I promise...

It’s official…I give myself the month of January to wish as many as able to a “Happy New Year” and to bridge between the years in reflection and planning.  But now it is February and time to implement carefully thought out promises (my new word for resolutions=”promises to myself”) and strategic direction.

I don’t know about you, but I often remind myself that resolutions and strategic plans, may have dates attached to achieving them, but more so are meant to be a process over the full 12 months.  Did you engage in creating some? How are you doing first month in?  What benefits would a trusted partner offer to stay on track?  

A life coach, a change agent, is an option to consider on your journey?  Our goal is your goal. We offer tools for your success. A chance to do something different, so new results are possible. Sometimes it’s simply not trying to go it alone and having a partner along the way to keep us going.

Or perhaps reframing the language, as noted. With my personal value of integrity, I am likely to keep promises I make to others. How good though am I at honoring them to myself?  Seems a bit in contradiction, perhaps an opportunity to improve integrity at my core and achieve greater progress? Stepping out of the box?

How would it feel to be patient and realistic with yourself? Breaking down promises and strategies by day, month, quarter or milestones?  Could you ask yourself routinely, “Am I moving forward?” We don't need to complicate the goals. If stuck or slipping backwards, what obstacle got in the way?  How will you decide to overcome the detour?
​
One last time…Happy New Year, Decade!!  I wish you peace and promises met.
