Have you ever felt that the new year didn’t really “get started” until February? That January is a reeeeally long December?
It’s been that way for me for that last few years and this year is no different as it’s only starting to feel like the new year. Last week I mentioned we gave our kitchen a refresh and cleaned out the garage. That energy has stayed with me and we’ve been finishing up little things for the kitchen, beginning a little project for the girls bathroom, completing semiannual state taxes and getting a jump start on federal taxes. These last 6 weeks have been all about head down doing the work prepping the environment in all things so that 2024 will be what it will be for us. What do you envision for yourself for 2024? What are you working toward? Family Faith Fitness Finances Career Travel Mindset Adventure Social Love …as examples What do you need to simplify to make it happen? What needs to take a back seat for a while (not your health of course). What areas are already doing great? Perhaps family and faith are doing great and have become second nature in your way of living. So we don’t really need to make it a “goal.” It’s already a part of you. You live and breathe it. But perhaps your fitness and health need attention. Perhaps you’ve been feeling tired and rundown or you’re not eating healthy enough Perhaps you aren’t feeling as strong as you’d like and your body feels tight and bound up. Or perhaps your job or career is taking up more time and energy than you can muster and that’s where you need to find a solution to start scaling back and simplify or have a plan to look forward too… Here’s the thing, we can’t do all the things all at once. There needs to be a shift -because I can guarantee you that not everything is a priority even though we’ve been conditioned to believe it is. Jim Rohn always said “if you have more than 1/2 dozen priorities then you don’t have any.” And I could not agree more. That line of thinking has always served me well, especially when I’ve gotten overwhelmed with EVERYTHING that I HAD to get done. We need to be able to put something down either temporarily or permanently. We need to be able to slow down to speed up. I was absent on emails and socials last year. I needed to put my attention on the year long applied neurology course and the fascia stretch therapy program I was in- plus adapting to Sophie’s extracurriculars among other things! Even though I love writing, I needed to set it aside. But now, I can put my attention to it again and other things I have been envisioning. I’d love to hear what you have in store for ‘24 Becs
