This 1 Tip Will Get Your Year Back On Track
It is nearing the end of April. A third of the year has gone already. You have achieved what you wanted to. Might as well start making plans for January 1.
New Year New Me, Right.
Wrong. You are failing with this mindset.
Let’s change that:
I am perpetually guilty of this. I make big plans. This year is going to be the year that I achieved all that I didn’t last year and more.
January 1st comes around and all guns are blazing, for the first 8–10 days I am smashing all my goals. Then comes day 11, things happen and I can’t keep my goals for that day.
I close my eyes and it is mid-April and I have gone almost completely stagnant on all of the world-beating goals that I was so intent on achieving in those first days of the new year.
I guess like many of us the self-flagellation begins at this time. A sense that the rest of the year is a write-off. I might as well wait until next year.
Next Year Will Be My Year.
That cycle of attempting, getting off track, criticizing myself, writing off the remainder of the year, and then waiting for another chance. It has been a cycle that I have unfortunately been on for years.
