Will you feel exactly the same in 12 months? Or will you have actually done those things you wanted to do?
It’s all down to whether you really want them bad enough and you’re willing to do the work. And you are willing to sacrifice and let go of the current you to become the you you say you want to be.
Over to you!
Yesterday you were given a few things to do regarding 2024 and 2025. Did you do them? If not, put a date and time in the calendar right now to get this done over the next 3 days. Don’t let this opportunity get away from you.
Even if it is not perfect, start. Write on scrap paper if you have to. Book the time in if you didn’t do it.
If you did do it, congratulations! It’s great to review the year and remember all that you did in the last 12 months. It was probably more fulfilling than you thought it was.
Creating a dream / goal list for the future gets you excited about life and the years ahead. It’s a great thing to do.
Now go refine your work. Look over it again. Add bits you have thought more about. Re-read your words to get those great feelings of achievement and adventure. What an exciting year ahead!
Be mindful what you let your eyes see. Many things can’t be unseen. Some visuals return in quiet times or when our eyes are shut at night.
Bathe your eyes in beauty, love and gorgeous things. Look at things that make your heart fly and your soul soar. Do not waste precious moments of your life on anything that is not beautiful to you.
Boxing Day is a good day to take off. Do something different or nothing at all. Don’t do any should’s or secondary interesting things. I wouldn’t just fill time doing nonsense, unless it’s part of what brings you joy or can be done to just to help you actually relax.
You may miss the busy days later on in life. It could be at empty nest time or at retirement.
There are other times, but regardless, enjoy your busy-ness now.
Planning ahead by 6-12 months means you can get cheaper hotel rooms, flights and car rentals.
If you plan your finances in advance, you’ll save money on unnecessary loan interest, last minute charges and unhelpful fees.
Getting agreements in writing with full details and all questions answered gives you time to make better choices and not get stuck with an inferior product or service. The costs in both time and money can be substantial.
Take time to prepare properly and you’ll win more often. Surviving is ok but excelling is a lot more enjoyable.
Plan something different once a month for the 12 months of 2025. Pick a day or days now to do things you would like to do.
This can be free things from going for a walk, visiting a museum or art gallery, attending a church or even booking a night in a hotel in your budget.
See the world differently. Get a new perspective. See what you can learn from the experience.
You will have 12 opportunities to learn from and to look forward to this year. Book the days you want now and you can book the events now too!
Get outside of your usual sphere and meet people. Go to parties and events. Call up clients. See your neighbours.
Have fun and find people you gel with.
Why wait another day? Don’t you want to be clear and get going?
Start working for 30 minutes today. Maybe you’ll get momentum and carry on through to an hour.
Get on top of this. It’s only your life that you’re putting off. And the end is nigh.
Take care of your body and mind. They are the only ones you get. They need to last the whole ride.
Be careful what goes in to both. And be sure to keep them both in tip top shape through helpful exercises.
