A Focus for 2007

January 2, 2007

Steve Pavlina suggests setting a “primary focus” for the year, rather than a more specific resolution. I have had some success with resolutions, here and there, but my best results have come when I kept my goals general. Which is basically what Steve is suggesting.

I believe that my weakest area is best summed up as “spirituality”, in the sense of having a connection to the things and events around me. In particular, I need to work on appreciating and enjoying where I am and what I am doing, rather than just doing because it needs to be done. So that’s my focus for 2007: to appreciate and find joy in things.

I am also starting a new 30 day trial: to spend 15 minutes, three times a day on my own personal development. I plan to use this time for actively visualizing my goals. I want to identify beliefs or fears that are holding me back, particularly in the creation of my own business. I will also use the time to read articles and books, review my goals and my progress, and to optimize my efforts. And sometimes I might just sit and empty my head to be One With The Universe for 15 minutes. I expect it all to be time well spent.

What are your plans for 2007?
