These 3 tips can lead to change that actually sticks! Give it a shot for 2024 {NAME}, call me an optimist⦠But I have a history of making some pretty lofty New Year's resolutions. ð
Maybe you can relate? I remember once, I vowed to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. (An interesting choice, considering all of our kids were under 6 at that point.) The year before that, I swore Iâd give up caffeine cold turkey⦠And just last year, I told myself I wanted to discover a new hobby and stick with it. (RIP to my hockey phase. ð) My point is â weâve all made audacious goals in the past⦠And thatâs why New Yearâs resolutions are famous for âfizzlingâ: Because big, sweeping changes are nearly impossible to make! So this year, I decided NOT to make a list of âtraditionalâ resolutions. Instead, Iâm focusing on 3 REALISTIC ways to focus on self-improvement in 2024 (and I invite you to do the same). The exercises Iâm about to share can lead to real life differences that are attainable, thoughtful, and even fun! So letâs dive right in with number 1:
 1. Use a âguide wordâ Instead of choosing a specific goal for 2024, find a âguide wordâ that captures the mindset you want to have in the coming year. This word should ânudgeâ you towards positive change whenever you think of it. For example â letâs say you want to slim down. Instead of starting a crash diet once January 1 rolls around, choose a guide word like ânourish.â This word reminds you to nourish your body with healthy options instead of junk food â helping you adopt a positive, realistic mindset around your goal. (I even had a client who told me always forgets to apply her skincare products regularly â so this year, her guideword is âconsistency.â) Personally, I want to be more intentional about how I spend my time in 2024⦠So Iâve selected âbalanceâ as my guide word. That way, I can focus on new opportunities while staying mindful not to overcommit myself. Just donât forget: Your guide word can change! Start by picking the word that resonates most with you â but donât be afraid to adjust it as your priorities shift. 2. Make âNew Month Resolutionsâ One of the biggest reasons traditional New Yearâs resolutions donât work is because they force us to make DRAMATIC changes all at once⦠Which is pretty much just a recipe for failure. So instead of setting one HUGE goal for 2024⦠Make a series of short-term, 30-day goals. Not only is this more realistic⦠But the satisfaction of completing your goals each month can give you the momentum to stay motivated all year long. For example, in January, I want to declutter my desk⦠In February, Iâm aiming to get my taxes done⦠And in March, I want to visit family back home in Wisconsin. Setting these smaller goals in advance helps free your mind of worry, because you know you've already designated time to accomplish them! 3. Create a 2024 âTo-Donâtâ List This method is all about setting healthy boundaries by deciding whatâs OFF the table for you in the New Year. Maybe you want to cut down on screen time⦠Or resist the urge to skip your skincare routine before bed. In my opinion, a "To-Don't" list makes self-improvement SO much more approachable⦠Because it pinpoints specific habits to steer clear of. (Just remember, this method isnât about restricting yourself. Itâs about focusing on what brings you fulfillment!) {NAME} â whatever you want to accomplish in 2024, I encourage you to give it some real thought over the next couple of days⦠And if youâre comfortable, Iâd LOVE to hear what goals you settle on. So whether you decide on the perfect guide word⦠Figure out some âmonthly goalsâ you want to tackle⦠Or craft the perfect âTo-Donâtâ list⦠Hit âreplyâ to this email â and tell me all about it! I hope that by ditching rigid resolutions⦠And adopting a more approachable mindset for the new year⦠You can head into 2024 excited for all the meaningful changes to come. Youâve got this!
