A time to reflect...

I want to start by first of all wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

There is something quite magical about the new beginning that each January brings. It always seems to me to be the best time to let go of what is not working in my life and create anew whatever I really want to happen in the year to come. I take some time to reflect on what I have achieved over the past 12 months, what I am grateful for in my life and what I want to achieve in the 12 months to come.

What a year 2008 has been for me! The Top 5 highlights for me were that I:

• Created the LIVE IT! System, including an ebook, workshop, keynote speech and 1:2:1 sessions
• Appeared regularly in national magazines including Psychologies, Top Santé, Cosmo Bride and Healthy magazine and been interviewed live on the internet
• Worked with some amazing clients and witnessed some incredible transformations
• Sat 6 rows away from The Dalai Lama when he spoke at The Royal Albert Hall in London earlier this year
• Attended a Cashin family reunion in the Isle of Man with over 100 Cashin family members from all over the world, which resulted in becoming reunited with two gorgeous half sisters (and their families) who I am now delighted that I am getting to know better

So what about you? What did you achieve in 2008? What do you want to happen in the next 12 months?Using the LIVE IT! System, take 10 minutes in a quiet space, get a pen and paper and write down the answers to the following (for 2008):

1. What were your top 5 achievements?
2. What are you grateful for in the past year (and now)?
3. What would you like to let go of now?
4. What is your intention for 2008 (what are you going to achieve)?
5. What is your Vision (and values) for this year?
6. How are you going to put energy in to making this a reality (what actions will you take)?
7. What can you do that inspires you this year? What is your intuition telling you about this year?
8. Are you able to trust in yourself and in making your vision a reality?

I am grateful to so many people for supporting me and having faith in me in 2008, including; Damien, Fraser, Tom, Sarah, Mum & David, Dad & Yvonne, Sanja, Jude, Stuart K, Lou, Karen, Emma, Emma & Tom, Lucy, the Alternatives team, Nick W, Sue A, Hannah and all the wonderful people who I have networked with, worked with and been friends with… you know who you are!

Here's to an incredible, fun, inspiring, joyful, passionate, playful, connecting, successful, fulfilling, purposeful, loving year full of growth and learning.

And remember, it's no use just reading about changing your life… you need to go out there and LIVE IT!
