Try this for You
January is the month of resolutions. Before you make them, take a few minutes to examine the 5 things you need right now.
Resolutions can be daunting.
I found the exercise below many years ago and often use it in team building sessions. Try it yourself before you start your resolutions – it may change how you approach the New Year.
What I need right now
Choose (mark) five things from this list that you think you need more of. Add your own things if they are not on the list. But, select no more than five.
Put the 5 choices in order of importance.
What is your first step?
Whom should you share your five things with?
