Feeling motivated?

Feeling motivated?  Me neither!

Feeling overwhelmed is more like it.  We are over the hump (Election Day), Thanksgiving is coming up fast, then Christmas (Started your shopping yet? Me neither.), then New Year's! Soon enough the question that comes to mind will be "where did this year go?"

That is a great and serious question!  I have trouble remembering where the week went, let alone the year!  A whole year is a big deal, you should ponder it and spend some time remembering 2016!  Maybe even a few days to reflect on it and plan for 2017.  Yes, really, a few days!

I remember hearing the great Jim Rohn (his recollection of a bible verse) saying "go into your closet."  Meaning step away, find someplace quiet, with no distraction, no smart phone, no dumb phone, no television.  Break away from the "real world" and focus on yourself, what you've accomplished, what you didn't get to, but thought was important.  Celebrate your accomplishments, reiterate what is important to you, create goals for 2017, create a plan for 2017, create a timeline for your 2017 plan!

What better way to get motivated than spending some time patting yourself on the back for your accomplishments and reminding yourself of what YOU want to accomplish/what's IMPORTANT to YOU (this is the all important WHY!)

Reflecting on your week may only take a few minutes, your month a few hours ... but reflecting on something as monumental as your year deserves a few days!  Sure, you could wait until January 1, 2017 ... but you don't have to.  Your new year can begin today!

Have a blessed day!
