Move into 2011 with Calm, Clarity and Confidence

Preparing the ground for 2011: Ten Questions to ask yourself
By Marilyn Daniels

Acknowledging the past with love – both its successes and disappointments – is the key to letting go and moving on. But too often, we try to build new growth on soil that hasn’t been properly prepared.

Here is a series of 10 questions to help you acknowledge, complete and celebrate ALL of who you were and what you did and were in the past year. Regardless of how you may have felt at the time…

How did you grow and develop in 2010?
What are you most proud of doing? Of being?
What are you least proud of doing? Of being?
How were you too hard on yourself?
How did you back away from showing up fully?
What do you want to acknowledge yourself for that no one else noticed?
What was your deepest, most powerful question? Did you answer it?
What was your biggest disappointment or challenge? What did you learn from it?
What did 2010 prepare you to do in 2011 that you haven’t yet been able to do yet?
What do you need to do to complete or let go of the past year?
