Change, especially that which you need to work on, is rarely easy. But if you succeed, it will be well worth the effort.
It just doesn’t feel like it yet.
Keep going. Stay committed. 100%. (Not 70%, or when you feel like it).
It gets better with each win. Enjoy that feeling.
You need to assess the brutal facts of reality or you’ll find yourself stuck in Groundhog Day for years.
Be honest with yourself. Be fair with yourself too. If you are super tough on yourself, you will not feel very good about it. You are not trying to destroy yourself or your self confidence. But you need to be objective, realistic and fair in order to properly assess things. Only once you know where you are, can you draw the map to where you want to get to.
Who doesn’t like a little surprise that is good? It is awesome. A parking spot close to the door. Drinks on the house. A lottery win.
From small and more frequent to large and rare, it is always so nice to receive some goodness, especially when it’s a surprise.
Write things down. Write out your plans and activities, your dreams and desires. Write your goals.
When you do this put the full date on the page. Years from now you’ll be amazed at what you wrote.
Adore them every day. Let them know through words and touch, throughout the day and evening. Let them enjoy being adored each day.
For one day, they may be gone, or perhaps you will have passed and not be able to adore them anymore. Both are sad and unfortunate outcomes. So focus your efforts on today and makes sure they feel loved throughout the entire day.
They will never forget that feeling. Or you for giving it to them.
Is there something in your life, or the world in general, that you could appreciate more? Do you appreciate the clothes you are wearing right now? I wonder if you’ve even thought about them much in the past, or just taken them for granted.
What else do you take for granted? There are probably many things you would notice if they disappeared but don’t even consider on a day to day basis. I’m thinking about the water you drink, the toilet you flush, your toothpaste, being able to walk, your vocabulary, your housing and your job.
The more you can be thankful, grateful for, and appreciate, all the small and large things in your life, the happier and more attractive you will become.
It would be very unusual to be so full of gratitude and not be found more attractive by other people. You would probably be radiating charm and enthusiasm for life. Try it and see!
You chose your goals for 2026. I hope you wrote them down. If you made them clear and specific, go back and review them. If you didn’t, go spend a few minutes refining them and putting in details and timeframes.
Then stick to your decisions. Do not waver. You erode your confidence if you do not honour your decisions.
It’s the first Sunday of the new year. Take a break and enjoy the moment. The fun and frantic of Christmas and New Year are now over. You can relax and enjoy the calm now that you’ve made it through.
It’s a great day to catch your breath and reflect before you launch into an exciting and fast paced new year on Monday. You’ll need all your energy to keep up with this exciting new year and be able to squeeze the juice from this amazing opportunity we all have before us.
Put your feet up. Relax. Enjoy. Recalibrate. Re-energise. And prepare your mind for the success of 2026!
Hope you still have your New Year’s Momentum! Now you need to create a habit and get some discipline going. Keep your goal in sight. Move forward on it everyday.
How did it go? Did you stick to your plan? Waver at all? Did you stay resolute? Did you shift 1% to the better?
Keep making daily progress. In 30 days you’ll be proud of what you’ve achieved and you’ll be unrecognisable.
