009.   This is a meaty episode so you might want to listen to this one when you have a pen and paper handy.  Listening to this after january 1st?  Who cares?  It’s never too late to work on your goals for the year.  There is no perfect start date. 

• REFLECTION - start with reflection - what do you want more of?  Less of?
• WHERE ARE YOU NOW?  Look at the main pillars of life and rate where you are right now in those areas.  1 is not satisfied at all, 10 is it couldn’t get any better.  this a zero judgment zone.  Then pick up to 3 areas you’d like to focus on in 2020.  Write them down.  
• How do you want to FEEL at the end of 2020?  We start with the WHY you are choosing the goals or the habits you are choosing.  And i believe that if you dig down to  the deepest meaning of the WHY, it is just an emotion that you want to feel.  So, i try to come up with 5 feelings that you deeply want to feel at the end of each day, each month,  the year.  
• Once you have your list of 5 feelings, imagine a person who feels that way.  Maybe it’s future you, maybe it’s someone that you look up to.  If you are going to be a person who experiences these feelings, what thing are you doing to make that happen. Make a brainstorm of all the thigns that come to mind that are actins or results that you would be doing if you were feeling that way.  
• WORD OF THE YEAR: Some people also like to choose a word of the year or a phrase of the year.
• BRAINSTORM L Now you’re going to brainstorm a list of possible goals for 2020. Write  down alll the things you can think of that you think would be a cool goal.  Don’t worry about HOW you will do it, don’t worry about if you have the time or the money or the skills or the emotional capacity to do them.  
• CHOOSE GOALS::  Let’s pick a few goals that will get you closer to where you want to be at the end of the year.  Take your list of feelings, your word of the year and the 3 life pillars that you want to focus on and you’re going to make up to 7 goals for 2020.  You want each goal to be getting you closer to that list of feelings, you want it to improve at least one of the 3 life pillars you’re focusing on, and you want it to align with your word of the year.  You also want to make sure you’re not choosing too many big, giant goals at one time.  You want to set yourself up for success here.  Write them down.  You are already ahead of the game.  Writing down your goals makes them more powerful. 
• When choosing your goals, pick what works for you.  Not what you think is right or what someone else would approve of.  This is your life.  This is your day.  Live it for you.  When you
