You get picture. This is a project that requires a little time. The energy is yours to direct where you want.

Another guide to goals; keep them SMART. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and True. If you want a car, make sure that goal says "Platinum, 2004, 850i BMW car," not, "I want a BMW." You may wind up with a motorcycle! Measurable; how will you know it when you get it? Attainable; is it at all possible? Goals should be at outer edge, not out of reach. Realistic and true for you, not anyone else.

This is your life.

A reminder: don't include other individuals in your goal. They have to make their own. Even when it pertains to your business, it's still your goal. Goals must be consistent with your values. Write your goals in present time; "I am wealthy," not, "I will be rich next year." Feel it and act it. Write down every task and idea that will help fulfill these goals. After you have created all your goals, take several 3 x 5 cards and write them down. Carry these cards with you and keep copies in your car, at office, in your home.

Now it is time to give up control, go with flow and enjoy your rewards!

Talk to your local council, they will know where a community Christmas meal will be served.

Travel agents and local councils will be able to put you in touch with people organising tours on Christmas day. There may be trips to country where you will have a nice meal. Or there may be tours of Christmas scenes and lights.

3) Help others

Help out at a homeless shelter for day and spread Christmas cheer to others. The Salvation Army or other church organisations or poverty groups will be grateful for any help you can offer. Helping others is always a great way to cheer yourself up.

4) Invite others over for a Christmas meal.

If you know of others who are going to be alone you can invite them over for a meal. You can delegate so everyone brings something to eat and make sure everyone knows what time you are expecting them.

Make sure you decide before hand whether you want to exchange gifts or not. That way no one will be embarrassed by not having gifts for others.

This is only a small sample of ways to enjoy your Christmas more. I am sure you can come up with others. The idea is to plan your day and fill it with things you enjoy. When you do this, you will have something to look forward to on day, instead of a long day spent alone, thinking about all things you are missing.
