10 Questions to Get Ready for 2012

I posted 10 Questions to Reflect on 2011 -  You can read the post here.  Throughout the week, I got my A3 pad out myself and answered every single question.  It took a couple of hours to finish, but it gave me a great way to reflect on the year I'd just had! You can see all my brainstorms to the left.

Some of my overall reflections and themes from my answers were:

- Focus on the activities (rituals) that enable me to do my best work such as healthy eating, regular movement, meditation, journalling, reading and being around people who inspire me.

- Focus on activities that inspire me to be my best.  These included regular personal development study, cultural/arts activities such as reading, watching dance and drama, and spending more time in natural environments.

- To write a blog about revolutionary lives, I must seek to live a revolutionary life myself - therefore I must always challenge myself, walk the talk and practice what I preach.  (few cliches there - sorry!)

- I am usually most happy when I am putting into practice my own strengths - 1. Zest, Enthusiasm and Energy, 2. Gratitude, 3. Leadership, 4. Creativity, Originality and Ingenuity and 5. Hope, Optimism and Future-Mindedness.

- I've got a lot to be grateful in my life!

I've also had some time to think about what questions I should ask myself to get ready for 2012.  They are not all your typical planning type questions, but I thought they were important!  Here they are: 

10 Questions to Get Ready for 2012

1. How will I step into the highest version of myself next year?

2. Describe my ideal day, week, year for next year?

3. How will I best utilise my strengths next year?

4. How will I take care of myself? What's my health and wellbeing plan for next year?

5. What rituals will be most important for me to practice next year?

6. How will I give back to my community next year?

7. What's my learning plan for next year?

8. What relationships do I want to foster further next year?

9. How will I keep inspired and inspire others next year?

10.  What amazing life adventures do I want to do next year?

Can you think of any others? 

Again, I think I will have a bit of fun answering these!  Are you willing to give them a go?
