As this year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to reflect on where you are. Maybe you’re proud of the work you’ve done and the progress you’ve made this year. Or, perhaps you’re not quite where you’d like to be and the new year gives you hope that there’s something better on its way to you. As this year comes to a close, look to the new year with hope that there is still time to make changes. You do not have to continue doing what you’ve always done and settling for less. You can choose something new and different for your life. You get to make the deciding factor to continue living life as is or choose a new direction. A new year can be a fresh start and whole new beginning for you.
A new year can bring a sense excitement, hope, light, love, and optimism for what’s to come. There is plenty more in store for you and your life. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself of that. Start by thinking about what you want to create in the new year. Consider the things you want to achieve, the places you want to go, and what you want to do. The world is your oyster so dream big and create some goals for yourself in the new year.
Next, determine what is no longer working for you. Reflect on what’s not serving your highest good. These are the things that are holding you back, keeping you stuck, and living in fear, worry, doubt, procrastination, perfectionism, failure, judgement, etc. These are the negative feelings and thoughts that are preventing you from living life to your full potential. You get to choose what you want to leave behind in this year and what you want to take with you into the new year.
Then, decide who you’re going to be in the new year. Visualize how you’re going to show up for your goals and dreams. Think about who you need to be, how you need to feel, and what actions you need to take. This could be someone who acts with kindness, courage, and bravery. Where you focus on the positive and refrain from letting any negativity consume you. You act from a place of confidence, believing in yourself, and that your success is inevitable. Channel this inner belief in yourself and carry those positive vibes with you into the new year.
In all honesty, you do not need a new year to start over. You can press the reset button anytime, any day. Mentally, it just feels easier with a fresh start and the clean slate of a brand new year. However, whenever you’re feeling down and struggling with where you are, take a moment and pause. Reflect over just how far you’ve come. Think about how much wiser and smarter you are because of the small progress you have made. Even the tiniest amount is something to celebrate. You’ve learned and grown. Recognize the progress you’ve made and who you’ve become to find that inner strength to believe in yourself again. Believe that you are capable of achieving greatness. You can do anything you set your mind to if you just start believing in yourself and that it’s possible. Your success is inevitable when you utilize this mental reset to recalibrate and put yourself in the right headspace.
Lastly, take this idea of you get to choose into the new year. It’s not a you have to. Rather, it’s you get to. You get to decide what you want out of life. It’s up to you to make it happen. It’s not going to just magically appear on its own. You have to take action and do the work. But, it’s a privilege and honor that you get to do these things. When you say you get to it becomes a choice instead of a mandatory requirement. Choosing how you take action and show up for your life is what’s going to determine if you live life on repeat or actually go after your goals for once. Today is the day you get to choose to keep living life as is or choose to make a change and go after the life you want.
The new year is right around the corner. This can be your big turning point where you finally decide to take action towards your goals and dreams in life. Decide what you want to make happen in the new year and choose to commit to making it happen. Look forward with hope, knowing that massive success is possible in the new year.
