This Holiday Give YOURSELF a Gift

Have you noticed that during this time we give gifts to other people, but we don’t give anything to ourselves?  It’s time to change that!  In a moment you’re going to give yourself a wonderful gift.  While it’s not the kind you can wrap, you’re going to truly enjoy accepting it.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that in addition to all the shopping and parties and festivities during this time of year, many people make their New Year resolutions.  But you know how they go… onto next year’s list!

Seriously though, beyond the cliches, with all the uncertainty and “doom & gloom” forecasts in the media, now more than ever it is absolutely necessary that we refocus on the things that are REALLY important to us.

So here’s the gift you now give to yourself:  2 hours.  That’s right!  2 hours of focused time, where you can reflect on and capture what’s most important to you, how you now want that to show up in the coming year, and why you’re absolutely committed to that vision.

Ideally you will have invested at least 2 hours, but if you’re in a crunch then break it up into two 1 hour intervals.  During that time you can ask yourself questions like, “What 30 things do I hold closest to my heart?” and “What do I now want?” and “What am I even more grateful for at this very moment?”  Maybe you can assemble your “vision board”.  The sky is the limit!  Do what works for you.  Now, whether you do it by yourself or find a good program to help you (e.g., CD, seminar), that doesn’t matter.  What does matter is that you do this for yourself.

In an effort to help some people with this process I’ve scheduled a free teleseminar on January 5th at 5pm PT.  Due to limited space, you’ll want to register here:

If you can’t make it during that time, please email and I’ll see about adding additional sessions to the calendar.

Like I said, it doesn’t matter to me whether you do this by yourself or with someone else or with me.  The point is that you DO IT!!  Take this opportunity to counter all the negative things that bombard you at every turn with a positively meaningful vision.

In a year’s time I imagine you smiling back happily as you thank yourself by saying, “All the great and wonderful things that I have experienced this year have come from that one moment I accepted a simple gift from myself.”

Wishing you the most joyous holiday!
