The holiday season began last week with Thanksgiving, and we are already a week into December, which is the time of year when you may find yourself putting off task using the excuse that it’s the holidays.
You wait until new year’s eve to set those resolutions that often fall short a few months into the new year.
So how can your “slowing down to enjoy the season” work for you?
Do you find yourself scrambling to get back on track when the new year arrives because you were putting off a task that could have been completed during the holiday season?
Often this is the problem.
Fun leads to a lack of focus, and without direction, you forget the importance of the daily goals set to move you into the next version of you, whether it’s financial, wellness, career, relationships, etc.
What if you took this time to gear up for an incredible new year now instead of waiting? Yes, you can start today!
December is a great time to start gaining momentum for the new year because your excitement for a holiday, usually a higher-than-normal frequency, can drive more optimism into your goals and dreams for the new year.
Start Now.
Who says you must wait for the ball to drop to make plans? Usually, people do, though.
And then January comes, and it is a fast-paced, overwhelming time trying to figure out how to achieve all the goals and dreams.
Eliminate the Stress!
Most of the time, the stress of wanting goals and dreams to happen immediately becomes overwhelming and disappointing such as:
- Join a gym at the start of January, and you will stop going by February.
- Start a budget, and they blow their budget when the credit cards come rolling in from the holiday charges.
- Set out to have a positive attitude, maybe even select a “word” for the year, to feeling defeated by mid-January.
If you can stop and focus in December on your goals and dreams for the new year while your energy frequency is higher, you can accomplish them faster than you ever have.
So the choice is up to you!
You can take advantage of the high-frequency energy in December and start getting your momentum moving toward your new year goals and dreams, or you can just shut down and say it’s the holiday and there’s nothing to be done.
Remember that slowing down is okay, but stay intentional with your daily activities. Creating a plan in December jumpstarts your year, and it doesn’t have to seem like work. It can be as joyful as you intend it to be.
Remember: Life is a journey that is always in motion, don’t delay what you can do today by waiting for tomorrow.
