Hi, Joy Meredith here!
Each New Year’s Day I spend some
time closing out the prior year and
creating what I would like to bring
into the fresh new year ahead.
Since I began this ritual over a decade
ago it has transformed my life and
that of some clients and friends.
It has been such a powerful tool I felt compelled to share it
with you. I call my technique for mapping out your life:
ME

ME MAPPING

4.
Working on My Life Creating My Year
Diagramming out my
current life and sorting out
what’s working
from what’s not.
There are 2 ways I use ME Maps:
Mapping out what’s next
and creating the year ahead.

5.
ME Mapping.com
You can find out about
how to work on your
current life at:
… but what follows is my
process for creating your
new year.

6.
It is part visioning, dreaming, goal
setting, and strategic planning…
all in one.
I hope you take from it what is
helpful and make it
Your ME Map!

of the page.
I like using a big
artist sketchpad
and Sharpies-
but use whatever
works for you.

Next add details
of what you’d like
to create or bring
into your life in the
upcoming year..
Add only enough to
inspire, not to
overwhelm you.
I recommend < 5
items to manifest
per category.

10.
Whether you create a big
audacious map or modest
one, please remember:
Ask yourself what you really
want out of it.
Be brave, stretch yourself in
at least a few areas.
life is short

Even if you do nothing more-- opportunities, things, and
people will begin to cross your path. Just the simple act of
mapping out on paper will get your brain scanning for
circumstances that are ripe for you to manifest your vision.
[That said, to live your most powerful
year you’ll want to spend some time
each week and schedule in your
calendar bite-sized action steps that
will bring your map to life. ]

At year-end…
or as I like to do on the first
day of the new year, it is time
to complete that year’s map.
Fill in all your accomplishments
and make any relevant notes.
It looks better and is easier to
read if you do this with a
contrasting (or your theme) color.

You’re not going to have accomplished everything-
no worries- even if you’ve manifested 50% of what you’ve
mapped you are that much farther ahead then you were a
year ago.
That said, why not live a great big wonderful life-
Go for it!

19.
The last thing I do before I complete the year
is I review my calendar and note any
significant events that might have occurred.
I make a list on the opposite top page of my
sketchpad and include: births, deaths,
weddings, graduations, promotions, new
projects, and any other milestones.

So when I am done
I have a complete
snapshot of the
year I just lived.

22.
How cool is that?!
… but the truly amazing thing is I
now have 10+ maps where I can
glance at the last decade of my life
and celebrate how far I’ve come,
all I’ve accomplished,
and see the openings left by the
things I have yet to create.
Working on your first ME Map
is an awesome
feeling

23.
ME Maps work great to
create your year as a couple/
family too.
Follow same process to
develop a WE Map with the
ones you love.
(WE Mapping.com)
But wait there’s more…
See how powerful of a year
you can generate with
a B Map focusing on your
business, brand, or career.
