Welcome to the New You!
The Letter “C” could be the difference between you Crushing your New Year’s Resolutions!
Welcome to the new year! I mean the New You! Have you thought about what you want more of in 2024?
According to a survey conducted by Forbes, some of the most common resolutions for 2024 include:
Enhancing finances (38.2%)
Shedding weight (33.8%)
Refining dietary habits (31.6%)
Improving fitness (48%)
Improving mental health (36%)
Losing weight (34%)
Improving diet (32%)
Some of those may be on your list. There is a strategy for crushing your goals in the new year.
The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre noted that “Life is C between B and D,” meaning that the life we live is the choices we make between the “B” of birth and the “D” of death. The simplicity of that statement is relevant to each of us in our journey of life.
The Choice is yours, regardless of your circumstances. You can choose to make excuses or give up the power that you know you can live a life without barriers. But remember that choosing is active, and it is time for you to make better choices today.
I have found that you need another “C” in addition to Choice if you want to resolve something in the new year. That word is Committ! Many of you want to do something that will improve your life and business. Something you know you should do. But you don’t do it because you let other things get in your way. You break that promise to yourself over and over.
So, what can you do to achieve those Resolutions in the new year and get more out of 2024?
You schedule time to think about what and who is holding you back. What do you want more of in your life? You write it down because when you write it down, it becomes more of a commitment or promise to you. For some, you may want to share the new choices you plan to make in 2024 with family, friends, or socially to hold you more accountable. If you prefer to keep that promise to yourself, write down those choices.
I can help you find a great way to do this. I learned this from Jim Kwik, who wrote the book Limitless, by committing yourself to yourself.
Ask yourself the following questions to get you started:
I ( Fill in the blank) commit to doing (Insert) each day until I have reached my goal.
I am choosing to stay curious, yes, another “C” word. I love learning new things and new ways to do things differently, learning from others who have achieved. I love listening to podcasts and audiobooks and sharing what I know with others.
I commit to focusing by forgetting my prior understanding, distractions, and limiting beliefs of what is possible.
We all are limitless! We can no longer let others influence how we live our lives. Who is holding you back? Step past those thoughts and opinions and keep moving toward your dreams. Again, it’s your Choice.
I commit to being active in the process ( Action required).
It takes you to be actively engaged in your choices. We can no longer Hope and Wish for them. We must move toward them and take the necessary steps to reach them.
I commit to managing my state of being, checking my energy levels, and adjusting.
Making new choices about your life and business requires energy. Some of us stop before we start because we get mentally drained. You can choose to be engaged in a better life or not.
Even if I fall short, I commit to giving myself grace, getting back up, and doing my best. Your Choice!
Remember, our lives are between B and D. Birth and D ath! We will fall short, but give yourself credit for taking action to improve your life. A life of adventure, changes,
connection, and fulfillment. A life for making better choices. So I encourage you to choose wisely for you!
There are a lot of C’s you can choose. Challenge, Change, Compete, Courage, Commit. I wish you more and better choices. Choose Something!
