Happier New Year

Are you settling into 2021 and the new year? The new year signifies starting again, beginning fresh with new ideas, goals, resolutions, intentions or maybe picking your word of the year. With 2020 now in the rearview mirror, what do you want to create for your life in 2021?

Unfortunately, many people remain shell-shocked from the events of last year, including me from time to time. Just when one challenge was improving, another one came right on its tail. The good news is we now have the advantage of experience and time. We’re learning how to navigate, pivot, and adjust to a new normal.

I’m challenging you to consider how you want this year to look and feel for you. Do you want to feel confident, strong, happy, peaceful, joyous or love? Choose and decide exactly how you want your year to look then feel and focus on that outcome.

Our mind is very powerful and decides how our day will go. Granted, everything can’t be perfect, but by deciding how we want to feel can determine how we react to a situation and therefore, change everything. A terrible day can be turned around in an instant should you choose. How can you take a bad situation and find the gift? I promise you they are waiting for us to uncover.

Here are some ways to set your day up for success:

• wake up each morning feeling gratitude for something or someone

• set positive intentions for the day

• be prepared to find the gift in a negative situation

• laugh and make time for fun

• smile

Here’s making 2021 a happier new year! One thing I know to be true, is choosing love, confidence, joy, peace, happiness or strength sure beats the hell out of fear, frustration, anxiety and stress. We’ve got this! Once we set our minds to seeing and feeling positive, the goodness is waiting for us.
