Have You Created Your Yearly Theme?

Small Business Coach Strategist Maria Marsala by Maria Marsala

Summary: Themes can make your year fun and focused. They're much easier to create or use and they last much longer than list of resolutions.

 

Article: Have You Created Your Yearly Themes Yet?

New Year's resolutions don't last long, do they? Instead, consider creating a theme to help keep you focused throughout the year.

Themes can be uplifting. Have you ever given a birthday party and asked people to bring gifts with a "garden" or "fishing" theme? I know someone who asked people to bring something they made themselves! What a wonderful idea! To actually get what you want at your party!

A theme can help you get what you want out of life, too. Anyone who is evolving can be helped considerably by having a terrific support network. Well, themes are part of a person's support structure, the part that comes from the inside. When you create a theme for the year (or month, or quarter), you will be automatically pushed forward toward your goals. Why? Your theme helps keep you focused by providing you with a starting point during your decision making process. So important are themes, that creating one is the first of 24 steps towards creating a strong "Personal Foundation," a program that many coaches offer their clients.

Themes can be a few words or even one word to describe what you want to accomplish for the year. What's important is, once created, it inspires you into action and is easy to remember. I recommend that you write your theme on index cards and place them strategically around your home and office. A theme located near your mirror or designed on a poster for your office is a quick reminder of what you want to manifest.

Some examples of personal themes are...

  • Forgive.
  • I'm worth it!
  • Financial freedom here I come!
  • Move'n on.
  • Have fun, fun, fun in all I do!
  • Put down roots.
  • Be present, present be.
  • Be a successful me.
  • Big leaps of faith
  • Action, action, action
  • Enjoying all I have

Examples of business themes are...

  • Do it or dump it.
  • Time is valuable.
  • Prosperity first.
  • Move'n on.
  • No more Lone Ranger.
  • Ask for help, even when you don't need it.
  • Free is not me.

Right now is a great time to create your yearly themes for the next year.
