Hello and a very happy new year to you. I hope it has got off to a great start after enjoying quality time away from the computer.
So deep breath……
There’s a whole new year ahead of you. Imagine what you could do if you put your mind to it. The challenges you could overcome, the new experiences you could have the breakthrough results that you could achieve. It’s all to play for, but it means nothing if you are not happy.
Yet, it means nothing if you don’t feel a deep inner happiness about who you are and what your life represents to you. I had to learn the hard way that work, work, work made me a very dull girl. Back in 2008, in my workaholic ‘always-on’ lifestyle days, I was struck down by a mysterious illness that affected every aspect of my life.
Whilst extremely painful at the time, it taught me one of the most important lessons of my life. Slowing down, taking time to consider what really mattered to me and how to find my joy made a big difference to my outlook in life.
In a recent conversation with a coaching client we were identifying some stretching goals for her year ahead and at the end I asked her: What would give you the most joy? What would make your heart sing?
As a result we added a deeply personal goal to follow her passion for animals. Something she had always put off because she was so busy.
But here’s the thing – feeding our joy adds rocket-fuel to our life. It is exponentially more sustaining on our tough days then all of our other activites combined.
So my suggestion for you as you look to the year ahead is to consider what gives you the most joy? And when you know what that is, set a goal for how much time per month you want to spend following that passion. I promise it will lead to a much happier and fulfilling year for you as a result.
