Happy New Year!
We’re beginning a new year today, January 1, 2009, if you follow the Gregorian calendar. The Julian calendar begins 13 days later, and the Chinese Yi Chou, the year of the Ox, begins on Jan. 26, 2009. These are not all of the “New Years Days” to be celebrated during 2009, but these three points in time represent a new beginning for a large part of the world’s people.
A New Year is often a good time to reflect on the events and priorities of the last year, and it’s a time when people call on themselves to make new, positive changes. While new years’ resolutions are often more of a good intent than an ongoing reality, it’s still an outstanding time to review and renew our priorities.
Coaching moment: Instead of making a resolution that might require you to be a different person, why not instead take one single action that makes your world a better place? It might be cleaning off a table, writing a small check to a charity that does work you wish you had time for, or turning off the computer for a day. (No, the world won’t stop while you’re away.) You can return to being yourself later or tomorrow with a good feeling!
