Here we are at another year and I’m ready for it!
“Well, you’re a month late it’s February not January.” I don’t know if anyone else is done with all the hype for every new year: the resolutions, the new goals and plans, and to-do lists. I can’t forget the new vision board. I’ve started to avoid it in my personal life.
Now before you shout me down and throw my own words and life back in my face, let me clarify what I mean.
When that clock hits midnight I’m all for it! I’ll shout and holler, “This is my best year yet!” And if there’s a word for the year I’m all over it. Like, it’s being made into a screensaver.
So, I’m not against starting the new year off right.
For me and my personal endeavors, whether it’s my health and fitness journey, self-development, dream-to-action plans, etc. I’ve started to do things a little bit different. Why? Because I don’t want to tie these goals and lifestyle changes to the New Year for them to be something that will fizzle out in three months because the new year is getting old!
I start in December or February! 2022 for example, I spent the time in December setting my course and deciding upon things and when January rolled around I was in my flow already.
This year I was packing and moving and unpacking (still unpacking and organizing) through December and January so February is my MOMENT OF CHANGE!

There’s a lot to do. Mentally, I get things refreshed and reorganized for myself by writing out the main points that I’m going to be SERIOUS about in this MOMENT.
For example, I’m serious about my sharing my books with people who are interested in them, the genres.
Then I ask myself, “What do I need to do now, learn now, watch now, etc.”
Then I set some goals: – find someone who has done what I’m starting out to do and learn from them. – follow on social media etc, subscribe to their newsletter, and start to act on their suggestions.
It’s not complicated, but for me, it is a tangible start in the right direction. I hope it can be for you too!
