You’ve heard the phrase, “New Year, New You.” It’s an opportunity to reinvent yourself and identify yourself with a new persona. In most cases, this takes the form of New Year’s resolutions.
Some women make them, some women gave up long ago…. But regardless of whether or not you make New Year’s Resolutions… how is the New Year shaping up for you?
Are you:
- Totally loving it and happy with all that you are creating in your world.
- Slowly achieving things you would like, but tend to get taken off track often or,
- Didn’t even get out of the starting blocks with your hopes and dreams for yourself this year?
STOP THERE!
It doesn’t MATTER which category you fall under… all 3 of them stem from the Exact Same Thing!
What is it?
Your mindset. It is the main factor behind whether or not you’ll even HAVE goals – let alone if you can follow through to achieving them!
Positive people who are totally kicking all their goals, have a regular routine of working on keeping their mindset in the best place possible to help them achieve their goals.
You can help your mindset adapt to new lifestyle changes in many ways, but I wanted to share just a few that can help jumpstart it for you right now!
1. Positive Affirmations
It rings true that the more you tell yourself something, the sooner you’ll start to believe it. Be that Positive OR Negative!
It stands to reason that having Positive Affirmations on “repeat” is going to be a whole lot healthier, and make you a whole lot happier, right?
It’s as simple as looking at yourself in the mirror and saying, “You’re going to finish all your work today,” or “You’re going to fuel your body with healthy and nutritious foods that give you energy!”
It can go far more personal, to in-depth affirmations, such as, “You are loved and you are worth it.”
Sometimes hearing it from someone else is a huge help, and there’s plenty of videos like that on YouTube – simply search “Positive Affirmations” and you’ll find tons of them!
Peaceful affirmations will help you stay positive.
2. Meditation
You might feel a bit silly doing meditation the first time around, but it’s actually so good for you. Not only does it help you focus on breathing, but it also slows down your heart rate, helps you relax, and can prepare you for a good night’s sleep.
Did you know practicing meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety?
One study found that nearly 1,300 adults from a meta-analysis found that meditation decreased their anxiety. Amazing, right? That something so Simple, can be so Powerful.
3. Start the Day with Gratitude
Wake up every day on the right side of the bed.
Thank God (or whatever higher power you may believe in) that you were able to wake up for one more morning and make the best of your day ahead.
Maybe even plan your day in your head, ponder all the great things you’ll do.
Think about how great you’ll feel after your day is finished and you can reward yourself with a good night’s sleep and wake up again tomorrow morning.
This is technically a form of positive affirmation, and not only is it great for increasing your feeling of gratitude, but it also helps to keep yourself feeling regularly inspired.
Practicing all of these things can help you forget all about New Year’s resolutions and whether or not you are sticking with all the things you promised yourself….
But more importantly, it provides you with a New DAILY Promise, to enjoy your body, life, family, job, etc. that you have been blessed with…helping to maintain the balance you desire in your mind, body, and soul.
Maybe it’s Mindset holding you back, or maybe it’s something else?
