Just Imagine Coaching

Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes

So 2011 is almost over!  I do hope it’s been a good year for you.  I’ve been looking back at the goals I set myself for 2011 and I am pleased with how I’ve done in general.  I think I’m going to call 2011 the Year of Moving On.

Don’t get me wrong I haven’t done everything on my list, but then a couple of things that were important this time last year, became less important as the year went on.  That’s life isn’t it.  One important step with goal setting is being flexible and reviewing goals regularly to check they are still as relevant to you as when you set them.

But 2012 is going to bring new changes for me and what I am doing.  As many of you may know I’ve decided to take Just Imagine Coaching in a slightly different direction which means I am going to focus most of my energy (but don’t worry I’m not leaving anyone out) on working with women whose families are moving on, just as mine has in 2011. This will be the last Extreme Self Care blog as a result.

My new web site has been launched and although it’s not 100% finished I would be interested to hear what you think of it.  You can find it at www.womenonhold.com.

But enough about me, it’s time for the end of year review for us all.  So stop for a few minutes and consider the following questions. I’d really recommend taking note of your answers so that you can look back at them in December 2012.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

1. 2011… was the year you did what/the year of…..?

2. What was your greatest lesson in 2011?

3. What are you most proud of achieving in 2011?

4. If you could repeat 2011 – what would you do differently?

5. If you could create a theme for 2012 – what would it be? (peace? fun? freedom?)

6. In 40 years time, how do you want to remember 2012? As the year you did what?

7. What three things can you do to set yourself up to succeed in 2012?

8. How could you sabotage yourself and how will you stop?

9. What would you have to believe about yourself and the world to have a great 2012?

10. What baby steps can you take in January 2012 to start the year with a flourish?

Happy New Year to everyone and keep up the Extreme Self Care as often as you can

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes

Last week I recommended a book to you called The Alchemist by Paul Coelho.  So I thought this week I would give you some quotes from the book which might help with your search for a hidden passion for our challenge this month.

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”  

“All you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation. Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there.” 

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”

“You’ve got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.”

I hope you are enjoying the treasure hunt and that you are still finding time to practice Extreme Self-Care in the madness that is Christmas!
