As hard as it may be to believe, we only have about 4½ months left in 2021! Considering how much this year has thrown at us so far, that could be a relief to some in the overall scheme of things right?

Well as much as we may be ready to swipe the slate clean of this year, there are still some things to think about. How many of your goals have you really been working on and how many stalled in motion months ago? Things happen, I get it. But stumbling is no reason to throw in the towel. So, you may not be exactly where you wanted to be at this point in the year, the question is, what are you going to do about it? Here are a few steps to help you get back in the game:

  • Find your original goal list to reassess what you planned as well as your status on each item. There is always a chance that some of your goals have changed over the past few months.
  • Didn’t have a written plan in the first place? That’s ok, take the time to write one now. I know, I know, some people make fun of writing it down. But it works, ok? Putting it in writing helps you determine what is important to you. Changing it from a thought to a goal.
  • Now, take those goals and break them down. What small things can you do each day, week, or month to put the wheels in motion?
  • Let’s take it a step further now, put concrete dates next to each of those goals. For example, if you want to go back to school, lets be proactive here. You will research schools and make a choice by a certain date. Enroll by another date. Etc. You get the idea.
  • Find an accountability partner if needed. This can be your spouse, best friend or a relative. It doesn’t matter. But it needs to be someone you trust. Someone that will hold you to the fire when you make excuses not to meet your preset goal dates. They will also be some of the first people that you can celebrate your wins with!

This list is just a guideline to get you refocused. But let’s be honest, it really will come down to you making the decision to stop making excuses and go after the life you truly desire. What is your go to method of reaching goals? Do you have a particular goal for 2021 you still want to reach? Drop me a message, I would love to hear all about your plan of action. Let’s do this!

Quite simply, I have to accept something about myself. I have very little tolerance for people who complain all the time, always negative, don’t seem to be happy with one thing in their life…and yet, they are doing nothing about it.

They hate their jobs, kids are out of control, relationships are bad or nonexistent. Yet they are not doing anything about it?! If you are not doing anything to change it, why complain about it? Really?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m the Queen of Stressing. Life has kicked me down more times than I can count. Things have made me devastated, cry or feel as if I’m at my wits end. But despite that, I still try to figure out what I’m going to do. Its called getting up, dusting yourself off and figuring out your next move. I am always trying to figure out new ways to challenge myself, improve things in my life. Sitting around complaining without trying to figure out a plan will solve nothing. All that energy is better channeled in figuring out a game plan.
