This year, I’m taking the advice of author Steve Shapiro and establishing a theme for the year instead of list of resolutions. Steve is the author of Goal-Free Living and estimates that only 8 percent of Americans achieve their resolutions. He advocates choosing a one-word theme instead.
“Resolutions are things to do,” says Steve. “Themes are a way to be.”
Examples of themes are:
- Service
- Flow
- Flexibility
- Health
- Confidence
- Travel
- Self-expression
- Harmony
The year 2010 was one of the most challenging of my life, so for me, the theme for 2011 is “joy.” For my son, it’s “fitness.” What’s your theme for 2011?
