Is this the year?
Is this the year you take more intentional steps toward things that are important to you?
You know.
The things you’ve wanted to do.
The things you believe you should do.
Of course, there’s work to be done. There are things to be paid for, like groceries, a mortgage or rent, property taxes, and tuition.
Here’s the big question.
Amid the obligations of everyday life, will we take the time to purposefully move our lives forward toward the things that matter most?
At some point during the year, Most of us will see our doctor for an annual physical examination regarding our physical health.
But what about the health of your soul?
What about the health of your relationships? What about the health of your career?
What about your emotional and psychological health?
Consider doing a Life & Work Self-Examination.
What is it?
It’s an opportunity to look at the current state of your life and compare it with what you want for your life.
And then identify reasonable and measurable steps to help you make meaningful progress toward closing the gap.
Here are some questions for reflection and a link to a worksheet if you would like to use it:
- Are you doing the work you want to do? Does your work take advantage of your strengths? Would you like a new direction? What are the next steps for you?
- What about your relationships with the people closest and most important to you?
- Are you growing personally? Are you feeding your soul? Are you reading and being inspired by great ideas?
- Are you happy with the contribution you’re making to the world? How do you feel about your positive impact on the lives of others?
- Do you have goals for your life and work? If so, are you satisfied with your progress toward these goals? If not, what would appropriate and reasonable goals be?
