Get Started

New Year's Resolutions.... Get Started!

New Year's Resolutions... We all make them. 

This Year I will.... 

Lose Weight and Get Fit, Get Organised, Save Money, Pay Debt, Travel, Enjoy Life, Study, Change Jobs, Spend time with the Family... 

Sound Familiar?

Many of us start, but we don't finish. Some of us don't start at all. 

Then there are some of us that get as far as making a list and wait. We wait for the right time, a green light, a sign.... 

Are You waiting on something? You can STOP the waiting and Get Started.

Before we Get Started, let's look at Why? Why don't New Year Resolutions work? 

Many of our Resolutions and Goals we set are either too vague or seem too big and most of the time they are too broad. Take for example the famous and typical "Lose Weight" resolution. 

Many make resolutions that are "Large-scale" and while I encourage you to think and dream big... We need to understand and acknowledge that the "Big" cannot be accomplished with just ONE simple habit change or adjustment. It's a process and it takes time.

The Big, bold resolutions and change - needs to start with small simple changes. If you focus on just one "Big Goal" and break it down to do one small act for today, the week or the month, and build on it as you go along, you will find that you are making progress and actually will achieve that "Big Goal". 

Thinking Big and Starting Small is a concept for achievement that Entrepreneurs, Innovators and Change Leaders understand. 

So how do we make New Year's Resolutions that work and ones we can actually commit to? 

Get Started...

We can Never Finish what we Never Start. 

Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about how to start, get too overwhelmed that we actually don't start. At times we can find ourselves in indecision and again get overwhelmed with big, drastic changes we need to make or the time it will take, so we stay where we are.

Procrastination and Perfectionism get in our way.

Have you set New Year's Resolutions? What is it that stopped you from starting?

The other huge factor is ... FEAR.

The fear of failure. The fear of not finishing what you started or reaching the goal. The fear we are not capable. The list goes on.

So Let's do it differently this Year. Let's focus on ONE thing.

Here are a Few Tips and Questions to Get Started:

• Pick ONE thing you want to do, work on and start. What is that ONE thing for you? What is that ONE thing you really want to achieve in 2017?

• Let Go and Forget - Forget 2016. Let go of what didn't work or what didn't happen. This is all the clutter and baggage you don't need to bring into your 2017. To make a start - you need to start fresh, clear and new. Even if you are picking up something you previously started and stopped. 

• Get a Crystal Clear Picture of what you want to achieve. Take time to reflect on this and write down all the details. Where do you want to end up - your end result? Once you understand your end result, you will get clarity on where you need to begin. 
• Get the picture of the end result, fast forward to the end of 2017.
• What will you be? 
• What will you have done? 
• How will you feel? This is your chance to create a unique picture of your intended direction and purpose that will come to life as the year progresses. In your answers, you will find what you need to get started and what you need to be about. 

• Make January a month of reflection, planning and motivation to get started on what really matters to you the most. Take action in February.

• And Now.... Get Started

Maybe it is time for you to: Get fit and healthy, Start the Business, Save more money and get out of debt, Restore relationships, Make time for yourself, family and friends

Whatever it is for you, what you need to do is "Get Started". Is there something you already started and left undone? 

We all have something we want to do and achieve. Look ahead to the reward - your end result. 

Now... 

Make it Happen 

Here is Your Motivation and Planning for January - Let's put this all to work.

After selecting your ONE thing you really want to do or achieve, letting go of past year's clutter and baggage, getting the crystal clear picture of what you want to achieve and where you want to be, you....

1. Start Where You Are
• What do you want to be different in your life?
• What is ONE thing you will do to start this change?
• What will happen when this change occurs?
• How will you feel?
• Envision your future beyond the surface level goal.


2. Use What You Have
• What do you have right now that you can use? 
• What is in your control to use and do? 
Zero in on the things that you have right now that are in your control to do, the things you can influence and change. Have an open mind while reflecting and acting on this.


3. Do What You Can
• What can you do now? 
• What will work for you now? 

Decide on what you can do to get started - no matter how small. Make that one change and commit to it. Ask, What will work for me? We are all motivated in different ways. Explore what works for you and what doesn't and then adjust, but don't give up.

We all get one shot at Life....

Once you take one simple step, the rest will follow and reveal itself at the right time. The ordinary will become extraordinary. If you commit and build on what you do month by month you will progress and see change. But first, you need to Get Started.

We can Never Finish what we Never Start.

It's time to Get Started... 

When our goals seem too audacious - extremely bold or daring - our brains will find a good reason not to begin... So instead of New Year's Resolutions, follow this simple plan month-by-month and build on it. 

Start where you are, Use what you have and Do what you can. Get Started. With time you will find that you have achieved your goals and your dreams become a reality.

How will you Get Started in 2017?

The New Year Ahead: New Beginnings and a Fresh Start

It’s not the movement of the clock that brings about change. 

Time keeps ticking and it doesn’t stop for anyone or anything.

It’s the movement of your mind – the shifts in your perspective and focus that bring about the changes in you – changes in your life.

So on reflection of the past year:

• What went wrong – Leave it, Let it Go and throw it Behind you, learn the lessons and don’t repeat them.
• What went right – Celebrate and take notes to Move Forward.

All that has happened: What’s been said, what’s been done, you cannot change the past and you will see it No more...

You are here Now – this is your time to decide, do you want another year to pass you by... 

The question is do you want to remain where you are? Stay the same? Or do you want to be better? Do more? Move forward?

The truth is – everyone goes through change...

Let this year be the year you rise, become a higher expression of yourself – “The New Year, New Me”. Don’t let the habits of the past stop you from making forward change and progress.

What separates us is the desire to change. The decision we make regarding what we want most and what we won’t tolerate NO more. The passion and desire to get up and not to be where you are at anymore, to move forward, to make changes.

It’s the turning point when we say “I’m tired of doing what I always do. If I always do what I’ve always done, I will always be (or get what) where I’ve always been (got)".

Throw it all behind you – You are here Now. Still here, still standing and breathing. 

Start now where you are. Make the shift – decide who you want to be and what you want to accomplish.

Start Small – one thing, change one thing. The fact that you started with this decision, opens the way to many other areas of transformation.

New Attitude – New Mind. The real battle is in your mind. To actually make the decision. 

The mind – you sleep with it, get up with it, work, love, eat... everything flows and starts in the mind.  The battle ground is not the debt, money, other people, enemies or haters... 

It’s not what other people say about you, it’s what you say about you that matters. 

You’re defeated by what you say and think about YOU.

You are Here NOW.

This is Your Now to make a decision to make a change and move forward. The decision is important. You can have a New Year, but it won’t make a difference if you don’t have a new mind, a new perspective and focus.

You can buy a new car, but if you put the same old man in the new car, you will still have the old experience.

A New Life and change comes from a new mind and a new way of looking at your life. 

Don’t step into your year ahead – your future – and be thinking in your past. 

Don’t let the stains of the past year, be carried with you into the New and destroy your opportunity for New Beginnings and a fresh start.

Whatever happened - Let go of the old you now. Destroy it today. Don’t drag the same old mess into another New Year.
Make a ...

Start today, where you are Now – stay focused on what could be and look forward to what will become. Make the decision and move into your fresh start and new beginnings.

Sometimes all we need is a Fresh start.

So here it is ready for you to conquer: 

New Beginnings – My New Life Chapter 1... and so the adventure begins... 

A New Year is a New Beginning and a Fresh Start
