 This year really didn’t start off like many of us thought it would, actually I take that back,
I don’t think it started off like ANY of us thought it would. 2020 was supposed to be the year when our goals were going to be accomplished and when dreams were going to come true. Many of us were even claimed that 2020 was going to be the year of clear vision for our lives. Why can’t it still be all of these things? The year is not over yet and in all honesty this pandemic has actually given us the time we need to start working on the list of goals we had for 2020. Think about it! Before all of this we were complaining that we had no time to start that business, write that book, start a podcast, start a blog, spend time with our kids, organize our home, workout, look over our finances—the list can keep going. All of these things were put on hold for the simple fact that we were too busy and had no time to get them started. Well, one thing that 2020 has given us so far is time. We now have so much time on our hands that we do not know what to do with it, so put it to good use. Instead of waking up every morning, grabbing your cup of coffee and sitting on the couch. Migrate over to your computer and start working on those goals. Here are a few things to help you get started… 1. THE RIGHT MINDSET We are all human and when we are put in uncomfortable situations where we are not in control, we tend to think negatively. Stop thinking about what you can’t do right now and start thinking about what you can do. 2. LEAN ON EACHOTHER You are not alone in this. Unfortunately, the entire world is going through this uncomfortable situation at the same time and we all need people we can lean on. Call your friends and family daily and talk about the goals you will be working on. Get an accountability buddy and brainstorm some ideas via video chat. Encourage each other to think positively and to only worry about what we can control. 3. PUT IT INTO ACTION Remember that vision board you created in January? Pull it out, take a look at it and start writing down all the things you wanted to accomplish this year. Then, for each goal create a checklist of steps you need to take to get these goals completed. For example, traveling is something that many of us had on our vision board for this year. Obviously, right now we are not allowed to travel unless it’s essential for work purposes, however that doesn’t mean you can’t start planning for your trip. Look at flights, research hotels, create an itinerary with places to visit and restaurants to try. Then once you are able to travel, you’ll have everything planned out. You could possibly end up being your own tour guide. Even though we cannot control our situation right now and we may not know when things will go back to normal, there is one thing we can control and that is ourselves. Let’s come out of this stronger than we have ever felt and more in control of our lives. When all this is over, I want to see… New Businesses New Blogs New Podcasts New Videos Healthier Relationships A Better Relationship with God A Healthier Relationship with Ourselves. Don’t overwhelm yourself with trying to get it all done in one sitting or on the same day. Remember to be persistent, but gentle with yourself. After all, we are all going to a strange time and there is no “normal” expectation for you to live up to. None of this is normal. What will you be working on and how can I help?
