Have a happy, intentional 2019

We all really like the idea of New Year, new me. A new chapter, a fresh start...

We are all so motivated and positive in those first few days of a new year, but to be honest, it doesn't really last very long. All you need as proof is to monitor the gym attendance in January vs. February. Why is it that our New Year’s Resolutions feel like bad reruns year in and year out?

The problem is not goal setting or even the desire for change; it is being intentional, focused, accountable and disciplined.

My "WORD" for 2019 is intentional, so what will this look like? 

1. Being deliberate in what I commit to, what I think about and what I tolerate in my life.
2. Awareness of my habits and the things, people, circumstances and relationships in my life that no longer serve me.
3. Being aware of my default programming and ACTIVELY writing new programs as required (thank you Mel Robbins!)
4. Making a decision to change those behaviours, relationships and circumstances which are past their sell-by.
5. Being accountable to myself for my results.
6. Monitoring and measuring progress DAILY.
7. Defining the weekly steps (even the tiniest steps) on each goal and hitting those targets consistently and purposefully. What gets scheduled, gets done!
8. Understanding that sometimes you need to be a bit more selfish to thrive. Especially when it comes to time, creative output, boundaries and self- care.
9. Momentum over speed. Progress over perfection.
10. Being present. Less worry or regret.
11. Visualization, gratitude and meditation
12. Making time for fun, friends and family.
13. Action.

 
That is my plan!

I hope you have already set some compelling goals, scheduled your actions steps for this week and that you are setting yourself up for success in 2019.

Maybe next year we can celebrate and call ourselves goal achievers! Let’s do this!
