It has worked well for me and I hope you find it helpful.

1. Choose 5 goals for the year and write them down. This makes the goals tangible and creates momentum.

2. Choose a theme for 2010. Have you noticed that most conferences have themes that are reinforced throughout the conference? Often when you leave the conference, you may not remember individual speakers, but you will remember the theme, such as “expertise to the power of eloquence” (a theme from a conference I attended many years ago). Themes work. Whatever is consistently repeated will find its way into your everyday life.

3. Choose a theme song. Find a song that makes you smile and has uplifting lyrics. Post the lyrics nearby and listen to the song regularly.

You are welcome to download an example of my2010 motivational material. If you find it helpful, join the recently developed dr. thea facebook fan page and post a photo of yourself with the goal sheet. On April 26th, I will randomly select 1 of the individuals who has posted a photo to receive a bouquet of spring flowers.
