| | I hope you're having a happy new year so far!! You may know that I'm a big fan of resolutions. (I shared several resolution resources in Monday's newsletter, in case you missed it.) I also love recommending other strategies to get the most out of the new year, and I'll be sharing those with you as well right now! Because not everyone operates the same way, it helps to have a few different approaches. (And, if you're like me, you may even want to use them all!) Resolutions, goals, dreams, or Things To Do...whatever you call it, the ideas and plans that move you toward a better life in 2013 can help you to relieve stress as well! -Elizabeth | | Make 2013 YOUR Year! Whether you are an enthusiastic resolution-setter, a casual planner, or someone who is burned-out or indifferent to resolutions as a concept, I encourage you to take today to dream, plan, and allow yourself to envision the type of changes you might love to see in yourself and your life in the coming year. Here's how. | How To Make A New Year's Bucket List I'm a real fan of bucket lists--they encourage us to be sure we don't forget to do the things we really want to do in life, even if they're fun and frivolous. New Year's bucket lists are especially useful because they provide a firm deadline for action, which forces us to actually do the things on our lists. (Seriously, I'm going zip-lining this week!) Here's how to sort through your hopes and dreams and fun ideas (even revisiting those you had during childhood) and create a bucket list that can transform your year! | Create A Vision Board For A Less Stressed 2013 Vision boards work for many people! They provide visual motivation that pulls you toward your goals and the things you want in life. Many people say that merely creating a vision board crystalizes their goals--even if they forget all about the goals, they sometimes come back and realize that their "forgotten" vision board goals end up coming together in a seemingly effortless way, given time. (I myself have had this experience--did I mention I have a book coming out this year?) Creating a vision board is a fun way to dream and plan for the coming year--here's how it's done. | What Type of Personality Do You Have? We'll be focusing more on creating great things and relieving stress in 2013 next week, but I also wanted to share these self-assessment tools. They'll give you information on your personal relationship with stress, and supply you with targeted resources that apply specifically to your situation. | | | | Related Searches | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About.com Stress Management newsletter.
