An Exercise for the New Year
Jan 8th, 2014As we start 2014, I encourage each of you to do a self-evaluation using the 8 functions to assess our performance in 2013, validate what’s important for 2014, and align our activities for 2014 to keep us focused on what is important. With this in mind, I want to repeat an exercise that I’ve shared before.
Please take the time to answer the following questions, then use your answers to tweak your resolutions for the year.
- What is really, really important to you? (This question is designed to engage introverted feeling.)
- What are you currently doing that supports what is important to you? (This question is designed to engage extraverted sensation.)
- What have you been doing that supported what is important to you? (This question is designed to engage introverted sensation.)
- What might you do to support what is important to you? (This question is designed to engage extraverted intuition.)
- Are your activities really supportive of your accomplishing what is important to you? (This question is designed to engage introverted intuition.)
- What must you be doing to accomplish what is important to you? (This question is designed to engage extraverted thinking.)
- How does what you need to be doing fit into everything else you are doing? (This question is designed to engage introverted thinking.)
- How do these activities affect the other people in your life? (This question is designed to engage extraverted feeling.)
I also encourage you to review these questions each quarter or more frequently as a way to realign your plans so you achieve what’s important to you.
May you have a blessed New Year.
