Do This One Thing Before you Set Your Next Goal in Motion
We are just about at the end of another year. Over the years I have got better at closing circles. Today, I want to share with you some tips for tying up loose ends. It is a powerful practice to complete projects. We increase our will power, or staying power, by meeting our goals.
Procrastination seems to be something we all struggle with. Everyone I know, including myself, puts things off. We are awesome at making excuses why we can't do the thing we need to do. We spend more time and energy avoiding what we need to do, than the time it would take to do the thing!
Most of our goals require simple, consistent daily action. Often the thing we need to do takes fifteen minutes a day. Maybe up to an hour. But we spend weeks, months, years, sometimes decades putting it off.
In these last few days of the year, I invite you to sit down with a pen and paper and sketch out which circles in your life need closing. Which projects have you left open? What goals need tending to? Make a list of action steps. Take one before the end of the year.
Continue to take action steps towards finishing what you started.
If you realize you have started things that no longer have value or meaning, close them. Let it go.
Get clear in your mind what actions you need to take to complete any cycles you feel need closing. Once you tie up loose ends from the past year you will feel you have more energy for new goals.
Each year I am re-fining the same basic goals. Tying up loose ends is a great way to re-focus and re-adjust to how things are evolving and where you are at today.
The beginning of the year is a fantastic time to set intentions and be clear about goals. If you want to join my Vision Boarding workshop, we will be honing in on our vision for 2023.
