2024... Ring it in!
Go Hard or go home
I heard we’re not “greeing for anybody in 2024” and as funny as that sounds it’s a good way to practice being assertive. Let’s just not be rude or insensitive to others while standing on business.
Going through my goals for the year scared me yesterday because “the pressure is getting wersser". I used a template that was shared by my church (See link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EvjPBfFmt_PM03fRGVpKAih3m_Yf7Sg8czv0Gk5A2uo/edit?usp=sharing). The honesty required to put them together was a lot! but I did it. Unfortunately, I will not be sharing my goals yet, but I have 5 tips for you to be more accountable to yourself this year and 3 things I thoroughly enjoyed this week.
5 Things…
Be honest with yourself about the things you think you want. This might look like second-guessing but it’s just a self-interogation. Do I want to be in a relationship or enjoy the performance of romance I have seen in the media? Is japa the solution to my problems or do I want to earn enough to be with my friends abroad? Do I need a new job to earn better or do I need to seek more opportunities to do so online?
Keep your word, especially to yourself. One of my goals last year was to learn how to swim but I consoled myself with the gym because I thought the goal was about fitness the goal was to swim on vacation. Swimming is back on the vision board this year and a timeline has been set. Doing what you say you will for yourself helps you hold other people accountable in your relationships.
Practice making hard decisions by consistently making easy decisions. If my goal is to lose weight and my diet/lifestyle would not encourage me to do so, I would consistently take walks and eat at regular hours every day for about a month before joining the gym. Gym workouts would be easier to adhere to if I already walk daily.
Find a positive perspective on most decisions you make. (Fill in the example gap here)
This may sound cliche but Enjoy Yourself. The things that make you you come from your experiences, your character, the people you surround yourself with, and things you have. If you haven’t gotten around to enjoying these things, how will you enjoy your own company? Not enjoying yourSELF is holding you back from enjoying life with others and how can you be accountable to yourself when you have no incentive?
3 Things I enjoyed this week…
Pretty Woman https://bit.ly/prettywomanwatch: Deliciously romantic and lighthearted enough for a good laugh. I will be rewatching as many times as possible.
Taking my family to lunch on my dime🎉🎉🎉: who would have thought that my dad would certify my government as “the best!”. If I knew it would be that easy, I would have done it earlier.
Writing public-ish notes in my Bible App whenever I read something that doesn’t quite make sense to me. Yes, I know it’s a holy book! but people wrote it, I’m allowed to reserve my thoughts on it where necessary.
Oh well, this was fun! catch you next week with the reason why we listen to music and other gists that arise from resuming at the Hub. This week, some people didn’t show up against better advice from HR. There were consequences
