New Year is a time to reflect and reminisce about the last year and plan for the upcoming year. As we enter 2007, what comes to mind for me is how many people focus on the negative instead of the positive. Life is all gloom and doom to them. They see the glass as half empty instead of half full. If this is sounding a little familiar, at least sometimes, let me share with you an exercise I do myself and with some of my clients in my workshops. It is a powerful yet simple exercise, and shows me that those sometimes negative attitudes that we tend to have can be changed.
