Reflect On 2021
Reflect on all the good, fun, great things you did in 2021. Also consider if you have achieved as much as you wanted to in the last 365 days. 12 months is a short time and yet it is also quite a substantial amount of time.
And, if you add starting progress in one year to developing progress in a second year plus compounding progress in a third year, you could be unstoppable!
So don’t think it’s just one year. Think of each year building on itself. You’re either getting better or drifting back each year. Be conscious about that.
Build on all your good achievements this past year, big and small. Let’s 10x those in 2022. Let’s get ready so we fly out of the gate! Become unstoppable!

Do You Know How To Box?
It’s Boxing Day for many. For some that means sales to benefit from. For others it means returns go in a box and are shipped back to the sender. Still others enjoy walks, lunches, family time or other pursuits.
Either way it seems like a wild card day for many. If you’re fortunate enough to have this day off work and are able to do what you like with it, enjoy!

So You Have Some Goals
Excellent! But have you written them down? Are they specific? What will be your biggest obstacle to overcome in achieving this new goal? How will you overcome it?
Planning ahead is critical if you’re serious and committed to achieving a successful outcome.

Life Is Constantly Shifting
You walk down a different street and you get a different perspective of your town. The doctor calls with test results and the world looks different.
You achieve something, buy something or do something new. From that moment your life is altered. Your perception changes. You become a different person. Ever so slightly. Bit by bit. We shift. We evolve. You transform.
Imagine becoming the Earth’s best version of you today. Make the changes more quickly. What are you waiting for? All the knowledge is there. Use it.
Life is constantly shifting. You can notice it if you pay attention. Keep shifting until you’re unstoppable.

Final Push
Final week to get things ready for Christmas and the four day weekend. Get things tidied up Sunday latest Monday. Double check you’ve got it all done. Done the shopping, booking, preparing and maybe even the wrapping and any final cards.
Accept whatever isn’t done and enjoy all that has been.

Moderation Is Key
In all things, be mindful of moderation. Exercise, food, entertainment time, alcohol, caffeine, spending and work are all optimally experienced in moderation.
Sometimes we go overboard. It happens. But we can learn to moderate ourselves. At Christmas, enjoy a few snacks, one plate of food and two or three drinks over the day. More than this might have you feeling bloated, anxious or unwell. In addition, you not be pleased with your progress on longer term goals if you’re setting yourself back a little.
By all means, have fun and enjoy. Just see if your enjoyment can be maximised within a comfortable boundary.
The next two weeks will be challenging on so many fronts. Moderation is key to making the best of the holiday season.

Celebrate Your Wins!!!
An essential part of life is enjoying it. And you can create a lot of momentum if you celebrate little and large wins. So make sure you book in little celebrations after every milestone.
Celebrations can be in the form of high fives, fist pumps, a little dance, or a favourite food or drink. For slightly larger wins, book a walk, lunch or dinner. Big wins might attract bigger events like a cruise, vacation, weekend away or special purchase. It might even be as simple as spending special time with someone you have had to miss seeing while you have been achieving your goals.
This is easy to overlook or see as being just silly or frivolous. But it will make your life more joy-filled. Don’t always wait for just the big win at the end of the year or decade. Some people wait their whole life before they can smile and truly enjoy where they are and the success they’ve been creating. My suggestion though is to not wait.
Celebrate, proportionally, as much as you can! It feels good and is quite motivational. It also reinvigorates you.
Celebrate is step seven in my forthcoming book – Achieve Anything – The 7 Simple Steps to Shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable. Be sure you include frequent, but proportional, celebrations for every perceived win. Mix it up. Do some free and paid-for ones. You will be so grateful you did this step a lot. It really makes your life more enjoyable. Build your confidence and happy factor. Celebrate your wins!!!

Review Your Progress
‘Are we there yet?’ Clearly wanting to know how far from the finish we are is a natural desire. ?
If you’ve ever had a long journey with kids in the car, you’ll know the phrase I am referring to. But adults want to know to. They check maps, or their satnav, to see if they are ‘making good time’ and where the next rest station is.
Employers want to see ‘progress reports.’ Athletes need to track their gains and PBs. We all want to be a little better or further along with something at sometime in our lives.
It’s easier to review your progress if you have a plan to track against. Then you can course-correct if need be because you’ll know when you are a little off course. Tracking your progress allows you to see your plan unfold. And, spoiler alert, you’ll also know when to celebrate as you reach milestones.
This may be the most skipped step in the 7 step process. People are averse to tracking and reviewing. There are a variety of reasons for this. But the impact is that they usually make less progress. Often this occurs because they don’t know the progress exists so they give up too early and throw out the plan. If only they doubled down their discipline and tracked their progress and reviewed their plan daily. There would be a lot more achievements in this world!!
Review is step six in my forthcoming book – Achieve Anything – The 7 Simple Steps to Shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable. Be sure you include a daily review element to your plan to greatly increase your chance of success. Review your progress!
PS. On Tuesday, I received the Advance Copy of the paperback!!! Looking great! Amazing to have it in my hands. A couple of tiny tweaks is all it needs. Hopefully the hardback will look equally fantastic when I receive it later this week!
