New Years is a time that we look back at the year that’s gone and forward to a blank canvas of the year ahead, deciding what we can create upon it. It’s time of reflection, pondering and weighing up of how effective our strategies have been, when reviewed with the wonder of hindsight, which is always 20/20.

The time between Christmas and January 1st, is a magical time of growth, when we can shift our perspective, making changes to herald new opportunities and personal satisfaction for the coming year and allow for greater creativity and growth in our chosen direction.

This year is exciting for me personally because of all the new directions we are taking with Aspirience. I personally haven’t made a New Year’s resolution in a long time. I believe if you put your mind to doing or getting something done, most likely, it will happen. But we have to start somewhere and it begins with a resolution.

For those contemplating and pondering new initiatives I looked up the Top Ten New Year’s Resolutions of modern times as polled by many online services and the results are:

1. Spend more quality time with family.
2. Get fit and exercise.
3. Over 66% considered themselves overweight and vowed to start diets and lifestyle changes to combat their weight.
4. Quit smoking - easier these days with patches, gum and tablets.
5. Enjoy life more.
6. Quit drinking excessively and return to moderate consumption.
7. Get out of debt.
8. Learn something new - take a course on something.
9. Volunteer within the community.
10. Become better organized.

I though it was interesting to see the first one, ‘Spend more QUALITY time with family’. How can we get the quality part of this equation accomplished in today’s busy world? Most of us have never thought about out sourcing for an expert because we are too stubborn or strong willed that we can do it our self or no one knows better that I do. But, out sourcing for a PCA at a time of dramatic and important resolution planning like this can help. A PCA can bring that ‘quality of life’ back.

It’s important to know, the resolutions we keep help shape the character of who we are.
