What are YOU going to do to Shake Things up Next Year?
December 3, 2009 by: Jenn
.The end of the year is upon us once again and time to reflect on the past year. Have things gone as planned? What are you going to do to shake things up a bit next year?
I am not just talking about shaking things up in your business life but also in your personal life. Sometimes we need to shake things up a bit to get life moving again. This has been a year for many people to become very cautious about life. The thing about becoming cautious it can lead us into being in rut and causing us to stop enjoying life. It is time for us to shake things up, everyone.
Dare to do something different next year. Try some new marketing and sales strategies. Offer some new services. Venture into new markets. Attend a new church. Take up singing, dancing, playing the piano. Enter into a creative writing contest, audition for a television show, take up glassblowing. Try something different.
What are some of the things that you have always wanted to do? Better yet, try something that you said you would never do. Go parasailing, deep-sea diving, take flying lessons, stand up to your mother, stop loaning money. Life is about living not just existing
Next year is the year of Jennifer. I have spent the last seven years raising my two nephews and putting my life on hold. My kids are almost grown now and it is time for us to step out into the world and shake things up a bit. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about how I want my life to operate and one thing for sure I am tired of sitting on the sideline of my life. I am ready to get out there, play in the game, and enjoy the hell out of myself. I am ready to learn, explore and have a damn good time in life. I want to show my children that life if for the living so that when they leave the nest they go out into the world ready for the adventures that life has to offer. In order to show them this, it must begin with me. I am ready, are you?
What will you do to shake things up next year?
I would love to hear, maybe you have an idea that I can borrow.

I always do the same thing but I tend to do it around my birthday. I look at myself and say right you are X years old now and what are you going to achieve in the next year! You are right about setting goals with your family and not just work because they are far more important than anything else to be honest!

I suggest that you set GOMPs (Goals, Objectives, Missions and Positions) for 2010. A set of GOMPs for each dimension of your life: Family, Relaxation-Fun-Pleasure, Education, Vocation-Career, Economic Security-Social Positionm, Spiritual Security and Health-Physical-Mental and Emotional.
As you lay out your GOMPs you can ensure balance in your life based upon your personal priorities.

I’m training to run a marathon. I’ve never done one before. In fact, I’ve never run more than 9 miles. I used to run a lot and have been as I train. But again, I need to push it and increase my distance this week. Why am I doing it? Running feels good (for me it’s a form of meditation). My older brother (he’s in his mid 30′s) did it and he said that ultimately, it helped him a lot. I know that the running is certainly helping me…
Anyway, that’s my big goal to kick off the new year (the marathon is in March). I know that if I can accomplish this, I”ll be pumped in other areas of my life as well (business).
