2023 can be your BEST year yet - or it can be a repeat of 2022. Remember if nothing changes - nothing changes.

This is why implementing is so important. You get to determine your future. You get to look back at 2023 with pride, joy and the feeling of success. Imagine how that would FEEL. Imagine how that would LOOK for you. 😍

So what do you need to DO? Here are my top 3 tips. 👇

Tip 1. Write a letter to yourself

You’ll open this on the 31st of December 2023. Talk about your hopes and dreams for yourself and how you imagine this year going.

Add in encouragement, how proud you are of yourself. Write down what’s in your heart, not the practical stuff in your brain.This is for you, written by you to be read by you. 💖

Once you’re done - tuck it away somewhere and forget about it until December 31st 2023.

Tip 2. Sit and think about your life

What’s working? What’s not? Think about 2023 and what you would like it to be? What areas would you like to grow in? Is this setting boundaries, is it around your health? Is it around life/work balance? Now choose a word or theme that encompasses this.

It can be HEALTH, BALANCE, CREATIVITY etc. Write this word on post-it notes and stick it EVERYWHERE to remind yourself.

Now every time you get asked to do something or an opportunity drops into your lap - think of that word and ask yourself “Will this task/opportunity allow me to achieve my focus?”.

If yes - then go for it. If no - politely decline.

Do this every day and by the end of 2023 you will BE that focus word. You will have made that massive shift in your life. Imagine that - how amazing, wonderful and freeing would that be

Tip 3. Get a calendar/planner for the whole of 2023

Go through and cross out the public holidays. Then;

✨add in when you are taking holidays (even if it’s just tentative)

✨add in 1 fun thing you are doing each month that’s just for you

✨ add in your exercise - make sure it’s fun (not just a punishment)

✨ add in 1 new thing you are going to learn each month. This doesn’t have to be about work or study. It should be about hobbies and fun

✨ add in time for connection. This should be once or twice each month. This might be with a partner/friend/family member. Connection is important for your mental health and we need to make time for it.

✨add in any events that you already have booked that are fun and make you smile

Make all the above non-negotiable. Everything else gets booked around these plans. Remember life happens whether you like it or not. Other people will want your time and energy. By prioritising YOU and making time for YOU and what you NEED, you create fun, joy, memories and happiness.
