New year. New Beginnings?
Another January first has come and gone.
At this point in time there are plenty of people that make resolutions etc to make this year their one!
It is a really cool thing in our minds that we have this mark in the sand, we have a point in time we can use to measure ourselves. And I actually think it is excellent that a lot of us decide that now is the time to make that pact with ourselves.
Generally we see people making resolutions etc in relation to health and wellbeing and wanting to be better in regards to it. This is brilliant!
But there is a saying that the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
In this scenario you can have the best of intentions but if they are not accompanied by some positive action to achieve them then in a year’s time you might be sitting here again thinking where did 2026 go!
The point I am making today is that resolutions, goals, and intentions set in a new years period are fabulous in their intent, they just need some plan and action to make them a reality in the future.
So what can we do about it?
First of all get clear on the goal, see yourself achieving it, really visualise it.
Where will you be when you tick that goal off?
How will it feel?
Will you look different?
How will those close to you react?
Ask these type of questions, and get super clear on seeing yourself in these scenarios, really zoom in and see it clearly.
Keep this vision in mind, all the time, write it down, look at it daily, at least twice a day, see it in your mind if you close your eyes.
That is step one.
Next, define the action you can do today to start working towards it.
It might be an extra serving of veggies at lunch, it might be picking up the phone and calling the gym to book in to meet them, it might be 10 mins of stretching on the loungeroom floor, it could be reading 10 pages of a book. Define it and then immediately go to step three. Do not hesitate, do not wait, do it now
Step three, do that action. Eat some more veg, call the gym, stretch, read, whatever that SMALL first step is do it. Don’t let anything get in your way. Do it. Right now.
The idea is to do it while you have momentum, you have that vision in mind. If you take that first small step then, the rest will start to flow well after it.
Now doing this step is easy. The next few may be a bit more difficult. But don’t think you need to go it alone!
A brilliant way to get it to stick this year is to enlist some help. A friend, a relative, a co worker, ME!
Any of those might be able to help you stick to it. If you know what you are doing to a degree anyone will do, but if you think, ‘hmm, I have a goal, a vision, but no idea of any other steps’, then I can help you with that. I mean it. We can sit down together and come up with your next steps. All mapped out.
So this coming year, you can do the same old and set the goals and vision, but have no clear path, and end up where you are now.
Or you can set those goals, really see yourself achieving them, really zero in on them, and then give me a call and I can guide you towards them helping you take those next steps that so many don’t.
And if I can’t help you, I will simply let you know.
But if I can I will do all that I can to help you put yourself right into that vision of yourself achieving your goals that you want.
You don’t need a grand makeover, a huge thing that will uproot your whole life. You just need a clear plan and idea of how to get what you want.
