There is no right way or wrong way to use this worksheet. The most important thing is finding inspiration to move towards your goals. You can use this worksheet for personal things: relationships, achieving optimal health, traveling the world or finally getting around to writing the book you’ve always wanted! This worksheet can also be used for business goals. I’ve used it for everything from hiring new employees to getting a book contract. It is an all-purpose tool!

The Zen Ten

Intuitive Insight into your inner inventory starts by way of the list! Introducing: The Zen Ten! This is an interactive meditation beginning with getting down on paper 10 things you would like to see happen in your life in 2017. This could be anything from running a 5k to finding more time for yourself. Throughout this worksheet, you’ll be writing down ideas, priming the muscle of your brain. I invite you first to use the Zen Ten for the New Year and then to incorporate it into daily life. Write out a list of any 10 Things every day to get the creative centers of your brain flowing! These lists can be about anything: 10 Career Ideas! 10 Places to Travel! 10 Things to Google! 10 Hobbies to Explore! Bring your mind to focused, list-making meditation, opening yourself to the habit of being a fountain of ideas.

Clear the Clogs

Everything in life from what we eat to what we say and do will either cleanse or clog us. If I eat an apple will it cleanse or clog me? *Cleanse* Listening to my friend complain for an hour about the same things she has always complained about, will it cleanse or clog me? *Clog* If I go back for a 3rd cup of coffee, will it cleanse or… (maybe we shouldn’t go there.) You get the idea! Inevitably, there are things in our lives that are clogs. By eliminating 8 out of 10 clogs, we can drastically increase our wellbeing. What is still hanging around from last year that you do not want to clog up 2017? Write down as many clogs as you can think of in each area of your life.

Non-Negotiables = Self Care

When you’re busy, it’s easy to forget (or put off) taking care of yourself. Selfcare is of utmost importance. If you’re not taking proper care of yourself, how can you care for others? Life is this simple. It isn’t about being selfish. These are necessary things you can indulge in without guilt. These are the gifts we are committed to giving ourselves like a bubble bath, reading a book, or going to yoga. Write each of your non-negotiables in a circle. Even add more circles! Once you’ve picked a couple, make a commitment to yourself to do at least one per week.

Instructions Page 2: Unlock the Power of Your Mind

In your mind is a constant stream of information flowing in from your senses, mental lists and brain babble, a running commentary on all you experience. You carry this around with you all the time, which takes up a lot of space and energy in your mind! Clutter in your mind has a ripple effect, causing clutter throughout your life. Your mind is precious real-estate. Your very own fertile ground to plant the seeds of positivity and action. Let’s create the space to let you focus on your dreams! Let’s get the clutter out of our mind and create some space. We’ll call these Listables. Give your brain something to snack on! Here are 3 lists to make, to bring your brain into fertile focus: A List - Write on the A lines all of your worries and concerns that you can’t do anything about. B List – Write on the B lines all of your worries and concerns that you can do something about right now like schedule an appointment, clean the garage or finish a project. These are the things on your mental to-do list. C List – Write on the C lines all of your needs, hopes, and desires which have yet to be fulfilled. Listables – Part 2

A List – Find a picture you like from a magazine, cut it out and cover the complete A list! Go on, I mean it! There’s nothing to be done about these things. You’ve probably been thinking over most of them for way too long. Now is your time to let them all go! Feel that relief, that freedom! Take a deep breath in, slowly let it out and let them go. Remember, they are taking up valuable realestate in your mind. Might as well cover them up with something you do like to think about! B List – Make a checklist of things you can do to eliminate this list right away. Take some action every day to check them off the list as soon as possible! This is the easy stuff! Make that doctor’s appointment or clean out the garage! Finish the work project that’s just been hanging around your mind forever. Just think about how unburdened you’ll feel after taking care of these things! This is great self-care and they are easy wins! C List – Hello, C List! Now, this is the fun part! Now that you’ve created the space to focus on your hopes and dreams, brainstorm ways to take one step, no matter how large or small, each day, towards them. It doesn’t matter how wacky the idea sounds. Just write it down in the box. If you want to travel the world, start writing down your list of destinations. Take a class, research online, read a book, talk to an expert! Anything that will get you just a little bit closer to the goal. Take action every day and you’ll be there in no time.

One Page Action Plan

Detail how to do each of the 6 specific things from the list above in two or three sentences. Example: Research shops for rent/sale in high traffic areas. Look for a place with a great store front and room in the back for working on flower arrangements. Find out what licenses will be needed to run a business. Apply for any licenses or certifications that will help legitimize the business. Research wholesale prices for flowers. Find a retailer with good pricing and quick and reliable delivery to my area. At the end of the exercise, you should have a workable plan of how to bring your vision to life. If you need more detail, consider breaking out each of your steps in the boxes into a new worksheet, with each step as the new vision.
