Create Your Dreaming Session
In the final week of the year, set aside time to dream about what you achieve and make happen in the new year. Now is the perfect opportunity to create your dreaming session. Here is how to get started to dream about the new year.
Set The Mood
Before you start dreaming about what you want to make happen in the new year, you need to first set the mood. You’re not going to be able to focus and dream in a loud, busy environment. Instead, find a quiet place alone where you can dream without interruption. Maybe you want to light a candle while you cozy up with a warm blanket and your favorite beverage. Take a few deep breaths to slow your mind down from life’s hectic pace. It’s not a race to see how quickly you can complete your dreaming session. Rather, it’s a time for you to dream as long as you need to so that you can fully visualize your major milestones in the new year. Also, make sure you have a...
Reflecting Over The Year
The journey of life is not an easy, clear, direct path. There are lots of ups and downs. Maybe this was an up year or perhaps it was a down year. Either way, it’s important to reflect over the year. You’ve made it through some tough times. Take a look at the obstacles you’ve overcome and the difficulties that you’ve faced. Celebrate each milestone on your journey. These challenges have pushed you out of your comfort zone and helped you to step into a higher version of yourself. Without these challenges it’s difficult to learn and grow. Here is how to complete your yearly reflection.
Learn
There are things you know now that you didn’t know at the beginning of the year. Whether this was knowledge you gained through books, podcasts, videos, or courses, you’ve furthered your mental cognizance. Maybe you learned a new skill this year by taking up a new hobby. Perhaps...
Your Yearly Review
With December here, it’s the perfect time to complete a yearly review of the goals you’ve achieved and where you may have missed the mark. This yearly review will allow you to celebrate your success of what went right and also acknowledge what didn’t go quite as well so that you can make improvements in the future. Here are four steps to complete your yearly review to set yourself up for success in the new year.
Lessons Learned
First, write down the lessons that you’ve learned this year. Think about what your biggest takeaways were from this year. Usually these lessons are from challenges or difficult times that you’ve faced. But, it could also just be something new that you’ve learned. Maybe a new mindset shift of how to think about things and view the world. It could be a new hobby that you dedicated time to practicing and learning. Consider what experience and knowledge you gained this...
Four Lessons From This Year
Each year brings about something new. This includes new challenges and opportunities to learn. It’s in the darkest, most difficult of times that you’re able to fully breakthrough and experience growth. Ultimately, this is what life is all about. You’re able to become the highest version of yourself when you learn and grow. Those lessons can be taken with you and help you in future challenges. Here are four lessons from this year.
Search For Signs
Often seeing the success of others can be triggering. Usually this is because you’re not quite there yet or at least as far along as you’d like to be. Instead of feeling envy or jealously, see the success of others as proof that it is possible for you. Better yet, that it is a sign that you’re on the right track and on the path to seeing success in your own life. See someone else’s success as confirmation that success on already its...
Four Things You Can Achieve This Month
It’s officially December! You may be feeling the pressure to try and make up for lost time in regards to your goals. You maybe thinking that you can scramble, push extra hard, work furiously, and actually squeak out achieving the goal you’ve set by the end of the year. But, is that really the best move? Be realistic with what you can achieve this month. Be practical and don’t overwhelm yourself by overloading your schedule with ten million to dos. Here are four things you can achieve this month in order to set yourself up for success in the new year.
Your Goal

How To Survive The Holidays
With the holidays around the corner, life can get busy and your goal gets pushed to the back burner. You have a lot going on and adding one more thing to your plate feels overwhelming. Here is how to survive the holidays and still make progress toward your goal.
Self Care
With so much on your to do list, the holidays can feel extremely overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to find time in your schedule to just breathe. Take a beat and pause. If you’re able to, squeeze in a nap or quiet time to read a book. You might have to get up a bit earlier to have this peace and quiet to yourself. Be still in the meditative silence. Escape the busyness of the holidays and go for a walk to clear your thoughts. All of these may be tough to do during the holidays but it is so important for your mental health and wellbeing. You have to take care of yourself if you expect to be present and there for others too at...
What You Should Do To Compare Your Progress
It’s so easy to compare where you are to someone else. You see someone else achieve success but you don’t know the whole story. You can’t compare your progress to someone else who has been at it longer, had more practice, or has had more resources available to them. Especially if you haven’t been taking consistent action to achieve your goal. Here is what you should do instead of comparing your progress to someone else.
Consistent Action
When you see someone else succeed, take a look and see what they did and how they achieved success. Usually, it boils down to being consistent, more often, and for a longer period of time. Massive progress is made by taking consistent daily action. It’s not working on your goal every now and then, it’s being consistent. Use the success of others as inspiration to fuel you and motivate you into action. There is no reason why you can’t achieve their...
How To React To The Success Of Others
Comparing your success to others can be triggering. You can have one of two reactions when you someone shares their success or progress with you. Let’s take a look at each of these reactions and see how it helps you or hinders you to achieve your own goals.
Success Trigger
The first reaction is to be triggered by another person’s success. You might feel frustrated, annoyed, bitter, resentful, or that something is wrong with you because you’re not making progress at the same rate as someone else. You might feel like you’re not doing enough, you’re not far enough along, or that you’re ultimately behind. You may get jealous, upset, or envious and think that there is less success available for you. Perhaps you even react by discounting or down playing the success of others because it initially makes you feel better to justify why you haven’t achieved success yet. You find yourself making excuses...
How To Get Out Of The Comparison Trap
Sometimes you can get caught up in the success of other people. You start comparing where you are to where someone else is. Perhaps, you don’t quite measure up. Then, you beat yourself up over your lack of progress because you’re not quite where you’d like to be. Success is not happening fast enough for you. But, often you think other people achieve success quicker and for whatever reason, you start to think that it’s just not possible for you. This comparison trap is not a healthy place to be. Here are five things you can do when you find yourself in the comparison trap.
Your Success
First, show yourself some compassion. Stop beating yourself up. You have achieved success in now and the past, no matter how small it may seem. Don’t belittle your progress and instead celebrate your success. Show yourself some gratitude. Be grateful for where you are and just how far...
Three Key Beliefs You Must Have To Achieve Your Goal
One of the hardest things to do is to actually start to achieve your goal. You may have set a goal for yourself, but you haven’t taken action to achieve it. Perhaps you’re waiting for everything to be perfectly lined up or maybe it’s just not the right time. It could even be fear, worry, or self doubt that’s holding you back from taking action. In any case, your goal won’t wait forever. Here are three key beliefs you must have to achieve your goal.
You’re Ready
First, stop waiting for everything to be perfect or for all your ducks to be in a row. Otherwise, you’ll just be waiting forever because that will never happen. You have to start from where you are. You don’t need to educate yourself more, gain more knowledge, or accumulate more tools. You have everything you need within you to achieve your goal. You can make this happen but you just have to start. Stop...
