As the end of the year approaches, lots of people take the opportunity to review where they are, where they've been, and where they hope to go in the future. Some people dream of realizing new goals or simply doing what it takes to stay on track. What about you? How do you feel about your recent choices and behaviors? Which valuable lessons have you learned? What would you do differently next time around?

Perhaps you're you the kind of person who made plans this past year and didn't follow through? You may have given up on your goals, been indecisive or, changed directions. Maybe you did accomplish meaningful things and already think about what's on the horizon? No matter what, its useful to periodically review your life. You can evolve to discern whether you're moving in more or less desirable directions.

1) Ground yourself. Whatever you sense you have or haven't accomplished, its the perfect time to focus your energy and attention on some recognizable reference point. If you feel confused or forgetful, you can learn to balance your body and spirit. All you have to do is figure out where you are and where you'll go from here. It will help to connect with nature and eat healthy food to increase your vitality.

2) Rest assured. Although you may be uncertain about how you'll complete the tasks you set out for yourself, you can nurture faith that you will be guided every step of the way. As you learn that its not about you per say, but your relationship with everything, then its easier to reframe a sense of progress in 'the big picture.'

3) Centre on feelings of joy. Let's say you're unsure what to do. You may not have even begun thinking of resolutions. No worries! Start by focusing on the ' now.' Make choices that enable you to feel good. Permit your positive feelings to orient your compass. Seek ways you can bring more joy into your life and enrich others.
