new year, new you.
As the new year rolls around, we all jump on the goal-setting bandwagon, and that's super dope. I'm a huge fan of dreaming big and having that ultimate vision. So, let's start with a little encouragement. Picture your life a year from now or even further down the road. Imagine every little aspect – the office you're working in, your bank balance, your mental and family well-being, what car, where you’ll live, the clothes you wear. All of it homie. Dive deep into this vision of your future self.
Now, with this vivid image in mind, let's talk about the nitty-gritty – your daily systems and processes. There's this wise author (whose name slips my mind) who said that your life is essentially the sum of your days. Wise words. So, let's break down what your everyday looks like because these days will eventually stack up to your ultimate goal of dopeness.
Take a nite out of James Clear's 'Atomic Habits.' The guy's an OG at making actions habits. Start with simple, sustainable habits. For instance, soaking up sunlight for five minutes isn't just about getting some vitamin D; it's about discipline, mental health, and tuning your body's clock. Similarly, reading daily isn't just about accumulating knowledge; it's about building discipline and challenging yourself. Building confidence through doing what you say you’re going to do.
So, commit to these small, manageable habits that resonate with your vision of the future. And remember, it's crucial to keep questioning and re-evaluating. Ask yourself if what you're doing is moving you closer to your vision or holding you back. Keep that dialogue with yourself going.
3 POINTS:
- Visualize your ultimate life - Get detailed about where you want to be in every aspect.
- Break it down - Convert that grand vision into daily, sustainable habits.
- Constantly reassess - Keep asking if each action is taking you closer to your goal.
