Happy New Year! We have 12 months or 52 weeks to get closer to achieving our goals. And we GET TO vs have to! After changing my mindset to living my life by my design, I spent December reflecting on the previous 11 months of 2022. I realized I’d accomplished a lot, even if I didn’t get to the end zone (owning my own permaculture homestead).
Similar to the game of American football, you work for every inch. Thanks to my gratitude journal, many memories that had escaped me were recollected and a different perspective of appreciation applied. Looking back on those many moments (most of them were inches vs. big showy plays) seemed to calibrate my focus for the present and future, allowing my ability to recognize even small or sneaky opportunities to expand - also when and how to trust my gut or recognize personal triggers. Almost like a magnet, I recognize more of these moments. It has felt like an avalanche of growth! While I’ve been basking in my own self-made glow, I took a step back to myself a year ago and really marveled at the difference in my self-awareness and self-empowerment. I also recognized missed opportunities and weaknesses in my game, so I get to revise my playbook!
MINDSET. A real buzzword that starts to lose its magnitude as it gets overused without full understanding. You have to walk this walk to fully understand, and that may take a “fake-it-til-you-make-it” attitude and a gratitude journal to write in every night. At the end of a year of this routine, and a review of your journal, tell me a change of mindset didn’t or doesn’t make a difference!
Back to the here and now. Time to plan my calendar for housekeeping maintenance and the garden plan! Daily, I’ll do my morning affirmations, review my vision and mission, and plan my days with actions that serve my values and get me closer to achieving my short-term and long-term goals! And this year will be sharper and more accurate than the last, I can hardly wait!
Two resolutions I’ve made and have implemented for several weeks now are 1) stretch and break a sweat everyday and 2) turn the shower to cold for the last 30 seconds - BRRRRRRRR! What steps or strides have you made or set up? Mention in the comments to join in this self-empowering conversation for a healthier community and world. Namaste!
