On the days building up to January 1st
did you find yourself having visions of how your life might be different this year?
It’s not silly, frivolous or childish.
Having goals and dreams and aspirations is what keeps us motivated, keeps us moving forward, and keeps us alive!
Making your self and your life better is not only going to benefit you, my friend.
It will benefit those around you, I guarantee it. Even if it’s not obvious to you how that might happen. These dreams and aspirations are not silly thoughts running around in your head. It is your higher self talking.
You can be all that you envision.
What makes a dream different from reality? Action.
Do something small today. Send a message out into the world, send a message to your SELF, that you’re serious about making this change.
Just one small step
today is all you need. Then repeat that tomorrow and the next day and the next day. You don’t have to shift your entire life at once (in fact I highly discourage it). For anything that you want to accomplish, big things come out of small, consistent movements in that direction.
Don’t worry
if your efforts will last longer than today or longer than a week. Don’t envision how hard it might be or how you might fail. Just start now and start with the good intention that it will last as long as you want it to.
Here’s how you can make it easy –
Just decide:
What days of the week will you take action?
What time of the day will you take action?
OR
What will be your signal to take that action? Maybe your action happens right after your morning coffee, dropping off the kids, or before you shower… link your action to something you already do.
Whether or not your change is something you can schedule, decide today that you’ll
make the right decision,
at the appropriate time,
and
take action in the right direction.
Start today.
At the very latest, tomorrow. Don’t over-think it. When you take the action, give yourself a pat on the back, and
then get on with the rest of your amazing life.
Turn Your Dreams Into Reality:
Take small steps
Every day.
You can do it.

I like that you place the personal responsibility on TAKING ACTION… that is the thrust of almost a decade of my life and business coaching practice, 4-Dimensional Success. Carry on! 🙂 ~ A
Anna, thanks for visiting and for commenting with your wisdom. Having a masters’ in Exercise Physiology and in business, I see so many similarities in what it takes to succeed in business and what it takes to succeed in fitness and health. I think it’s fascinating.
Awesome post! It’s almost as if you were reading my thoughts Lucy :). My 2014 Mantra is PLAN, FOCUS. IMPLEMENT. The one thing that I would do differently this year is, as you mentioned, “don’t over-think it”. Thanks for the reinforcing message!
I’m so glad it struck a chord, Sheila. It seems to ring true for many people.. we think too much and it paralyzes us. I support you on that goal!
Great post Luci – 2014 is about making decisions and taking action!
Thanks, Celia. That’s a great mantra – “2014 is for taking action!”
