Everyone wants to experience good in their life, and whether 2023 was a good year for you or not, most likely you are looking to 2024 to be better. Here are 6 sure ways to move beyond 2023 and experience all the best in 2024.
- Unmask the Drag: What is holding you back? Is there an attitude, habit, mindset, relationship, or influence in your life working against the direction you want to go? Name it. Don’t let it keep alluding to you.
- Confess & Conquer: Be honest with yourself and with someone you trust about the negative pattern or influence this thing or person is having on you. Bringing the “it”, whatever it is, into the light with someone else will break its power. It will no longer feel so heavy, impossible, or daunting.
- Leave it in the Dust: Be willing to part ways with what is keeping you from moving forward. You don’t have to continue thinking the same thoughts, doing the same things, hanging out with the same people, watching and listening to the same news or social media content. Change your input and you will change your output.
- Flip the Script:
Life change is not just about emptying your hands and letting go of what no longer serves you or what you have outgrown. It also includes holding out your hands to reach for something else to fill them. Something better, Find the opposite of what you have been thinking, doing, or saying. Replace the negative with the positive. Lies with truth. Sickness with health. Isolation with relationships. Fear with love—anxiety with peace. - Find Your Beacons: What we focus on develops. If you need hope, inspiration, or ideas of what is possible beyond what you have currently experienced, seek out others who are experiencing what you want. Follow them. Study them. Their stories and models will fill you with vision, hope and faith for the impossible to happen in your life, just like it happened for them.
- Don’t Give Up: Our culture lends to the idea that we can have what we want instantaneously. But anything valuable or worthwhile in life takes effort and time. Your future is good. Gird yourself for a journey and not a destination. Take encouragement along the way. Celebrate milestones.
