New Company, New Website – Hello 2017!

New Company, New Website – Hello 2017!

A bit late for a Happy New Year greeting, but I’m kicking off my new company, MWS Executive Coaching and my new website, so I wanted to wish you all a fabulous 2017!!   May the year bring you love, laughter, friendship, challenge and abundant gratitude!!

As I reflect back on 2016, I have so much to be grateful for.  A great family, wonderful friends, like long colleagues and clients that give me such meaning and purpose and who accept my thoughts, support and guidance.

When I think about a New Year’s resolution for 2017, it feels amazingly daunting.  Such pressure!  Like giving up candy for Lent back in the day.   What if I fail?   Then what do I do?  According to the Huffington Post, only 8% of people actually keep their New Year’s resolutions.  Not very promising statistics.

A resolution sets firm, hard decisions to do or not do something.  Dr. Roberta Anding from Baylor College of Medicine has a different approach.  She says instead of a firm, hard decision for January 1, 2017, why not do a “reset”; an opportunity to “set again” or set your habits differently.

I LIKE IT!  (It’s an opportunity to evaluate every day… if I need to.  And some days, I just might need to.)

So here are some of my “resets for 2017” taken from daringtolivefully.com:

• Play
• Read more books
• Be more grateful (I don’t think one can ever be too grateful!)
• Become more confident… not over-confident … but confident
• Increase your Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
• Start a blog (How about that?)

Some of these I will be wildly successful at, and some I will, no doubt, have to “reset” from time to time.  But my 2017 “resets” show up as a blank notebook.  I get to use it however I choose.  The pages are simply waiting to be filled.

So, let me ask you… What’s your “reset” for 2017?
