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!!!
Some call it balance and others say harmony. You know what it means. Go get some. Create this in your life.
Think about all that you could smile about. Put some effort in. Perhaps you have decent health without much effort. Maybe you have good relationships. It might even be that you have more money at the end of the month than expenses.
These are all great reasons to smile. Start smiling as you wake up and as you go through the day. Train the smile muscles, both in your mind and on your face. Your life will improve in line with your efforts in this area.
Clear out your stuff. Shift things around. Make room for the new and exciting. Say goodbye to the once loved and now outgrown.
Our kids have just changed rooms in our house. A swap that has been coming for awhile. Late last night it was decided it would happen this morning. So along with all the crazy of this time of year and what’s going on in our lives, this got added in.
They’re in the final stages and it’s almost complete. Both are animated and happy/excited about this new situation.
Something as simple as this can reinvigorate your life. And it can be done in a day (or two. We’ll see).
Try it. You may see the world differently after.
You are the star of your life. Start acting like it. You are also the screenwriter. So start writing in great parts, add a superb supporting cast, wonderful adventures and a few challenges for balance.
Start creating the life story you want to read about or watch on the big screen. Great books and movies can take years to imagine, write out, edit, publish, produce and get out to the world.
There is always a last time. You rarely know when it is though. There is the last time you ever see someone, the last time you work at a company and the last time you visit somewhere special.
Consider everything you do like it’s the last time you will ever do it. Because one day it will be.
Hope is a powerful mindset. To be hopeful and optimistic can carry you a long way in life, sometimes much further than possible without it. Remember this well. Your optimism is your superpower. Guard it with your life.
You can help people improve without encouraging unhelpful thoughts and actions. Helping people is a kind thing to do. However, when you enable bad behaviour and choices, you are no longer their friend, but their enemy.
Get moving quickly on things. Don’t dawdle. Move with intent to achieve, accomplish and complete. Then you can rest. No need to rest in advance or during. Try it. I think you’ll like the results.
