2024 Words of Wisdom

Over the past couple of weeks you have probably caught yourself saying "next year I will" but why do we wait until a new year? why not change our behaviours or habits anytime time during the year?

It might have something to do with our mindset, its very easy to see a new year as a fresh start, it is like closing the chapter on the year that was and being writing a new chapter on the year that is.

With that being said though, it is a new year!

If you haven't already taken the time to reflect on 2023 I recommend asking yourself these questions:

• If you were to let go of things from last year — both in life and business — what would they be? What would you be ushering out the back door?
  
• And, equally, what would you be welcoming in? What would you love to arrive on your doorstep?

A lot of us have already set our goals for the new year and while it is good have goals, they cannot be achieved without the helpful habits and most importantly discipline.

We all have habits that either help or hinder our success. Our habits should become second nature, they should be easy for us to do and bring joy to our life.

Some Hindering Habits:

• Mindless scrolling on social media and binging shows on streaming platforms wasting time and energy.
• Leaving things to the last minute causing stress and anxiety.
• Not setting boundaries letting others control your life.

Some Helpful Habits:

• Spending your time more productively like reading a book or studying.
• Scheduling or keeping a dairy to stay organised and prepared.
• Taking the time out for yourself to avoid burnout.
• Delegating only certain times and days for meetings.
• Working smarter, creating templates or delegating tasks.

What underpins everything is discipline, and with discipline comes consistency.

The one thing you can be consistent about is always striving to be 1% better everyday and by 2025 you will be 365% better than what you are today. 

Until next time,
