Bask in your Accomplishments Before Climbing Again
by Shann on Dec.22, 2008, under Luscious Living
My friend and I were talking about our businesses and glossed over our accomplishments in 2008.
We heartily began sharing our new & improved business strategies for 2009. To be more focused, more disciplined, better at this, smarter at that
… blah, blah, blah.
Then a peculiar notion dawned on me.
Neither of us had allowed ourselves to bask in the glow of all that IS.
Even though we are climbing into thin air with a few hundred feet left to reach the summit.
(A hell of a lot to be jazzed about)
and yet …
We let the laws of silly masochistic human madness take our last breath of oxygen and kick our asses back down to base camp.
What is that all about?
If you have ever felt this way or recognize this pattern in yourself – check this out.
I dare you to bask in YOUR greatness.
Grab a pad of paper and begin writing your achievements for 2008.
Start with your personal list followed by your professional list.
Every positive experience counts. Often it is one tiny moment of clarity bringing the greatest rewards.
My abbreviated list includes:
Personal
Being more mindful with my family
Allowing my daughter to be a little kid
Taking care of ME
Remembering daily positive self talk
Earning my Yoga Teaching Certification

What does your list look like?
Surprised?
I bet you did a heck of a lot more than you think you did.
Before mapping your route, strapping on your crampons and hiring a Sherpa for your great Climb of 2009 …
Allow some time to
BASK IN YOUR GREATNESS
You deserve it!
We’ll get into your plans and goals next time around.
