What Are You Creating?
By Sheila Hawkins

It’s official. 2009 is here. Now that it is here, what are you creating for the year? Honestly, have you really thought about it? If not, don’t put it off any longer. Start to think about the things that you want to do during the course of this year. Choose things that are fresh and new; that excite and inspire you. Choose things that will force you to expand yourself and step into uncharted territory in both your personal and business life. Once you have that list of fresh, new and inspiring things, plan your work, and then work your plan.

If you’re having trouble getting your juices flowing, start by thinking about what’s working and what’s not working. Before you start anything you have to know where you are, so take a good look at these two things. Ask yourself what you will have to do in order to get those things that aren’t working to work.

Next, ask yourself what it is that you want to let go of and leave behind with the old year. You can let go of old habits, things and even people; everything that you see is holding you back. Once you let go of these things, you create room for the new, positive things to enter your life.

What things do you want to take with you into the new year? Look at the things that are working for you to jump start your thoughts.

Once you work through these things, you’ll have a blank canvas and be ready to create what you want for your new year and step into it. Create your list and then turn them into SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and tangible) values-based goals with a specific plan. You might even want to create a vision board with images and phrases of things that remind you of what you’re creating. Seeing your vision board every day truly provides support and motivation for you, especially if you are a visual person. Pick up your brush and put it to your canvas. Don’t let time pass you by, get started now!
