This is one of those months that could very easily get stressful and become a GIANT headache. This is also one of those years where some might feel the pinch more strongly than others, but don't despair! Remember to stop and review 2008 from a place of detachment and observation...avoid the emotional aspect of it all just for now so you can learn something from all that you've experienced. This is a time to recognise how far you've come over these last 12 months, and whether the resolutions were kept or not, you are now in a great position to review things and figure out how to approach 2009 in a better way. Go visit December - the month to be grateful and although it might be a tough month for some, be kind to yourself and celebrate one small thing (even if it is the fact you got the Brazil nut in the box of Roses!!..)

October
So we are now into October...not leaving much time until the end of the year is it? From the 1st Oct there are 92 days until the end of the year...you may see this as a little bit of a panic what with Christmas shoved in there to boot, but lets' look at it in a different way. What if, for just one moment, we considered this as a great opportunity to hit the last days til the end of 2008 with some serious ACTION. What if we just put down one thing we'd really like to get done by the end of the year, and start working towards it. Sounds stressful I hear you say?...depends on how you look at it!...so go visit my blog to find out how to make the most of the remaining 92 DAYS!!! Think of how happy you'd be starting 2009! 92 Days and counting for getting something done link

July
Words, words, words...choose them wisely for July is a good way to take stock of everything and examine how you speak to yourself so click on the link above and get started! I've caught myself many times starting the chiding conversation about this that and the other - but it hasn't gotten me anywhere and sure didn't inspire me to get up and take action! This is a good month to take stock of how your self talk is doing, and whether it is working a charm or having a grand ol time puttin you down. Aim to do this during the warmer evenings in the garden...I know our summer isn't exactly providing the opportunities here but we'll hold out and hope for a few decent days and nights!!
June
Look at the great work you're doing!

May
Declutter to get your energy up! Summer is on its way, even if the weather outside indicates otherwise! May is a great month to start preparing for the feel good vibes of an approaching sun filled season (not always sun filled, I know!). Decluttering is a great way to release the energy getting stuck in your life, so starting with your home is always a good start! Keeping the enthusiasm for goals that you began in January can be difficult, and it is important to refocus as often as possible to gain clarity on whether the goals are being worked towards, are not really what you wanted or are long term and need constant attention...so visit my blog to find out more on the importance of decluttering! http://newleafcoaching.blogspot.com

March
Are Your Goals working for you?Now is the time we really check out how we've been doing and celebrate the things we have achieved on our journey so far. We had a chance to go back in February and see if we were happy with our direction. For March we now check if our heart is in the goal and if it is really something we have passion for. Most importantly we celebrate the stuff we got done! Visit http://newleafcoaching.blogspot.com
February
Spring is nearly here! Most people consider March as the start of Spring...but the reality is that 1st February is the official start of Spring! Good news isn't it? At this point you've probably forgotten about your goals, can't remember what you said you'd give up and more than likely you've caved in and dropped the diet. The start of spring is a great opportunity to start afresh - and review what has been happening over the month of January. It is a great chance to see what worked for you, and what didn't work...and more importantly you can change the direction you're going in for the rest of the year so you acheive what you want. So to start February with a spring in your step visit the link and get some tips http://newleafcoaching.blogspot.com/2008/01/spring-clean-your-life.html
