Hi there I'm finally back...two weeks after we entered 2011. I've been thinking about what are the 'big' things I have achieved back in 2010. Surprisingly, I don't quite remember if I have done any great things last year except giving birth to my 2nd child and my son Chardon Tristan in April. And that's the only thing I could be proud of. Oh my, I guess I didn't do much last year - how pity is that...unless I mentioned things I did very well that are work related like organising companies and State events (e.g. Sabah International Expo 2010) - its normality for me. But that's okay, so this year I want to do some transformation of myself and my life. What I didn't get to do in 2010 - I'll bring forward that more or less the same list 'TO DOs' in 2011. I'll do whatever I can! Let me share you just a bit on my 2011 plans - part of it is to focus more on my health; save more money; write a short children story (get publish later); join the Sabah Society Club; learn the drum; buy some new gadgets (will blog about it after purchase); try to apply a new job; travel to US in Dec; and oh ya of course...be a better mommy!
Thanks to my sister, Debbie that I came across this cool and so very inspiring 'Robin Sharma' Vlog about '5 Step Process to Make the New Year your Best Year yet'. I kept watching this video a few times to be inspired and motivate myself to better my life. Watch it and you'll understand what I mean:) What a great guru!
Now I would like to share what I learn from this video the '5 Step Process To Make The New Year Your Best Year Yet':
Step 1: Celebration
- What wins do you need to celebrate from the past 12 months?
- Write an inventory of your successes, wins, achievements and special moments
Step 2: Education
'With better awareness you can make better choices, and with better choices you're bound to see better results'
- What are the 3 best business lessons you learned from the past 12 months?
- What are the 3 best life lessons you learned from the past 12 months?
- What were you doing when you achieved your best results from the past 12 months?
Step 3: Clarification
'Clarity precedes Mastery'
- What are your Big 5 for this new year?
- What are your top 5 values for the next 12 months?
- What are your goals for the next 12 months?
- Creativity + Audacity = Mastery (Get creative; Be audacious; Dream; Challenge Yourself; etc)
Step 4: Graduation
- Take your goals, values and Big 5 for the next 12 months and graduate them into a plan (write down what you need to achieve every month)
Step 5: Visualization
- Emotionally engage with what you life will look like in the key areas of your life
- Revisit this picture every few days
