Have a one word resolution for 2009

I’ve been thinking about my goals today after finishing an online life coach course and it’s taken me back to my word for 2009 – SUCCEED.

What I’ve realised is that if I am truly going to succeed by the end of the year, I’ll have to narrow my focus down even further. So, in preparation for this, I’ve cut my 43T list significantly, leaving only the goals that I feel that I can definitely work towards. The main areas are writing & walking with a few other aims left in as wider dreams or ideas.

I haven’t given up my other goals in the long-term, but I want to crack these areas first.

Once again, my energy is slowly filtering back into work and nothing else. I don’t work silly hours, but I do put in 9 hr days without breaks, which tends to max out my brain.

There are another 3 weeks before I go on holiday, and I don’t just want to expend them on the day job. SO – I vow to do the following:

8/8.30-5 (no lunch break)
5-6 (rest and dinner)
6-8 (writing)
8-9 (computer)
9-11 (relax)

Going to do it day by day and record progress. At least there will be a holiday at the end of it.

I’ve put in so much hard work in the last 6 months – first looking for a job, then driving, then writing – that I have run out of steam. I really feel as if I need a break, to clear my head and start again.

The mother-in-law is coming to stay this weekend so I’m going to take an opportunity to have some fun (yeah – sounds wierd, but she’s a real character). Then back to the plan on Monday.

I’ve had two good successes this month. It will be great if this lasts for the whole year!

I have tried to consciously think of the word ‘succeed’ almost every day and although things haven’t necessarily come to me easily, the word has inspired me to keep going. The main area that I would like to succeed in at present is my driving test, which is less than a fortnight away. I am using this goal together with my hypnosis CD to grow a positive mindset before the day of reckoning.

I want to succeed in 2009, to feel the buzz that comes with attaining a fantastic goal, something really difficult to accomplish. I already know what that goal is.

I would also like to make every area of my life as successful as it can possibly be. Peak health, loving & supportive relationships, a well-designed & comfortable home, to produce positive results at work and to dedicate myself to my hobbies with passion.
