Inauguration – A Brand New Day- How Fun

Vision, ,

Today I have been watching the Inauguration festivities. If we all got a party like this when we got a new job wouldn’t we want to jump into it with enthusiasm? I know I would. But when there is no party for us we must create our own incentive.

A day like this, that comes every four years, gives us a opportunity to make a new pledge to our lives, our family, our work and our creativity. President Obama has a job for four years and no guarantee after that. Like us he will give it his best. We will take from this day what we will, but I hope we take a renewed sense of optimisim, and vision of possibility.

Here is my mini movie for the day- http://animoto.com/play/F50OCH5JDHB4UdUCywVL5Q

Journal Writing for Change

Exploration, Goals, Habits, , ,

Change was the theme for both parties this past campaign.

When we are in a national state of change it is a perfect opportunity to begin your own journal of change.

Life Review: take the time to review your  the past six month’s of your life. What did you accomplish? Is there an area that you would like to improve? Maybe your health was not up to par. Or you are not as fully engaged in your creative life as you hoped.

Setting Goals:  Use Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009 as end point.

Goal Examples:

  • On January 20 I will have written 4 chapters of my book.
  • By January 20 I will be walking 4 x’s a week for 20 minutes.
  • January 20 I will have made changes each day to improve my attitude.

On January 20 celebrate your inauguration into a new healthy and creative you.

But don’t stop there- set some goals for the year. Each day take a step towards reaching your goals.
