Jamie Galloway: Get A Jump Start On January: 10 Steps To Your Best Year Yet


Well, a star didn’t end, and 2013 is usually around a corner. With a new year comes new hurdles and opportunities. If you’re like me, a finish of Dec is a good time to reassess, reset and come during life with uninformed appetite and renewed proclivity on Jan. 1.

Like all opportunities, however, it needs to be seized, and with all a comings and goings of a holidays and a insane hasten to get behind to work, life and normality on Jan. 2, a good intentions can get mislaid in a shuffle.

The good news is that removing on a right trail before a round drops takes zero some-more than a pen, paper and 30 mins of still time. Ready? Let’s begin.

1. Be Grateful

I became an uncle for a initial time in September. Amazing, right? I’m already so unapproachable of my nephew and can’t wait to watch him grow. Also, my relatives visited me in California for a initial time this year, and we had a smashing 10 days together creation memories that will stay with me forever.

I’m beholden for these things, and for staying healthy, my understanding friends and amatory partner. What are we beholden for in 2012? Health, family, your dog, carrying good hair, Words With Friends? Whatever it is, write it down and wash in your thankfulness for a moment.

2. Give Yourself Some Credit

Let’s stay certain and give yourself a large pat on a back! What are we unapproachable of this year? Did we get a promotion, run a marathon, spend some-more time with your kids or arrange out your finances, watch an overwhelming sunrise?

Make a list of all a things we finished occur this year. Chances are, you’ve finished a lot some-more than we think. Remember, tiny victories are still victories.

3. Make Peace With Your Past

“If there is no resolution to a problem, afterwards don’t rubbish time worrying about it. If there is a resolution to a problem afterwards don’t rubbish time worrying about it.” — Dalai Lama XIV

It’s expected that there are things that happened in 2012 that you’d rather undo, forget about or pierce on from. So, let’s do that.

If we can repair a problem or pill a situation, make a devise and get started. If we can’t, what can we learn from it? Chalk it adult to knowledge and start relocating on. Pushing things aside or sanctimonious they’re not function will swamp we down later.

Make assent with your past, transparent a deck, chuck divided aged container and make room for what’s coming.

4. This Time Next Year

So you’ve taken batch of 2012 and put it orderly and happily to one side. What now? The best approach of operative out what we wish to do about 2013 is to daydream where we wish to be with your life one year from now. Start scribbling ideas down… debt-free, promoted, have $10,000 in savings, bought my initial home, took a outing to Europe.

Making this list will assistance when it comes to environment your goals, and will also be good to demeanour during again subsequent December, display we what you’ve achieved and what still needs work.

5. Get Motivated

I make a list of motivating factors and demeanour during it once a month. It’s kept on my phone and helps me stay focused if we strike a severe patch. Here’s my 2012 list to give we some ideas:

  • The ability to support my family and friends.
  • Being an equal to my partner.
  • Financial security.
  • Respect from my peers.
  • Helping my clients grasp their goals.
  • Travel!

Ask yourself what drives we forward, a reasons we get adult in a morning. Consistently remind yourself of them and use them to make a things we wish to happen, happen.

6. Put It Out There

What do we want? Whatever it is associated to — career, relationships, family, finances — make a list and put it out there to a universe. Knowing what we wish is vicious to your success.

Don’t consider of this as a decisive list of goals that we contingency make occur this year. View it as a beam and let it develop and be gentle with usually checking a few things off. You might find that during a finish of subsequent year your priorities have shifted anyway.

7. Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail

Whatever you’re looking to accomplish in a subsequent 12 months, it’s critical to delineate a plan. Once we have a idea in mind, lay down and figure out how to make it a reality. Ask yourself questions like: Where can we get help? How prolonged will this take? What are a costs? Who do we know that can support me? What’s my initial step? Break things down into small, easily-achievable tasks and allot execution dates if applicable.

8. Accountability And Support

It’s not formidable for your good intentions to go out a window once a existence of Jan kicks in, though there are ways of preventing this. Put a note in your calendar to demeanour during your goals and motivators during a start of any month, or hang them on a refrigerator. Reviewing them will assistance we stay a course.

Share your goals with someone we trust, and have them check in with we spasmodic to see what swell you’re making. You might even find that they have identical goals we can work on accomplishing together.

9. Reward Yourself

Setting career or aptness goals is great. So is saving income or finishing adult projects around a home. But when environment goals and creation plans, be certain to set aside time to indulge yourself and acquire a prerogative or dual along a way.

Lost 10 pounds? Get a massage or some new clothes. Exceeded your monthly assets goal? Take your partner or best crony out to dinner. It’s fine to indulge a small if you’ve warranted it.

Make time for your passions or for something new. Always wanted to play piano? Book some lessons. Tired of your golf clubs sitting new in garage? Dust them off and get behind on a course. It’s a brief year — suffer it.

10. Give Something Back

If you’re going to dedicate time and bid to improving your possess life, because not set aside a small time to assistance someone else. Volunteer work, assisting out an aged relations or neighbor, removing concerned in your village somehow, even usually donating to a gift we caring about. In assisting others, we assistance yourself.
