Your 2013 Surprises

 

Dear ,

Please feel free to forward "Marvelous Mondays" to others who will enjoy it.

 

 SURPRISES

 

A surprise is something that happens suddenly or unexpectedly. We typically label surprises very quickly as either "good" for us or "not so good" for us. We have all had surprises in 2013. So let's reflect. What were your 2013 surprises? How did you respond or did you react? 

 

EXERCISE
  1. Look at 2013 and write down a few words to describe any surprises in any of these areas
  • Your primary relationships
  • Your career
  • Your finances
  • Your health
  • Your fitness
  • Your goals
  • Your sense of balance
  • Your spiritual life 

    2.   Now write down:

  • How you dealt with the surprises  
  • How do you feel about those surprises 
  • What you have you learned from the surprises

    3.   Hopefully we grew this year, especially from what we labeled the "Not So Good" surprises.

 I really want to hear what you learned from your 2013 surprises. If you are not sure what you learned from the surprises and how to use this as another stepping stone to success, I am available for coaching assistance.
