Simple Isn’t Always Easy

Here is the first blog post for 2015 and therefore the annual Name Your Year event you have all been waiting for!

Happy New Year Everyone!!

It is that time of year again, the beginning, where we all think of cleaning the slate, working out our direction and setting goals. The simple Name Your Year exercise is a challenge which gives a starting point and acts as a reminder throughout the year if you need to give yourself a little ‘behind the door talk’ to get back on track.

Naming Your Year is perhaps more flexible than the tradition of New Years Resolutions and quicker than composing a ‘To Do’ list (which personally fits in perfectly with this year’s theme).

Are you ready to put pen to paper, fingers to keyboard and Name Your Year for 2015?

Allow me to start the ball rolling,

This year I Name My Year …

2015 – Less Is More

Accumulating Less Stuff
Digesting Less Preservatives
Using Less Chemicals
Generating Less Waste

The intention this year is to develop positive habits and create an everyday life filled with…

More Experiences
More Healthier Body
More Safer Home
More Sustainable Future

This is by no means stopping the focus of Striving For Balance which began during 2014, in fact, I suspect that is going to be my personal life long quest. The intention is 2015 will be a positive continuation along our Family’s overall journey of living a Happy, Healthy, Sustainable Life.

Welcome to those who are new to this tradition. It is so great to have those of you who are new to this blog here to join our growing community. You may like to take a moment to visit previous posts written on this annual exercise here and here before joining in the most important part of this process – documenting your 2015 focus in the comment section below.

Name Your Year Recap

Here is a recap exercise for those of you who participated in Naming Your Year last year.

Before you write up this years ‘focus’ you may wish to revisit last years statement in the bottom of last years post. Take a moment to think back over any lessons learnt throughout your year then come back and we’ll work on setting this year’s focus.

Pin For Later

I’m not going to get all ‘Motivational Speaker’ on you but what I will say is, there is a lot of positives to be gained from writing intentions down. The first one is the fact you can re-read at later stages, reflect on your achievements and be reminded about things which may need a little bit of extra attention.

So how did you go with last years focus?

We cannot predict what the future holds but each year we can work towards improvements – it is how we take positive steps forward.

Can’t wait to read your inspirations this year – who is going to be first!!
