How To Start The Year With A Positive Mindset
Another mild day out here in the bamboo before the winter season gets here and it’s too cold to do this outside.
I want to talk to you today about… How To Start The Year Off With A Positive Mindset.
You know, it’s the holiday season and we’re all so busy. And, before we know it, we snap our fingers and the new year is here. But most times what happens is, we look at the new year and we’re lucky to make a quick new year’s resolution on new year’s Eve, about an hour before the ball drops.
We get to the new year and a resolution was something like I’d like to lose weight, or I’d like to take a vacation next year or improve this aspect of my job or that aspect of my job.
Then we get about three weeks into the new year and studies show that about 85% of people drop their resolutions and have gone back to their old habits. So now why does that happen?
You see what happens is, we usually go into the new year and most of us carry around the same baggage that we’ve had from last year. And we don’t focus on our mindset. Where really, our mindset should be the first thing we focus on.
So what I’d like you to do, instead of jumping right into the new year and just starting something off that you’re unsure about how you’re going to do, like lose weight or start an exercise program; I want you to start first, with your mindset.
This can be challenging. But in these last few weeks of the new year, because here we are in December, instead of just going into a new year and surviving the holiday season, what I’d like you to do is spend at least an hour each week for these last three weeks on your Mindset.
Now, I know you’re busy, but you can definitely do this. Spend an hour with pen and paper. And I want you to focus on what your goals are. And I want you to focus on your mindset because if you get your mindset right, everything else will follow.
And I want you to think about it this way.
What would you do, And what would your goals be,…
…If you knew you could not fail?
Now, I talk about my Focus Formula. The first part of my focus formula, when I’m doing my courses and when I’m coaching people is to focus on your mindset.
You’ve heard me talk about The Mindset Loop, where first it starts with your thoughts and beliefs and your thoughts and your beliefs lead to actions and your actions done repetitively are your habits. And what you do with your habits repetitively become your results.
…But it starts with your thoughts and beliefs about yourself.
So if you’re having stress and anxiety and you’re feeling overwhelmed, whether it’s the holiday season or the rest of the year, you should first, focus on your mindset.
First, you have to start to believe in yourself and have positive thoughts about yourself. To know that you’re strong enough to know that you are in control.
And if, in these last few weeks in the year, you focus on what your mindset is and then write your goals from there and write specific, clear, focused goals, you will see all the difference in the world this year.
And when you’re setting your goals, do it with pen and paper. I want you to be clear as you possibly can. It’s about finding clarity and setting clarity in your life.
So if you want to set a specific goal for yourself for this new year, set goals, right down to numbers and measurable events. If you want to get a higher salary, what salary would that be? And how would you do it? If you want to lose weight, what weight will you be? What are the amount of pounds that you will lose and how will you go about doing it? If you want to start a wellness program, how will you start that wellness program and what other steps? But you need to write it all down.
So I want you to do is focus on this year in a different way than you have in the past.
You’re going to focus on your Mindset.
George Lucas said,
“Always Remember, Your Focus Determines Your Reality”.
So if you focus on your mindset and you get clarity on what it is that you want specifically and what your goals are for the new year, you will go into the new year with a plan of action that you’ve never had before.
The through point that I use through all my teachings, In all my content is…
“Awaken Your Mind And See Clearly
The Path That Leads To
The Accomplishment Of Your Goals.”
…Mark Marino
Awaken your mind, focus first on your mindset, get clear in your thoughts and everything else will follow.
So again, this week, it was just a short message from the bamboo. And I hope this helped you get a little bit more focused on how you can use this holiday season to improve your new year and start the new year off with a positive mindset.
So again, take an hour each week with pen and paper, sit down, focus on your mindset. I want you to start out by writing out:
“I am strong. I am in control”.
And then I want you to write down specifically what it is you want to accomplish this year. And then you can plan out how you’ll make that happen.
Again. Remember my quote,…
“Awaken your mind and see clearly
the path that leads to the accomplishment of your goal.”
Focus first on your mindset and your beliefs about yourself and improve them. And then your actions will come from that. And you’ll have positive actions that come from your positive thoughts and beliefs about yourself that will lead to positive habits and give you positive results.
Have a wonderful Week!
Be Positive, Be Motivated, Be Focused and Be Well,
Have a great day.
