Well Christmas 2010 has been and gone, 2011 is almost upon us but not quite here yet...so what of the "Inbetween" time?
It's a bit of a no-man's land, between the old and the new. Maybe for some, a couple of days back at work, a couple of days that may feel neither here nor there.
So today I wondered.....How can you make the "Inbetween" time more meaningful ?
Well my suggestion would be to take the time to relax , retreat and indulge in some revision..... yes that's right, revision!
But I'm not a student I hear you cry!
Well let me clarify that, we are all infact students, in this university I call life. And just like all students, in order to recall just what we've learnt or are learning we need to take time to review and revise.
So what a perfect time...this " Inbetween" time, to do a little revision?
To take a look at just what we've learnt and retained in 2010, in readiness for the new learning we will undertake in 2011.
There is no ‘right way’ to revise, as long as the method you choose enables you to gain a solid grasp of key facts of what you've learnt and consolidate your knowledge.
I find it helpful to use a feng shui bagua map to help consider all areas of my life, I use this method in my workshops too!
In order to truly review your year you will need to allow yourself time, space and contemplation. You will need to ask yourself quality questions and be prepared to answer them honestly and fully.
You can of course use your own revision method and questions, but I thought it may be helpful to start you off .......
Here are some questions you may wish to consider in your revision of 2010:
What has been my high point?
What has been my darkest hour?
What can I learn from these?
What have a started?
What have I finished?
What can I learn from this?
What will I repeat in 2011?
What will I stop doing in 2011?
What do I need to change in order to make this happen?
What has frustrated me in 2010?
What has inspired me to action in 2010?
What can I learn from this?
What have i loved most in 2010?
What has made me smile most in 2010?
How can I have more of this in 2011?
What is my biggest wish for 2011?
What steps can I take now towards it?
The list of questions could be endless.....These are just some questions that may just get you started on your revision. Making use of this "Inbetween" time really is worth the effort,a chance to recap before embarking on 2011.
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Happy revising!
Until next time,
Make every "Inbetween" moment count!
