As the last hours of 2009 draw near, I was thinking about what I’ve been doing this week as I prepared for the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. I’d been reading stories on the internet of people and the parties that they were planning to attend. Partying doesn’t interest me much. But, there are some other things that I think are great to do on the last day of 2009–things that will help set up 2010.

1. Write down at least 5 major goals for 2010 – This will help define your direction for the year.
2. Get a 2010 Calendar – This will help you to focus on every day.
3. Wash Your Hair or Get Your Hair Done  – Its a sign that you are going to look good in 2010.
4. Get Your Nails Done – Its a sign that you are going to pamper yourself in 2010.
5. Get some good food that will be eaten on January 1st – This shows that you are going to eat well in 2010.
6. Work out – This tells your body that you are going to take care of it through 2010.
7. Call 3 people who mean a lot to you – This allows you to reconnect with your support system.
8. Write a poem or letter to yourself about how you feel on this day – This will help you to connect with your innermost feelings and help you find your purpose.
9. Tell somebody you love them and mean it! – It is truly love, not money that makes life worth living. The last time you saw a rich person without any love in their lives, you met a miserable individual. Love somebody.

Happy Last Day of 2009! New Year’s wishes are coming tomorrow!
