I love opening a new pack of crayons, note cards, or a new journal. You can imagine how excited I am for a new year. Then I saw a short paragraph in a magazine. . .
"Increase your chance for success by focusing on what matters most . . . This free program empowers you to identify and work toward improvements promising the greatest satisfaction."
So I took a look at LifeReimagined.org/renew
The first activity was to come up with seven or more goals. Each card has a space to type in your objective. When you finished typing in your ambition, the program has you select what goal you would choose to do first between two of your cards.
Would you do this first or this?
After cycling through all your goals, you end up with your #1 goal. You can repeat the process with new ideas.
This turned out to be my #1 goal. Not what I expected.
Next the program gives you a chance to journal about what you can change to accomplish your goals.
I am going to try to go to bed earlier and get up earlier. There never seems to be enough hours in a day!
Another step says,"This activity helps you put everyone else’s needs aside for a while and reflect on your own priorities."
As a mom of five children and grandmommy to thirteen grandchildren, I admit this step was difficult for me. I don't think about my priorities. More time to reflect and journal.
I am going to have to work at this. I am considering setting a timer to make sure I get my writing time in each day.
The program goes on, "Get to the root of who you are to determine if the goals you want to accomplish are what will make you happy.
Wishing all of you great success in the new year and hoping you all accomplish what will make you happy. Share your goals so we can cheer you on.
