Hello!
Filling your cup intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually is important in your personal and professional life. When your cup is full, you have more to give those around you, leaving a bigger impact on them and/or your work together.
Previously, I shared a worksheet with you to help guide you in this process (grab it if you missed it!).
Whether you are just starting the process of ensuring your cup is full or if you’re now successfully filling your cup, it’s time to use the energy you’re generating to be more courageous in visualizing what you want.
The end of the year is the perfect time to begin envisioning what you want in the new year.
Start by wondering, What do I want?
That question sounds simple on the surface and yet, it’s power-packed because the answers will sculpt your life, define your goals, and bring you a sense of fulfillment. This is big!
The word want gets used in so many ways so I want to make sure we’re on the same page for how I’m using it here.
Want means to feel a need or a desire for; to wish for a particular thing or plan of action; to want to start or stop being involved in something, to want strongly or for a specific reason.
How does it feel to read that? Exhilarating? Scary? Daunting?
It’s common for emotions like these to come up when you step out and step up.
I use this phrase to describe stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping up into who you want to be and what you want to do. To me, that feels scary AND exciting!
Next ask yourself..
What do I want in the next 30 days?
Write 1-3 descriptions for your 30-day wants.
For example, I want: to feel energized, to see my office organized, to connect with clients.
Tip: Don’t get caught up in the hows, only the wants for now.
Next, ask yourself…
What do I want in 90 days, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years.
Write 1-3 descriptions of wants for each of the time periods.
If you get stumped, stick with it. The first time I tried to write what I wanted in 10 years, I felt uncertain and frustrated. The more I did it, the more clear I got about it.
You can take it a step further and ask the same questions of your team. Gaining this clarity together can make you all more focused and motivated.
Here’s to leading yourself first!
