Here are ten questions you can start your year with. These questions can be used to help you re-focus and set some meaningful goals for 2011.
I find it can be helpful to have a few guiding questions in mind when looking to brainstorm some new ideas or to look for a new path.
This list is also available on the home page of this site under the “Questions” button.
- What do I enjoy doing most? What gives me energy?
- If I had no financial or other obstacles, how would I be spending my life?
- Specifically for me, what does success/happiness look like?
- What is really stopping me from achieving that success? Really, what is it?
- What am I afraid of about this situation? What am I avoiding that I need to face or deal with?
- Currently and eventually, what is this situation costing? How are my current behaviors influencing this? What is the payoff for making a change?
- What is the worst that could happen? And what is the best that could happen?
- What is the quality I’d most like to develop in myself this year?
- What are the 3 new positive habits I would like to create, starting today, that will give me the life I want?
- If my life were ending, what would I most regret NOT doing?
