Year End Journal Exercise
2011 is quickly coming to a close. Take a few minutes – if you haven’t already – to journal on these 5 things before year end:
*Review the year by listing all your accomplishments for 2011 – even the small ones.
*Identify unhealthy thoughts / relationships / habits and release and leave them behind with 2011.
*Give Thanks for 2011 and all that happened … or didn’t happen.
*Make a list for 2012 of the things you would like to do or get done in 2012 (and not all in the first month). Be specific.
*And, wrap up with just one word. This is an exercise I use in my Journaling Circles: “If there is one thing you would like to have more of (in 2012) – in just one word – what would it be? Write that word in your journal in large letters on the page (fill the page with the one word). Now, write along each line of the letters what you would do if you received your wish. When done, color the word and page. Here’s a sample done in my last Journaling Circles:
This small list is great for you personally, your career, your home, family, you and your spouse. It’s a short list to discuss /write about / journal on / ponder / wonder / and agree that it’s valuable to do before midnight on December 31st.
Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! I look forward to 2012 and more writings for you!!!!

Wow! 2011 is just about over. And, as we approach 2012, I can’t help but wonder… are you ready? “Ready for what,” you ask? Ready for incorporating MORE into your life.
Strip away the unwanted craziness .. the must have toys… the ‘deep in the muck’ stress… ongoing (family or life) drama… to a new world. Make 2012 your year to sing, dance, write or paint – literally and/or figuratively .
If you want MORE creativity… MORE ideas … MORE direction… MORE clarity… MORE focus… MORE than just the day–to-day crazy corporate bull crap…you want MORE of something that you feel isn’t within your reach? If your future is about incorporating MORE of doing what you love because it’s time to do so, then jump off that corporate ship – that will never make it to the dock – and recognize it’s time to create your own world of work. There is so much crazy talk about the world coming to an end? Wouldn’t you be sorry that you didn’t live the life you wanted – really wanted – when you realize you are at the end of your road?
Changes are happening in the world of work, changes that affect the way we work, the way we look for work and the way we view work. Once you realize that full time jobs are becoming a lost commodity – also realize that people ARE still working – just differently. What do you need to do to be part of this new world of work? The answer is a BIGGER Question! And, that BIGGER Question is: Where do you want to be in 2012? What do you keep putting off until times are better?
What would you like MORE of? … Something to journal on these last days of 2011.
Meanwhile, my thoughts are on knowing that I’m doing what I came here to do – by helping you figure out how to do what you came here to do. Your New Year’s Resolutions can easily consist of A New Year Solution! Will your journal pages will be filled with solutions rather than resolutions? … It’s up to you. Now or sometime before your world comes to an end. If you need help in defining this MORE, just let me know. As the solution is simple!
Wishing you the best this Holiday Season. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and All Those Other December Holidays…
Warmest Regards,
