2011 went by so fast that I can hardly remember the year. So I decided to add an early morning process or ritual to help me really be aware and appreciate 2012 and to accomplish my goals this year.

Hopefully, this process (or your version of this process) will help you feel grateful for where you are in your life and to stay focused to accomplish your goals.

Early in the morning, when you are not quite awake, grab your journal or notebook and answer the following:

Step 1: I am grateful for: List as many as come to you._______________________

Step 2: Now, what is your ah ha for today?  What intuitively comes to your mind for today? _______________________

My morning ah ha's so far this year:

• The best year ever
  
• Think big
• Action: Step by step to reach goals
• New health for me (ie. Cardio & weights)
• BIG Action
• Make every day count
• Balance work and self care

Step 3: What is your ONE Action for today? ______________________________

Yes, you may have more than one action that you’d like to accomplish, but what is your #1 top focus and priority.

Importantly, I like my mix of work and self care, which is a key focus for me in 2012. Some of mine so far this year:

• Join gym
• Women’s doctor appointment
• Conceptualize new project with new Marketing Expert
• Phone calls with some former NFL guys

ACTION: Add this Morning Ritual, to your day, enjoy 2012 and accomplish your goals!
