2011 A Year of “Aha’s”

As we come to the holiday season and the end of 2011 most of us spend a little time thinking about what happened in the year and what we would like to see happen for the coming year.

Personally, I am grateful for the ‘aha’s’ of 2011 which will help me to be laser focused for 2012.

 

Some great questions to reflect on for 2011 are:

 

1. What stands out as the most significant thing I learned this year?

For me I deepened my learning about what I choose to do with my time. So much of my focus for the past twenty years has been about work and in the past few years I have had the opportunity to slow it down just a bit and integrate play and personal time into my life.

2. What are you most grateful for in 2011?

I am most grateful for health- to me our health is our wealth- but I didn’t always have this realization. I have always been hearty and vital but watching my in-laws health deteriorate over the past few years really caused me to appreciate well-being and to take even better care of myself than ever before.

3. What can I do to deepen my contribution to the planet through my work?

My concept of work has shifted drastically- I feel blessed that I have been able to do work aligned with my purpose but in the past year I have found a deep longing to extend my sense of contribution. I am looking at how my work makes a difference for others and the greater good- I am looking at aligning with causes that heighten my sense of meaning- I am wanting to expand my outreach to others so that we can all work towards a vision of making a difference.

Asking these questions allows us to have some time to reflect on the ‘behind the busyness’ of our lives and to really ensure we stay centered and on path.

In my newsletter I share some exciting news about our business and how we are expanding it is part of the bigger vision!
