Seasonal December 1

Seasonal December 1:

          We are fast into December.  Wow it is hard to believe that Christmas Holidays and other Special Holidays for others is so close at hand!  There is so much to do coupled with a lot of stressful extras.  Planning is the key to a successful season.  The trick...is having the determination to stick to the plans and roll when the plans do not stick to schedule.

          A few tips to get you through:
  1. If you have children or grandchildren, a special child in your life...get their schedule and make sure their events are a priority in your plans.  It will make them feel special and appreciated for what they are doing as the world stresses out around them.
  2. Got your parcels and cards in the mail yet?  Many places fill up quickly and cannot guarantee the ability to arrive on time early.
  3. Double and triple check wiring and outlets outside before plugging in and make sure you have a helping buddy while putting up the lights.
  4. Usually people pad their time by 10 to 15 minutes when going some where.  If you live in the great white snow (or in our case very sub-zero temperatures and looking a little funny with snow boots while the ground is bare of the fluffy stuff) give yourself an extra 1/2 hour to an hour to insure the time for parking and walking while bundled.
          Scheduling extra time for any out door task, activity or travel is the best bet for anyone wishing to not be rushed or confounded by traffic.  Reduce the stress!

Have a great Season!

Change and setbacks

          There is a Song and Dance that could I tell about the last year.  The ups and downs.  The circles of round and round.  Hardships and celebrations.  Would it be useful?  No, not really!  Well, maybe, the celebrations!

          I have been doing alot of things over the last year and honestly none of which have been business related.  Ok, some business, in person...no internet.  Plans changed.  Steps went left instead of right.  Some may remember a big accident last Christmas.  It was a life altering event for alot of us and not just my son.  It came with alot of things.  Organizing changes, general life changes, planning sessions, and Change being the biggest thing to sort through by far.  Setbacks can happen and under most conditions do just that!


When change and setbacks occur great
Creative and determination can arise! 
look for it!
          Recently I have looked at the business and sat pondering the next steps and what it is come for it.  Will I close up shop for good?  Will I start over?  Will I just change things up?  How will things be now and what will things look like?

          These are all of the things that I asked myself.  There are so many more questions that were asked and that I am still asking.  When change and setbacks occur look at all of the possibilities before settling on a decission. 

           Make plans to move forward or beyond.  Staying caught up in things is the easiest thing to do and sometimes the hardest to get through.  Take your time.  Plan.  Make change.  Grow and Be.

          These moments are your's and your's alone.  Maybe not the drama or in most cases trauma, yet the change and how you handle it is truly your's. 

          How do you handle such life changing times?  Please leave your comments below.

Have a great day!

Goals and Resoluntions Season Change December

Goals and Resolutions For Decemeber Revision:

This in is preperation for Spring: I decided to pop this out early in case some of you already find the season to hectic to even think about what to do next spring so close to chirstmas.  I'll send another reminder for those who don't mind on the appropriate date of Dec 21st! 

Goal setting: I found the easiest goal setting method instead of resolution method is to do them 4 times a year. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. In doing this they have long term effects in shorter direct time. Adapt the fitness resolution to what fitness activities you can do to the season. Much easier!
How do you set your goals? Once a year? As they arrive?

·         Day 1 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
Be Very Specific with What You Want. Out door play time, picnics, yard work, children out at beginning of next season, holidays etc.
Keep your goals simple, clear and focused. Saying you want to get the yard work done is too big a concept. Saying I want to reseed the yard is very specific, clear and direct.

·         Day 2 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
Have Concrete Reasons. Goals need to have a purpose. Make sure you understand why you are doing what you are preparing for. Without the knowhow and it's valued importance you will lose motivation and interest.

·         Day 3 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
writing it all Down. Write each step for each goal down on paper. Put them in order of importance. Include which steps you can during a week and finish off the bigger aspects on your time off or weekends.
Each step will get you closer to you completed project.

·         Day 4 Goal Organizing: Spring Focus
Set Deadlines and Review times. When scheduling your goals take time to schedule in a review or check in time for them. If it is a large project then add in a check in every 3 to 4 steps. Adjust goals and schedule according to your findings. If you managed to do more steps than was scheduled then you end date can be moved up as well.

·         Day 5. Use Assistance.

If you are not making progress think about getting family and friends to help you keep on track and be pro-active by asking for help with the project or task.  Support, accountability and advice are worth their weight in gold.

Day 6  When you are all done...Celebrate!  Now you can get the work done step by step as you go.  No more what am I doing and off and running to enjoying the Spring Season!
