Is Your Year Half Full or Half Empty?

7 Tips to Make 2009 Your Best Year Yet

We just passed the half-way point of 2009 and are half-way closer to 2010, summer is upon us and for most of us that is a pleasant, out door, carefree time, even if we aren't going anywhere on vacation. Traditionally this is a time to slack off a little, give ourselves a breather so to speak. Taking care of yourself and relaxing and rejuvenating is extremely important if you are on a path to success but to get the most out of your vacation keep in mind the following tips...

1. How much vacation time do I have?
2. When specifically does my vacation start and end? This is epecially important if you are self-employeed or own your own business.
3. Realistically what can I and do I want to get done before my vacation starts? If possible put together a REALISTIC and ATTAINABLE checklist of things to be done before you go on vacation.
4. How am I doing in relation to my yearly intentions or goals? What is working, what isn't and why? If you did not set any NOW is a great time to start. If you reflect on this before your vacation you plant the seed so that new ideas and motivation can grow.
5. Is 2009, half full or half empty? What would it take to make it half full if it isn't already? Remeber the glass of water half-full or half-empty? A change in perspective may be your answer.
6. How can I make 2009 my BEST YEAR YET?
7. What is holding me back? What do I need to give up, change or strengthen?

Have an amazing guilt free vacation.
