Every year, I do my own year in review. I look at the goals I’ve made and reflect on what I accomplished, what I avoided, and where I missed the mark. I’m not too hard on myself, though. Really, I don’t buy into New Year’s resolutions. I definitely see how some people need the new beginning to START or for inspiration. For me though, and I think like a lot of entrepreneurs, I am constantly setting new goals, coming up with ideas, and redirecting my path. I work toward reflecting on my world from a perspective that is outside and slightly above. I ask myself, if I were to see this as a story line and could be objective, what could I gather? If I can see that I’m going off course from what I set out to do, I ask myself a few things.
- How do I redirect to get back to my original destination/goal?
- Is this new course better for me? Should I continue down this path instead?
- Am I committed to the old course to my own detriment instead of being open to a new and better path?
Then, I sit in silence and wait for clarity. A good solid 10 minutes of silence and stillness helps me refocus my energy and brings a flood of inspiration for the next steps. What are you methods for goal setting? Do you find New Year’s resolutions effective and helpful? Or, do they set you up for disappointment? Let me know.
