The first week in January is an opportune time to set a goal for the coming year. Being realistic about goals is a great way to make sure they will remain with you throughout the year. For an art exercise to explore your goal, we will be writing a letter to ourselves. Please date the letter December 31, 2012. Begin by complimenting yourself on the great job you did completing your goal you set for yourself. Discuss the challenges you overcame and the feelings connected to success and anything else you imagine you might experience in the coming year as you achieve this goal. Once you write this letter, set it aside for a few days, then re-read it and begin your journey toward accomplishing it. Good Luck
