REVIEW
Write out all the journal exercises to date.  Taking the time to make the list forces you to review how far we have come.

RESOLVE

Go back to each exercise one at a time.  Pull out one word from each exercise that identifies WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO FOCUS ON or STRIVE FOR in 2012 (if there are no words on a page, pick one that comes to mind).

A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute.
