Breathing Space

Creating space for who you are and what you do

New Year Vision

Happy New Year!

I’ve been wanting you to start off the New Year with a sense of comfort and possibility about the spaces you occupy.
There’ll be plenty of “what to do” organizing tips coming your way in 2008 … starting with the one I was about to send, but right now, as the New Year begins, take a long deep breath in/out …ahhhhhhhh - and then another, and one more. Yay!

Now, think about one space you wish was working better for you. If you can spare 15 minutes now to mull over the questions below - great. If not- make note of the space you want to think about when you have a tad more time.

Here are a few questions that will help as you consider your space.
Depending on your usual thought process and your current mood some will work better for you than others. See which one(s)speak to you!

* What is the purpose of this space? Has the purpose changed? And if so- does the physical lay out and the stuff in it still fit?

* How would I most like to use the space? Can I make a shift in that direction?

*What do I really NOT like in this space?

*What do I NEED to have in the space?

*Is there something I would like to feature? A piece of art or a plant or something else?

*If I had a magic wand how would the space feel and look?

Answers to any of these questions will help you envision changes in your surroundings that will give you a boost as the year unfolds.

As always, I’d love to hear — either by email, phone, or, comment here on what you discover, and what happens after that.
