Reflection and Intention:
The Best of 2009, Creating 2010

I highly recommend using this review and planning tool, created in part by Paul Schadler, MD.  This is the ninth year I’ve used it, and it helps me keep my focus on all that is most meaningful to me.  Give yourself several hours over two or three days to work with it.  Give yourself the gift of being very present, without rushing through it.


The Best of 2009

Go wild!  Acknowledge all your goodness and greatness.
One guideline: no criticism, only positives.

• What did I accomplish that I am most proud of?
• What experiences touched me the most? Were the most intimate?
• When did I have the most fun?
• What experiences were the most powerful?
• Most sacred?
• What difficult challenges did I meet successfully?
• In meeting the challenges, what did I do best?
• What lessons did I learn?
• Describe my power in those situations.

Creating 2010

Think big!  Be bold!  Have fun!

• What dominant intention do I have for 2010?
• For my mind/body/spirit?
• My relationships?
• My home environment?
• My work/service?
• My finances?
• My growth/development?
• My fun, adventure, expression?
• In which areas of my life do I plan to move forward in 2010?
• What challenges do I intend to overcome?
• What specific goals do I intend to achieve in 2010?
• Who do I want to be?  What do I choose to live/express more?
