What will you do to make 2012 your best year ever?

I am not one so much for New Years resolutions. I associate resolutions with “I am not good enough and need to be better”. I associate New Years resolutions with things like “giving something up” usually a bad habit, starting to do something I “should” be doing, or doing something that takes a lot of effort and “work”. I would rather commit to making 2012 my best year ever.

What do I accomplish by committing to make 2012 my best year ever?

You may think that committing to make 2012 my best year ever is a rather nebulous goal or you may think, wow that could be a very difficult goal to reach, if you have ever had an incredible year in your life.

Here is What You Can Do to Insure that 2012 is Your Best Year Ever.

1. Set goals in every area of your Life – The areas are: Financial, Career, Emotional, Mental/Knowledge, Spiritual, Physical/Health, Life experiences and Relationships. The idea is to grow yourself and advance towards balance in every area of your life. Assess which areas you are weak in and set larger goals in those areas. Having goals in every area of your life will insure that 2012 is your best year ever.
2. Make at least one, preferably two, of your goals BIG – Pick something you’ve always dreamed of doing. Make it something that excites you, something to push you outside your comfort zone, something you can look back on and savor. For instance, I am a physical person and like to stay in shape. My goal last year was doing a two day, 200 mile bike ride. The year before last one of my BIG goals was spending a month in Peru and seeing Machu Picchu. The idea is to test your outer limits, experience something new and amazing or advance significantly in one area of your life. Achieving at least one BIG goal will insure that 2012 is your best year ever. Something I discovered about my BIG goal was that I inspired others to set BIG goals and now even have others who want to do BIG goals with me!
3. Make the goals S.M.A.R.T. Goals – Smart goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Bound. You are already time-bound with your one year time limit. If you want to know more about smart goals Google it. Smart Goals will insure that 2012 is your best year ever.
4. Write them down – I can not over-stress the importance of this step. Don’t go any further until you have goals in every area written down. Do it now! Don’t worry about getting your goals perfect. You can always revise your goals if they are too small or set another goal once you reach a small goal in one area. Just be sure at least one is BIG enough that you can be proud about it for a whole year. Written goals is the very best thing you can do to insure that 2012 is your best year ever.
5. Begin with the end in mind – See your goals accomplished in your mind and feel what it feels like when your goal is yours. If your goal is really BIG, start at the end and work your way back in steps until you get where you are today so you can plan all the steps you will need to assure you reach your BIG goal. Seeing and feeling your goals accomplished will insure that 2012 is your best year ever.
6. Review your goals on a regular basis – Review your goals weekly and monthly to be sure you are on track. Review at the end of every day what actions you will take the following day towards your dreams and goals. This is very powerful and if done consistently on a daily basis will advance you faster than you ever thought possible. Reviewing your goals on a regular basis will insure that 2012 is your best year ever.

Make 2011 your best year ever! Start today! Live the Life you have always imagined! You deserve the Best!
