Setting Goals and Making 2018 Your Best Year Yet

A funny thing happened to me last year which should not have surprised me. I write all my goals down at the beginning of the year, do my vision board, read positive motivational books and rewrite my goals every day.

Well guess what? Everything that I wrote down as a goal came true! It makes me think of a bird hovering over a fish and swooping down to catch it. If for one second, the bird takes its eye off the fish the fish is gone. We need to keep our eyes on the prize. Our words are powerful, our thoughts are powerful and where you put your thoughts energy follows.

Thinking back on 2017 I was most proud of myself as I had the best year ever. It started off a bit shaky as my dad had just passed and I was feeling the sorrow, but I decided to use his tenacity to get the job done. When I pondered my year I ask myself how did having a great year make me feel. Well I felt excited, proud, and energized. Looking to 2018 I would like more opportunities to grow, learn, and expand my personal, physical and spiritual health. I even signed up this year to do a Hot Pilates training to become a teacher!

Each one of us has unique strengths that allows us to be successful in our own way. My strengths that got me where I wanted to go are energy, excitement and focus. When I look towards 2018 I tell myself each morning that I can do anything I put my energy on. I like to be super focused by saying I am successful, I am happy etc… as what we say after I am, will follow.

So, ask yourself what were you most proud of in 2017? How did it make you feel? Three words. In 2018 what do you want more of?

What are your top 3 strengths that will help you get there? Lastly when you get up in the morning, what will you tell yourself?

Let’s make 2018 your best year ever!!!
