Reflecting and Celebrating

When creating our online course, one of the mini-lessons is on reflecting and celebrating. When I first started down my goal-setting journey, I set monthly goals. Looking back, it was crazy. I was setting goals like a mad man. The problem was I eventually burnt out. I do not like to think I ever failed. My coach, Coach Pat, says, “I NEVER lose. I either WIN, or I LEARN.” It is difficult to learn if I am consistently moving. There needs to be time to sit quietly, be still, and ensure that continuous improvement is happening.

Here are the questions I ask myself and actions I take after each goal-setting cycle with the GoCycle Goal Setting System.

Personal Reflection;

• Am I using my time wisely?
• Am I taking anything for granted?
• Am I employing a healthy perspective?
• Am I focusing on my circle of influence?
• Am I waking up in the morning ready to take on the day?
• Am I reviewing my day in the evening?

Goal Reflection;

• Am I checking my goals weekly?
• Did I achieve my goals?
• Where did I miss the target?
• What interventions do I need?
• Did I chase shiny objects?
• What small changes do I need to make for the next 45-day cycle?

Celebrations;

• Share the news with my friends, family, and colleagues.
• Give myself a week off of goals setting. I am on a journey. Enjoy the ride. One week off will not kill me!
• Sleep. Give myself the reward of rest. 
• Thank everyone who supported me.
• Share my achievements on social media.
• Treat yourself! Buy something.

I dust myself off with a feather. I can, at times, be very hard on myself. Usually driven by different forms of fear, it can be counterproductive. I can honestly say I am always doing my best. Do I miss the target sometimes? Of course, I am human. I am very fortunate to have outstanding individuals and teams that support my continued growth as a person and a professional. I am very blessed. Dust yourself off, take a break from the continuous improvement cycle, recharge, and get back at it!
