Stepping Up

When was the last time you stepped up? Are you sitting there wondering, what do I mean? Well for example when the last time you:

Volunteered to run a social event (work, school, moms group)?
Went on a class trip or helped out at school?
Showed support for a friend in need?
Took on a task at the office even though you weren't thrilled?
Were vocal about an election or wrong doings in the community?
Went to a HOA or civic meeting?
Decided to take a leap of faith on yourself and do what you love?
Completed that exercise program you had wanted to try?

Maybe for some of you these come naturally and for me sometimes too much! If you go to freedictionary.com you will see that when you enter stepping up a list comes up about what it means:

To improve one's performance or take on more responsibility, especially at a crucial time. 
One of a series of actions, processes, or measures taken to achieve a goal.

So where do we all want to step up to this year? We've talked about stepping out of our comfort zones and taking a step back to see where we want to be now let's try to put that to great use with a favorite exercise of mine.

Visualize this circle is 2015 and I want to know the following:

1. What do you want to BE in 2015?
2. What do you want to HAVE in 2015?
3. What do you want to DO in 2015?
4. What do you want to GIVE in 2015?

Pull out your phone put on the stopwatch for 5 minutes and just write down everything that comes to mind in each of those areas (use a different quadrant for each area). When you are done take a look at all you want out of life! Maybe you have overlap in some of the quadrants. I encourage you to choose just 2 or 3 of those and focus on STEPPING UP and doing them! Hold yourself accountable by taking action and if you need someone to help, let me know! I will gladly check in with you if you share your goals!
