Well.
Can you EVEN believe the end of this current year is upon us?!
And what a year it has been! With all it’s ups and downs, twists and crazy turns, here we are. Getting ready to head into another year, filled with anticipation and honestly a little uncertainty about if the upcoming year will be much better than the present one.
Here is my plan. And I hope you will join me!
As an Oola Certified Life Coach, we talk about the 7 F’s of Oola; Fitness, Finance, Field, Family, Faith, Friends and Fun. The goal is to focus on all 7 areas and look at what is balanced and what needs some strengthening. Creating goals in all 7 areas is ideal, but let’s be honest- we often have some areas down and other areas need more attention!
I would recommend a goal in all 7 areas. As a matter of fact, I would strongly suggest THREE in all 7 areas. So, yes- 21 goals in all! Then I would recommend that you target your TOP 3-5 goals for the year. This focus might end up being primarily in one category or many.
How do you get started? 
- Grab a notebook and your favorite pen
- Grab a coffee or tea or other tasty beverage
- Find a time and space that allows you AT LEAST 20 minutes of solid focus time
- If you are an oil user, grab Valor, Highest Potential, Frank or any other favorite oil that inspires you!
- Sit for a few minutes, using oils and praying and/or reflecting.
- DIVE IN!
One great tool you can use during your DIVE in time is HERE– a great paper version or HERE for a simple online tool. However, you will still need to go back to your notebook to DREAM and DEFINE your goals!!
Another great tool to continue on your plan is to create a VISION board. The vision board is a wonderful visual aid to remind us what our plan is! It can include both the shorter term and longer term goals to keep you on your plan! Vision boards can be updated often- I use a cork board with a fancy frame and pin my pictures on the board. Many will often use poster boards and will place these vision boards in an office or workspace that you will see it often!
I also LOVE having a Focus Word for each year. I will pray and comb over my goals to decide what word best sums up my needed focus for the upcoming year. It can be anything- Growth, Intention, Relationships, Debt-Free…. There are awesome word generators and ideas out “there” to choose from!
So what about me?
I have not completed my tasks for the new year just yet. But I do know that my target goals will be around my health. I am still on the path to recovery, and healing my body through food, exercise and increasing my water will most definitely be on my list! I will also be focused on being more consistent. With scheduling, posting, and my time- whether business, family or pleasure- as self care time and FUN are necessary for my healing as well!
I am learning how to show up more… be present with my people. My family, my follows and myself. I am trying to embrace my story that I have to tell…. the value that I provide. When I SHOW UP. My word will be around this concept, I am sure of it. I will be spending time with my oils and carving out a quiet space to pray and design my goals to make my 2021 intentional and fruitful, no matter what it throws out.
Trusting in God for my plan and that it will align for His glory in this upcoming year as I begin my own goal setting and reflecting.
