364 days gone, one day of 2014 left. Less than 1% of the year left. It’s not too late to do something really valuable that just might set you up for a great 2015.

This is a very powerful reflective exercise that I do with many of my clients who are striving to be the best they can be. It should take no more than 15 minutes. It will set up a great platform for you to launch into 2015.

What are you grateful for? Take an A4 sheet of paper. Write ‘What I am grateful for’ in the centre. Around it list the things in your life that you are grateful for. Don’t think too hard about it, just write.

Family, friends, health, work, living in Australia, opportunities, freedom, safety, your financial position, your own skills and abilities.

Most people who do the exercise are amazed at just how many good things they have in their lives. They also realise that they don’t stop to reflect and be thankful for what they have.

Why not take the task just one more step and say “thank you” to the people around you. Let them know that you are grateful for them.
