Take a brisk walk in nature while contemplating what next step you can take.
A full two months has passed since my last blog post and I want to apologize for the hiatus. A lot of wonderful opportunities have come into my life over the past two months, one of which brought me to travel unexpectedly and others of which have caused me to reprioritize. Each of these opportunities were eagerly welcomed though, since they were all invited into my life by me earlier this year in my goal and intention setting.
Speaking of which, I wanted to reinvigorate each of you to connect to your original goals and intentions set forth for 2010 and to evaluate any breakthroughs or obstacles you’ve already experienced. What better day to embark on this than March 4th. Why March 4th you might ask? Well, one of my favorite days happens to be March 4th because within its very title it has the essence of powerful, deliberate action…get it?…March Forth!

Happy New Year! What new experiences do you want to have in 2010?
Today is not only the start of a new year but also a new decade and one that fell on a full blue moon eclipse, so it seems like a particularly powerful and auspicious time to think about the life you want to create in the next one to 10 years. One of the best ways to do this is by listing your goals – the one’s closest to your heart so I’ve provided some tips to help you do just that:
Goals work best when they are SMART.
SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. You won’t be able to chart your achievement if your goal is too vague, too big for you to believe is possible, or has no timeline attached to it. For more information on setting SMART goals visit the online goal setting guide.
Sometimes a practice can benefit from instruction or collaboration.
A practice is generally referred to as “habit or custom” as well as “a repeated performance or systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill or proficiency.” While a practice can be a craft, skill, trade or profession it can also be considered a meditation, a discipline, or a commitment. In all cases, it involves continuous time and energy, as well as focus and patience which, with all the distractions of modern life, it seems that nearly everybody could benefit from. For these reasons I believe that “having a practice” of any variety, is a worthwhile pursuit for anyone.

Self-actualization |
Comment on this post Times of great economic, environmental and social change, like the one we are living in, require more innovative thought and action than usual. One response I’m witnessing to this climate of change and barren job market (where the unemployment rate is 9% and the underemployment rate is more like 25%) is that of entrepreneurship. It is a response that I whole-heartedly support because I see the benefits it has brought into my own life and I feel that the inevitable result will be more people following their passions and using their gifts.
Watch for patterns to emerge as you look back at jobs you've held.
