Hello Everyone & Happy New Year for 2009!

We just wanted to share this tip with you before you start work for 2009…
To really help you hit the ground running this year there is one thing we highly recommend you do FIRST.
Now some of you may have already started work for the year or are sorry your Christmas and New Year holidays are over and you’re back in the office… or you’re glad to be back! But whatever your case is if you’re back at work reading this email we’re going to let you off the hook from actually starting work for an hour to do this one thing..

CLEAR OUT YOUR CLUTTER! Clean up your desk, clear out your emails and throw some stuff away!

• If you’ve got Christmas cards hanging around that you don’t want to keep send them to the recycling bin.
• If there are things out on your desk that you could really do putting in a drawer or filing do it
• Update your task and organisation system so it’s fresh and new!
• If there are things you haven’t done from last year that you were just putting off… do them right now.

There is nothing better than starting off a new year off with a clean slate, fresh and energised and ready for new!

So don’t get distracted by actually starting just one new work task… don’t let clutter or things from last year give you a hang over this year… get rid of the cobwebs and set your mind to getting those done first or if they are big tasks schedule them into your calendar to do THIS WEEK.

Once you have simplified your working space, cleared out all clutter, cleaned up and re-organised yourself you will be amazed how much better you feel, you will be more energised and you will have plenty of room for new!

We wish you a wonderful, happy, healthy & safe 2009!

Do you start things with the best intentions and full of motivation to achieve your goal be in your personal life or at work but then find you lack the motivation you need to keep going and finish what you set out to do – or even start?

Or you try again and ‘this time’ you will do it? Reading or listening to motivational CD’s and books, scheduling that time into your diary and/or having your own Life Coach is a great way to stay motivated but how can you stay motivated all the time?

Here are the 3 key factors a person needs to stay motivated:

1. Monitor your progress –

Before you start any new goal write down exactly where you are now. If it’s exercise, note the frequency, duration, endurance, strength, your weight, size etc. Relationship, how you’re communicating, time spent together, fights etc. Business, you have no business yet just the idea and get up and go to start one. As you go along keep note of your achievements.

2. Celebrate your success –

Too often people are too hard on themselves, they think because they haven’t reached their goal yet or are perfect they can only see how they’ve failed or how far they still have to go. If you are feeling this way check out how far you’ve actually already come from where you were in the beginning! Then treat yourself when you’ve achieved mini milestones with something you like doing such as having a massage, seeing a movie, special dinner or simply a day off!

3. Remind yourself WHY you’re doing it -

This I think is the absolute biggest motivator! What is the purpose of you achieving this goal and what will it mean to you / those around you once you have achieved it? Ask yourself what will it mean if I DON’T achieve this goal?

When you stop and ask yourself these questions and remind yourself just what it means to you – you should have all the motivation you need. Things that can inhibit motivation can be; not believing in yourself, lots of excuses or just laziness.

Ensure you have first set realistic and achievable goals and then never forget that believing in yourself is one of the most important factors of success.

If you’re using excuses as why you can’t or don’t want to achieve your goal anymore take a good hard look at what those excuses are and ask yourself are they really relevant or am I just justifying?
If you’re being lazy – get up and JUST DO IT!

You’ll be much happier after you have done it than if you carry around I should have done it.. or your unfulfilled goals.   -The JinaLife Executive Coaching Staff
