New Year's Resolutions Gone Astray - 7 Questions to Help You Get Back on Track

2009 is already moving so fast. Here we are already in February and getting close to Valentine's day. This is about the time when some of us get discouraged and just want to give up on our goals and dreams. However, this is the perfect time to pick up those dreams, dust them off, and really begin to Focus.

Today would be a good day to look back over the month of January and find some things to feel good about. What have you accomplished so far, and where in your life, have you been more conscious and present? What wonderful things happened last month? Forget about where you may have fallen off track. Give that no attention. Focus on what went right!

You might want to ask yourself the following questions:
1. Where did I find the joy in my life last month?
2. Who or what made me laugh out loud?
3. What happened that gave me a sense of relief and peace?
4. What caused me to feel a sense of accomplishment?
5. Did I take even one step forward towards my dream or goal and if so, what was that step or steps?
6. What insights came to me out of the blue?
7. Where did I find some inspiration last month?

Now, you can take these joyful, positive and productive experiences from last month and use them to catapult you into this month, and the next, and the next after that, for the full year, where you can build upon them. This means that you are already much further ahead towards your dreams and goals than you were 30 days ago. You are moving forward, you have established momentum, whether it feels like it or not yet.

Get ready to make 2009 the very best year of your life so far!
