Where has all the time gone? I seemed to have lost a lot of “time” with the holidays. Unfortunately there are others out there that probably can relate to this whole issue. Where did the time go? It goes by quickly. One week turns into the next and than it becomes a month and now we are in February all ready. So I decided that I needed to get back on track with the things that are important to me in my life. Every year in the beginning weeks I write down what my goals are for the year. However I ask myself different questions. From the book Language of Letting Go there are several questions to ask yourself. I answer each question and than I break down each one into steps of how I can achieve these goals. I tend to look at what is happening in my life that I want to better and how can I improve them. I encourage my clients to look at different ways to set goals related to weight loss or smoking cigarettes or even drugs and alcohol. By making a statement that I want to be more healthy and feel better about myself. So the next obvious question would be what does that mean for me. If you want to lose weight you would frame your answer to state I want to eat three balanced meals a day and exercise at least 3 days a week for the first month and so on. If smoking if your struggle, the steps to take could be being aware of when you smoke and why you smoke and write in a journal, take a walk, etc. If you re-frame your goals they do not seem to be the traditional goals that most of my clients fear setting because what if they fail. By framing it in a positive way you will see more progress thus success not failure. So for the next 12 posts take time to answer these questions.
Remember there are no wrong answers.
