Wowsa…it’s June already!! This year is flying by so quickly.
I want to challenge you this week to think about those goals you made New Year’s Eve. What did you want to accomplish this year? How was this year going to be different than last year? Maybe you didn’t make any goals….well now is as good as time as ever!
Reflect back on these back 5 months:
- What is working for you right now?
- What isn’t working for you right now?
- What distractions are you letting get in your way?
- What support do you need?
- Who are the 5 people you surround yourself with most? Are they helping or hurting you in life?
Looking back is hard sometimes when you are absolutely brutally honest with yourself. You can fluff through those questions pretty easy, but that doesn’t get you anywhere. That gets you stuck in the same place you are now.
Take time to answer those questions now…. I’ll wait….
You didn’t think I would make this challenge that easy did you?
Now it’s time to take action. Action is where the magic happens. You can read and reflect all you want, but it won’t matter unless you DO something about it.
Dec 31, 2024 – What would need to happen to feel like this year was a success? What goals do you want to accomplish? What are the gaps between where you are now and the goal you want to meet? What actions can you take to achieve that goal?
Now the power of reflection meets action:
- What do you need to stop (what’s not working) to achieve your goal?
- What do you need to continue doing (what’s working) to achieve your goal?
- How are you going to handle those distractions that keep getting in the way of your goal?
- Who or where are you going to go for support? Accountability is key here. Tell people your goal and what you are doing. Help them hold you accountable if you start picking back up on those distractions or bad habits. You are not on an island by yourself. Surround yourself with like minded people.
Be a goal getter! It’s never too late to just go for it!
