When we look at others, we often think they are the same as us plus all the other benefits they have. We don’t tend to think what they could’ve been through or how difficult their life was or what they have sacrificed. We don’t know, but we make it up and we add only the good bits we make up into of our story of their lives.
Sometimes we push the limits because we’re enjoying ourselves and sometimes we have overflowing responsibilities. It does happen.
Remember to get rest as soon as you can though. Your health is key.
You’re pumped for the new you!! But you don’t have enough time in your day to fit in these new activities, habits, and skills. That’s ok.
You simply need to say goodbye to some “old you” drags on your time. Maybe that tv show you no longer really watch: that could save 50 minutes. Or the 1 hour in the gym could be reduced to 30 minutes, every time, or at least 3x a week.
Design your days such that you stop doing things the new you would not do and start doing things that a pro in your field would be doing without question. Figure it out. Now go!!
So you think you have a plan for 2023. What you probably have is a wish list, or simply an idea.
An idea has no emotion and little, if any, detail. It’s more of a statement. Lose 42 pounds. Get a new job. Land people on Mars.
You can then personalise it and add some emotion like excitement, concern, giddiness, fear or trepidation. As the idea moves from an abstract thought to something that may be part of your future, you begin to internalise it and different emotions will start to bubble up to the surface. For example, I would like to lose 42 pounds, get a new job and be part of the team that lands people on Mars.
To improve your chances of success though, you are best to write these ideas down. Make them personal with “I am” type statements and then add some clear, detailed steps and milestones that you’ll need to go through to reach your desired goal.
Making a plan requires more commitment and detail. It takes a bit of time to make. If you don’t have the will to commit to making the plan, it’s unlikely you’ll have the will to overcome the challenges that you’ll find on the path you have chosen to take.
If you do commit, you’ll need dates and times that you’ll actively progress your plan. You can add milestones too. You’ll also need a system to review your progress, including daily tracking of key activities and metrics. Without tracking against a plan, you are likely to drift and then give up.
But that needn’t be your story. Be the top 5% of people. Use your discipline. Feel how good it will be to have reached your goal. Hold that thought.
Now go turn your 2023 ideas into wishes and then make a plan around the most important ones.
Tag me in so we can celebrate together!!!
Start your year with discipline. Do the things you need to do regardless of motivation. Even if you don’t want to do something, do it anyway. That is what we call discipline. It’s hard at first, but it will get you the results.
Physically fit. Financially fit. Relationship fit. Mentally fit. Why wouldn’t you want to be fit in all four areas? Yes it can be hard work to get yourself fit for life, but isn’t it worth it?
With just 15-30 minutes a day you can make great progress across the months and incredible progress across one year. With an hour per day, you may find yourself unrecognisable!
One hour divided by four key areas means only 15 minutes per day to improve essential areas of your life.

No one has to know. Or you can tell the world. The important bit is to do good deeds, regardless of who knows.
Life can be hard. In addition, you don’t know when it’s being extra hard on someone. So do good deeds frequently. Then hopefully these good deeds will make a difference in many peoples lives. It may even save some.
What would an amazing 2023 look like for you? Would you get a raise, change jobs, land a key account or retire? How good would your relationships be? How would you know or measure that? Which skill or habit would you acquire or improve?
What about your health and fitness? Will this be the priority it should be? What does the best you actually look like? Where will you be on the wealth scale? Could you be a little wealthier at the end of the 12 months? How much wealthier could you be?
And what one thing are you going to do just for you?
I hope you wrote all this down. You’ll need to refer back to it all every week, at least.
This is how you have an amazing 2023 – you design it. Then execute.
Is there anything you want to achieve in 2023? Of course there is!! What about 2024 and 2025? I’m sure there is.
Get your mind thinking about the exciting and mundane goals you have imagined for your life in the many months ahead.
As the wonderful outcomes breeze through your mind, start writing these down. Capture your thoughts on paper to better reflect on over the coming days and make planning and tracking easier too.
Start today!
The thing I love about Boxing Day is that it really is a nothing day. I feel no compulsion to do anything. Although I think I should check out some sales and pick up a few things that are now in the need category, I won’t probably do it and will enjoy doing nothing.
There is no requirement to see anyone. It’s not like a bank holiday Monday where you try to get away for the long weekend because of it either. It’s a day to relax and truly do nothing. Or anything you want.
Rather than Boxing Day, I think of it as Bonus Day.
Enjoy!!!
