Your Best Year!

In just a few days, it will be 2009. I’ve never believed in making resolutions for the New Year. What I like to do instead is set goals, both long-term and short-term. These are usually in several categories.

My favorite book for this is Your Best Year Yet! by Jinny S. Ditzler. It’s just a little paperback that asks ten questions “for making the next twelve months your most successful ever.” I’ve used it for the past eight years, not only for myself but with my students.

This book can be used in any area of your life, from income to relationships to self-esteem. One reason I love this book is that it starts out with looking at what you accomplished over the past year. This acknowledges the positive aspects of your life rather than just those things that didn’t work out.

At the end of just a few hours you end up with a one-page summary of your plan for the next year. They become your own words of wisdom for the year. If you want to try it, click on the book here.



What does this have to do with Fanny’s mission on this blog?

I believe we cannot attract the kind of relationship we want until we are willing to do some work on our own personal growth. We may think we know what we want for our life, but until it is written down with a bit of structure and planning, it goes nowhere. We cannot leave our love life up to chance.

If you are already in a good relationship, this kind of exercise can help to change it from merely “good” to “great!” That’s something we all deserve!

May you create joy and abundance in all things this next year!

I’m off to work on my own 2009 goals!

I blow you a kiss ~ ~ ~
