Happy New Year From Cheryl Merchant, MA, LLPC

WELCOME 2007!

It's Your Turn

Cheryl says, "This is the year of Self-Empowerment. Define yourself by answering these questions: Who am I? (Think of every dimension of who you are.) Why was I born? What is my purpose in life? Am I doing what I love or hating what I do? Write a Personal Vision Statement. According to Heathfield (2006) your vision statement is a vision for your future. Your vision statement is a map for your life to direct you daily and when you make decisions about your life. Write down ten things that you enjoy doing the most and without them your life would feel incomplete. Next write down three things that you must do daily to feel complete. Finally, write down your five most important values. Now you are ready to write your vision statement. Write in first person and make statements about the future you hope to achieve. Write the statements as if you are already making them happen in your life. In addition to Heathfield's suggestions, I suggest that you write down two goals: 1 Short-Term and 1 Long Term. Be specific, define a date, and move forward with the execution of your plan. Enjoy the new year and thanks again for your support."
