How to Get The Life You Want in 2024
Ready for the new year and to create the life you really want? This vision may include big and/or small changes, regardless, it is worth creating a plan for how you can reach this goal you have for yourself! It is possible and you can do it! Here is how:
What is the vision you have for the life you want? Think about this carefully and map it out for yourself - create a vision board or store the plan in a journal so that you can keep going back to it. Having a visual is so helpful!
Set goals - break your overall vision down into goals - e.g. saving $10,000, exercising 3 days per week or mastering a new hobby begins with setting a very intentional goal.
Break down your goals into steps you need to take in order to achieve them - e.g. have a certain amount automatically come off your pay and into a savings account, get a gym membership or trainer and don’t forget to schedule the time in your calendar for your new skill sessions.
Think about the challenges that may have held you back if you have tried to achieve these goals in the past - maybe you need to revisit your budget and see where you can make cuts in order to save, you didn’t prebook your gym sessions so it was easy to not go, you haven’t prioritized your hobbies in the past. Work towards ways you can foresee the challenges you may have and what you will do to overcome them.
Hold yourself accountable - tell someone you trust what you are working towards and ask them to check-in with you from time to time. Celebrate the small wins! Your first automated savings come out, yay! You got a gym membership, awesome! You learned a song on your guitar, well done!
Just go for it, what have you got to lose!? Remember that set backs happen and they are ok, you are human and life happens and challenges can make things seem hard. Here is the reality - you are in charge of the life you live, you get to make the choices and the changes. You really can create and live the life you want, you just have to put the work in and reap the rewards! If you need help getting started, I am only one message away;
