This month's note will be short, as I'm</div> <div> certain you're just as busy as I am.</div> <bR> <div> This issue continues where last month's issue left</div> <div> off- we're talking about ways to expand your range</div> <div> so you can get more joy, happiness, and living</div> <div> out of your life.</div> <bR> <div> I hope you enjoy it, and my best wishes for a</div> <div> joyful & happy holiday season.</div> <bR> <div> See you next month!</div> <bR> <div> Warmly,</div> <div> Rachna</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Expanding Your Range Part II</div> <div> Dr. Rachna D. Jain</div> <div> (c) 2004 All Rights in All Media Reserved</div> <bR> <div> Last month, we started talking about the idea of</div> <div> expanding your range in order to get "big enough" to</div> <div> integrate your biggest dreams into your lives. I asked</div> <div> you to take a few minutes and jot down your goals for</div> <div> the first quarter of 2005, in at least four areas of</div> <div> your life (such as health, business/career,</div> <div> relationships, free time, social life, spirituality).</div> <div> If you haven't done this, stop here and do this first,</div> <div> please - you'll get much more out of this article if</div> <div> you do.</div> <bR> <div> So now, you have at least four goals for the first</div> <div> quarter of 2005. When you look at them do you feel</div> <div> inspired and excited? These goals should jazz you up</div> <div> and maybe even feel a little scary. (This is how you</div> <div> can know the goals are big enough).</div> <bR> <div> Next, jot down all the reasons you haven't attained</div> <div> these goals yet. Aim to list reasons that are personal</div> <div> to you (I haven't had support, I don't think I'm smart</div> <div> enough, I want too much). Then, taking the list of</div> <div> personal reasons, start jotting down next to them,</div> <div> what actions you'd take if you wanted to expand your</div> <div> range (i.e. get "bigger" in this area). So let's take</div> <div> an example, such as health:</div> <bR> <div> Goal: To focus on healthy eating and exercise.</div> <bR> <div> Why I haven't yet achieved this yet:</div> <bR> <div> Too busy, don't know what to do, exercise is boring,</div> <div> hate eating diet food.</div> <bR> <div> What I could do if I really wanted to meet this goal:</div> <bR> <div> -Leave work early and go straight to the gym.</div> <div> -Get a nutritional/exercise consultation.</div> <div> -Find a new sport or activity.</div> <div> -Take some cooking lessons to eat well without eating</div> <div> diet food.</div> <bR> <div> Any of these actions will help you begin to expand</div> <div> your life so you can make room for this goal.</div> <bR> <div> Let's take another example:</div> <bR> <div> Goal: To become more valuable to my company.</div> <bR> <div> Why I haven't achieved this yet:</div> <bR> <div> My job is boring, I don't like my boss, don't know</div> <div> what to do, can't afford to go back to school.</div> <bR> <div> What I could do if I really wanted to meet this goal:</div> <bR> <div> -Try to enrich or liven up my job.</div> <div> -Find traits to appreciate in my boss or get an</div> <div> outside mentor.</div> <div> -Talk to others about how they did it.</div> <div> -Look into adult learning programs or offers from my</div> <div> company's human resources department.</div> <bR> <div> Expanding your range is all about finding small,</div> <div> doable actions which bring you closer to your desired</div> <div> goals. With each action you take, you most likely will</div> <div> feel interested and enthusiastic, and the next step</div> <div> will become easier, and so on.</div> <bR> <div> So if you're ready to make the most of 2005, mark out</div> <div> a strategy to reach your goals, and then start taking</div> <div> our action. In putting forth effort to expand your</div> <div> range, you'll be on your way to living a happier and</div> <div> more fulfilling life.</div> <bR> <div> Happy Holidays and See you in 2005!</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Opportunities & Resources</div> <bR> <div> Stay tuned for exciting releases in 2005.</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <bR> <div> Copyright by Rachna D.
