As a Jew, I observe Rosh Hashanah as a chance to set goals for the New Year.
As an American, I observe January 1st as a chance to set goals for the New Year.
As a coach, I observe every day as a chance to set goals for a New Year.
Of course, today is my birthday, and it's another terrific opportunity.
When I work with my clients on behavioral change, we usually break it down into three categories:
Start
Stop

Here's mine for my "Double Chai"* birthday:
Start: Writing thank you notes more consistently
Stop: Hoarding my frequent flier miles -- and USE them
Continue: Not taking phone calls or checking emails when my kids come home from school
What would you like to START, STOP and CONTINUE?
