I gave up on these types of goals but I like what you have come up with. I've always been a planner and I'm more successful when I'm organized. By creating this circle and not jumping right into it, I could prepare myself for a transition. I think it's important to set obtainable goals but also make them something you have to work for as well. Nice post. :) I always thought it was silly for people to make New Years resolutions only to fail at them two weeks later. I gave up on these types of goals but I like what you have come up with.

At least once a year I just sit down with a big sheet of paper and spend a couple of hours scribbling down things which I might desire and then run an elimination process on them until I narrow it down to a few clear goals. Your circle of life is more systematic and therefore more focused. Thanks for sharing. Your circle of life exercise is a great idea.

I hope I gave due credit! Thanks for such a refreshing approach to an otherwise frustrating tradition for me. Hi Simplemom (and Lisa):

I think that taking your time to reflect before rushing into things is great advice. After the chaos of the Holidays we certainly need it.

I especially love the idea that I don't need to have a list of 20 resolutions ready to go on Jan1 that I will probably never even get started on anyway! One thing my family did this new year's eve was to share one thing that they could work on to help them be a better person. We had some fabulous ideas, from trying to be more positive all the way to stopping hitting! I am going to do the circle of life activity. I know my life has been pretty unbalanced since having kids and being a stay at home mom for 6 years. Mom's needs tends to get dropped to the bottom of every list as I'm sure you all know:) .-= Tashia @ The Household Planner´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TCOBathome/~3/yBGuTrzpkMo/" rel="nofollow">2010 Free Printable Calendars are Ready!</a> =-.

I am searching for balance this year with my New Year's Resolution - to PLAY with my kids every day for 365 days! Too often I realized I was just being in the same room with them while I did chores - then saving my "playtime" for when they were asleep. I want to relax and enjoy them as well as have them just see me working and bossing them around. I am going to pick up 7 habits of highly effective families for the book club! Can't wait!
