Politically Correct Holiday Greeting
 
From Ian Howard
 
I wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting to readers of this blog, but as you may be aware it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyers, and on their advice I wish to send you the following:
 
 
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the summer solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
 
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Australia great (not to imply that Australia is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only " Australia " in the southern hemisphere) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.
 
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting the following terms: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
 
Disclaimer: no trees were harmed in the sending of this message however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

Acknowledge your 2009 Successes

Acknowledge and Appreciate Yourself TODAY!

By Ian Howard

Inspired by Jack Canfield "Success Principles" and Frank Kern

With 2009 coming to a close, it's time to think back over the past 12 months to acknowledge and appreciate yourself for everything you've achieved or accomplished throughout the past year.

Are you able to recall your successes as well as your failures?

A human beings we often under-appreciate the little things we accomplish every day. And yet recall in detail all the times we failed or made mistakes. That's because the brain remembers events more easily when they're accompanied by strong emotions, and we fabricate a story around the event to protect ourselves in the future.

Take a moment to reflect, you might recall, losing some weight, completing a 5k or 10k walk for charity, winning an award, or getting a new job or promotion?

Make sure you include in your successes, how your relationship with your partner or spouse has grown, or you completed one amicably, quality time spent with your kids, got your list of 'Things to Do' complete, got acknowledged at work, or paid off a credit card? Allow your mind to recall everything.

Acknowledge yourself and then request that someone else acknowledges you! Ask them what they would like to be acknowledged for also.

Build your self-esteem by recalling ALL the ways you have succeeded and your brain will be filled with images of you making your achievements happen again and again. Accept the mistakes and failures as they happened, but that does not make you a failure and you won't take risks next time an opportunity to succeed come along.

The more you acknowledge your past successes, the more confident you become in taking on and successfully accomplishing new ones.

Take some time to write your 2009 achievements down.

Once the thought process starts, jot them down and start seeing as successful person you are who can continue to achieve great things. 
The challenge is for you to list 10, then 50 or more of your 2009 successes.

Start when you with your recollections of your 2009 New Years resolutions and think of all your achievements since then. Don't just pick the big things, write down all the things you have taken for granted. Thinks like, learning to ride a bike, making a speech, getting your first or new job, starting your own business, or leading a successful project.

Surround yourself with Great people and reminders of your successes.

Research shows us that what you see in your environment and the people you mix with has a psychological impact on your moods, your attitudes, and your behavior. The environment you choose has a great deal of influence over you. And believe it or not: You have almost total control over your choice of environment.

Surround yourself with pictures, articles, trophies, awards and other symbols of your years achievements. Make a special place – a special shelf, wall or section of your home or office that you frequent every day and fill it with your success symbols.

This will have a powerful effect on your subconscious mind and will subtly remind you that you are someone who is a success in life!

Make sure your children successes are also proudly displayed with your success symbols as well.

People like to be around those who have a healthy self-esteem and who are achieving their goals. Commit to acknowledging your achievements and your brain will begin to tell you the truth… that anything is possible and you can do ANYTHING!

Taking just 30 minutes to complete this activity then take another 30 minutes to watch this video by Frank Kern 

Then start to set out your clear cut goals for what you are entitled to achieve in 2010.  This simple exercise will become your positive springboard into 2010 for even more successes.
