I love this time of year! It has nothing to do with the holidays and everything to do with the possibilities.
It’s time to dream up new dreams, big and small.
It’s time to improve those things that aren’t working well anymore.
It’s time to release those habits and beliefs that no longer serve.
It’s time to make change happen!
I live to make change happen in my own life and help others do the same. There’s few things more exciting than making progress toward something you really want or seeing the dream you’ve had for a long time finally come into being.
The change can be simple, like forming a new healthy habit or monumental, like building a new career or life from the ground up. I find all kinds of change thrilling!
And this is the time of year to create a plan to change. Most people go the route of saying or writing resolutions. I prefer to call any change I make an aspiration, basically a dream for the future that I try to live into daily.
Regardless of what you call it, change is hard to do. What separates the large number of people who are going to fail on their resolutions in a few weeks and the small number of people who are going to succeed? It comes down to 3 things.
- Belief
- Support
- Accountability
The great news about belief is that it’s basically a given this time of year.
Celebrating the new calendar year is a time of hope and optimism. We believe this year can be better or different than the last. We believe in possibilities. We believe that we’ve got what it takes.
That’s why resolutions are so common right now. We’re all bursting at the seams with belief!
Hang on to that belief because you’re going to need it if you’re heading toward change! Knowing that most resolutions fail, we need to keep our rose-colored glasses on as we dare to be different.
Over the next 2 weeks, we’ll take a look at support and accountability as the other necessary pieces to make change stick. Can't stand to wait that long? Check out my books You Got This and Change Authentically for more motivation.
