Happy New Year! 2017! Time to MOVE on to a bigger / better future! Take everything from 2016, the good, the bad, the in between and learn from it. This is YOUR year! Are you ready to start every day with ENERGY, FOCUS, and POSITIVITY? If you said “yes” then GREAT!
First things first! SET GOALS! NOT RESOLUTIONS!
“People who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them than ones who didn’t. Telling a friend increased this rate to 78%.”
Make a list of 8-10 goals for 2017, make them SMART…
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time Bound
(i.e. Goal #1 Loose Weight…this is a great goal but not detailed enough. HOW, and in what way will you put this goal into action)
My family (myself, husband, and both kids) make goals each year. Every couple of months we review (together) our goals and see how we are doing. This keeps us accountable.
Next…Place your goals in multiple places where you will see them repeatedly every day. The more you see them, read them, the higher success you have of completing them.
Change….Once a month refresh your goals. Refresh by taking inventory of how you are doing in reaching those goals. Add new ones if you completed one or two.
STAY FOCUSED AND POSITIVE! The effect of positive mind thought on EVERYTHING you do is crucial to your success! The brain is an incredible machine. It does what you tell it to do. Thus saying “I Can’t”, “I feel ….blah blah blah”, “I’m not smart enough” Your brain will surely agree and you can bet you won’t do the task at hand. BUT, when you tell yourself I CAN, I WILL,
I AM ENOUGH….guess what? YOU DO!
Some of my goals for the new year are
- read or listen to 24 books this year (all for knowledge)
- schedule 5hours a week of MY TIME to work out…consistently
- Nix ALL NEGATIVITY from my daily life/Keep Positivity flowing
- reduce/remove unnecessary social media wasted time
- schedule family nights and date nights each month
I challenge you to write your goals, to read them daily, to set them in action!
2017….It is your year! No blaming, no shaming, no whining….take responsibility and MAKE IT YOURS!
Here’s a link to my first book of 2017 that I am listening to on audible http://www.audible.com/ . I highly recommend it. http://www.theenergybus.com/
DO THE WORK!
