Week #1: Get off to a great START!
Tip #1: Before you begin a fresh adventure, take off to explore an exciting new path, make a healthy, positive change or give a dream another go, it’s best to first make a realistic assessment of where you are right now and take stock of the qualities that define who you really are.
Questions: As you reflect on who you really are and take an honest stock of your strengths, are there any modifications you need to make to your resolutions, new ideas and plans for the new year? If you resolve to move forward with your new beginning, how might you allow your inner knowing to guide you toward an authentic start?
Tip #2: Take an honest look at the obstacles that will likely get in the way of your progress.
Questions: What might prevent you from achieving your goals? What normally gets in your way? What’s your plan for dealing with those obstacles?
Tip #3: Rate your readiness.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
― William Hutchison Murray
Questions: On a scale of 0-10, how committed are you to your goal(s)? Are you ready to boldly begin?
Tip #4: Get support.
Questions: What options for support can you explore? What will help you remain accountable and committed to your goal(s)? How will you go about getting the support you need?
