How much time, energy and focus have you put into the upcoming year?

Are you planning to jump in on January 1 and go gangbusters? Are you waiting until after the holidays to get the MOJO going?

Most people are and perhaps you aren’t one of them, but just in case you are – here are some thoughts for you. Only 3% of the population sets goals. The vast majority of people spend more time planning a birthday party then PLANNING THEIR LIVES!

But it’s not your fault. You were conditioned that way. If you knew better you would do better.

Have you ever planned every detail of a trip and it was spectacular?

You knew your flights, arrival times and what the rooms looked like in the hotel. You planned out each day to squeeze in all of the sites so as not to waste anytime precious time. What do you think would happen if you planned your life with that kind of precision?

Your life might be pretty spectacular. You might add some richness, some adventure, some pretty cool stuff into it that you wouldn’t have thought of if you were just winging it.

So how do you take 365 days and break them into planning segments? You don’t. You take a top line view. Jump up to a 10,000 foot view and look at the big picture! Let go of rules and regulations and allow your imagination to go wild. It’s a fun game to play and when something is playful, you are more likely to do it. Game-ify your goals.

Here are 3 fun steps to plan for the new year ahead:

1. Pick 3 words and that speak to you.  My words for this year are:

Authenticity, Generosity,  Laughter

2. Next, think of something from nature that is your symbol.  This year I picked:

Bamboo

3. Lastly- come up with one word that is your theme for the year. Mine is:

Engagement

Fun, right? Lastly, pick a time, place and system for writing out your goals. Infuse it with music, meditation and movement for a stronger creative vibe.

We are including a Vision Mapping Program in January at our Strong Mind, Healthy Body Retreat.

I also strongly suggest you get yourself into a goal program that holds you accountable for the year.
