Looking at a…
Blank, Full Year Calender, with all 12 months in view, we can see the entire year empty.
And in viewing the New Year as a “Clean Slate“, it can conjure up all sorts of scenarios and possibilities that we have the opportunity to fill in.
What are we going to do to make this the best year of our lives?
It’s so cool…that we can really create the New Year the way we want to…as the only thing that can stop us is our dreams and ourselves.
And this year, when the months are through, mark them off with a big “X”, and by doing so, we get a reality check…because with an “X”, the once “clean slate” is gone forever, and can never come back…so it’s up to us not to waste what was given to us, from the start, without restrictions.

Are you Vague…
Or are you Clear, when it comes to your Vision of your life?
Either way, your future will, most likely, be the same.
“Hazy goals, achieve, at best, Hazy results.
So be careful on what you want your future to be, because the starting point and the way you envision it, will be the way your future ends up.

A Crabopotamus…
Is someone who is a bit more crabby than they should be.
We can all be a Crabopotamus, occasionally, but don’t want to be one for long.
It’s is our choice to be happy or not, so what’s the big deal to look on the positive side of things or “Spin”, the not so good stuff.
It just takes a bit of conscious reminding, and with a little repetition, is starts to condition into a subconscious act.

Our energies…
Go where are thoughts are, and have been.
So, just look around at your life and you can see where your thoughts have been, because those are the areas that have been receiving your energies and thusly, your attention.
If you see good things around you and in your life, keep up the great thoughts, it’s what has been the starting point of what you see.
And conversely, if you see chaos and a mess when you look around at your life, and the things in it, it started with your thoughts as well.
So Simple…whatever you see, started from your thoughts, and whatever you don’t see, has faded away for the same reason.

“How” to Balance
I’ve received a lot of feedback on the “Balance” blog from yesterday and most of it was coming from people having a hard time letting go of work once they are at home.
It’s a common challenge, but what works and has worked with the people I’ve coached is a couple of things:
1. Make time for YOU where you are “unavailable”. I’m not talking about if an emergency comes up, but time for you to take that nap, read your book, watch TV, or just decompress in anyway you like to and not be available for work, thinking, phone calls etc…just declaring that you are unavailable does wonders to put your mind at ease without guilt.
2. Make plans so that you replace thinking about work with other things. The plans can involve family, friends, barbecue – whatever will allow you to balance. Also declare this time to be “YOUR” time guilt free.
The fact is, the root cause of not allowing yourself to “balance out” at home by having fun or doing nothing is guilt = you think should be doing “something” to be productive, but understanding that doing “nothing” IS charging your battery so you can be raring to go back on the job and be more effective when you get there while having more fun while home!
