Happy New Year! (It’s My Birthday)
Sep 28, 2022
Tomorrow is my birthday and every year, I treat this as my personal New Year.
It’s a time of renewal.
It’s a time to reflect on the year that has gone by, celebrating the successes, and documenting the things that didn’t go as planned so that I might learn. Key point: there are no failures, only lessons.
Key Questions:
- What were the lessons from this past year?
- What am I planning for and building into for the year ahead?
I do this annually.
Yes, I use January 1st as a time to do this, as well.
And I do it quarterly.
Because my birthday lands so close to the end of Calendar Q3 (the third quarter of the year), it works out well.
I use a Life-Balance Wheel that I developed. It’s not the only one out there, and this one works for me. (If you’d like a copy, email me and I’ll send you one.)
I have a segmented wheel that I assess how I’m doing in each of eight areas. If this were a wheel that I’d be driving on, how smooth would my ride be?
These are the areas to consider:
- Personal Relationships
- Health
- Finances
- Professional (job/etc.)
- Social
- Avocational/Recreational
- Philanthropy
How are you doing in these areas?
For me, there are some to celebrate and some to fortify.
And that’s what birthdays are for!
Happy New Year!
