Taking Control of 2024: Why My New Year Starts Later

Click below to listen to this post.

Let me tell you, these past few weeks have been a whirlwind of busy times for me, and that’s not even counting the holiday buzz! So, I’ve decided to cut myself some slack and moving forward, I’ll be kicking off my New Year on January 8th, or maybe even the 15th. Why not, right? Motivation can come any time!

I’m thinking some extra chill time sounds pretty good. The first week of January is always jam-packed with work stuff for me, and squeezing in time for New Year planning? Almost impossible. So, I’m saying January 8th/15th is my new January 1st!

Maybe you want to do the same? Soak in the New Year vibes, get some space from the hubbub, and then get focused on your plans for the New Year. Doesn’t that sound divine?

One of the things that had been occupying my time, (as you are acutely aware of by the emails I’ve been sending 😉), was my kick off of this year’s live round of Design Your Dream Life this week. I’ve got some seasoned trailblazers who are working the program again as well as a bunch of new go-getters. And it’s been awesome.

I’ve been going through some student workbooks I’m getting a buzz from their BHAGs for the year! There’s so much hope and excitement in their words and I am pumped to be riding shot gun as they navigate this journey. It makes motivated to up my game!

I’m a big believer in surrounding yourself with people who lift you up and make you appreciate the good in life and to steer clear of any negative vibes that drag us down. We don’t need that clutter in our lives!

So, here’s a little food for thought for you this week – think about the five people you hang out with the most, in person or virtually. Are they more of an inspiration or a downer? Do you have some relationship clutter to clean up?

Because you absolutely deserve to be surrounded by good vibes and encouragement.

Here’s to making the most of our New Year, whenever it starts!
