Perfectly Aligned? Neither Am I
Perfect Alignment is for Yoga Masters, Not You
And, it's not really a requirement for them either...
Last week we got clear about your wins and wishes - how'd that reflection go? Now let's talk about alignment (don't worry, no yoga required!). Let's explore what supported your success this year and what you need in your corner for 2025.
Reflection on 2024: Finding Your Flow
I couldn't resist another yoga reference😉. Let's look at what actually helped you this year (and what might have thrown you off your game):
Who were your MVPs this year - the people who had your back?
Which resources or tools made you think "How did I live without this?"
What routines or habits really worked for you?
Where did you feel like you were swimming upstream? (It's okay - we all have those moments!)
Quick Tip: Make a "More of This/Less of That" list. Simple columns, honest thoughts. Sometimes seeing it on paper makes all the difference!
Vision for 2025: Building Your Support System
Time to think about setting yourself up for success! No need to figure it all out now - just start mapping your ideal support system:
What kind of accountability actually energizes you? (Maybe it's a monthly coffee date with a mentor, or a weekly check-in with your mastermind group)
Which relationships would you like to strengthen or develop?
What new resources or learning opportunities are calling your name?
Where could you use some extra support to make your goals reality?
💡 Try This: Pick your "Power Three" - identify three key supports you want to have in place by March 2025. Maybe it's a mentor, a new skill, and a better morning routine. Whatever combination works for YOU!
CARE AI Prompt of the Week: ALIGN
A couple of hot tips about using an AI tool like Claude.ai or Pi.ai as a brainstorming partner for this work:
Be Honest. It's AI. There's no judgment. If something sucked, say so.
If it feels too formal in the response, ask it to be more casual, like talking with a close friend.
The magic is in the back and forth. Keep asking questions as they pop up. No filter.
"Let's explore how I can better align my resources and support for 2025. I'll share 2-3 goals I'm considering, and I'd like you to help me think through what I might need to achieve them. Please consider things like: skills, relationships, tools, and habits. Ask me exploratory questions about each goal, then suggest potential resources or support systems I might not have considered. Here are my goals: [add your goals here]"
Next: Get ready for "R" in CARE - Reflect. We'll explore how to turn your experiences into wisdom (and yes, we'll keep it practical and fun!).
Here's to having all the right support in all the right places! You've got this!
