First On Your New Year’s To Do List: STOP

When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

Creating a new you is more frequently about what you stop doing than what you start.  In a world where we are overwhelmed with to do lists, appointments, crammed schedules and activity, the best place to start the new year is in silence.  Just stop.

Stop and examine 2011.  Stop and see what worked and what didn’t work.  Before creating goals and a vision plan, you need to evaluate.  Make some time to tell yourself the cold hard truth of your life: where you’ve achieved and where you’ve failed.  This year, do it from a different perspective: choose 3 things you are NOT going to do all year.

Here is a great resource to start with: 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself.  What’s on your list?
