Okie Dokie, the trial month for 2020 is over…. February is well and truly here now. We can probably quit saying ‘happy new year’ and get on with it.
In fact, late last month we sent out our Kickstart 2020 Kit, with two of our first challenges for 2020. This was to help us get crackin’ into the new year, set ourselves up for success and hit the ground running.
The first 2020 challenge was to 'Get your Mojo Back’ by choosing a theme or mantra for 2020.
The purpose: To help guide our decisions and focus our energy and activities for the year towards what you want to achieve throughout the year.
After sending this out, I had to think long and hard about what I wanted to achieve this year, personally and professionally.
And after much consideration, and thinking about the various projects and activities I want to achieve, I have decided in order to make them happen, my mantra for 2020 is: ‘Think Bigger!’
And my strategy to make this happen is #JFDI! Just f@?king Do It!
Is there anything in your world that you’ve really wanted to do, but haven’t given it a crack….yet? or perhaps there is one thing you know you really need to do, as it will help you achieve your goals, but you keep putting it off?
I bet there is! Procrastination. We all do it, some of us more than others.
If so, perhaps you too could embrace #JFDI, as your strategy to help give you the boost you need.
But here’s the tricky bit. If we do embrace JFDI, it means:
We have to be Gutsy.
We have to Be Brave.
We have to be prepared to Let Go of things that are holding us back.
For me: I have to be prepared to let go of my perfectionism (“I will write that book once I know 100% the angle I want to take”)
I have to stop listening to my inner critic (“who are you to talk about that topic?”)
I have to stop worrying about what others might think (“really? she’s over 40 and she is doing Hip Hop, really?”)
I have to smash some limiting beliefs (mine or others) (“ohhh I am too old to learn that, plus I don’t have enough time!”)
I definitely have to quit worrying if things won’t work out (“but what happens if we try this new online program and it doesn’t work?”)
Ironically, these are all barriers I help other people smash, in order for them to shine, and yet are all things that have been holding me back and allowing me to procrastinate and play it safe.
So’s here’s to THINKING BIGGER in 202O and #JFDI in order to make that happen!
Love to hear your theme for 2020, drop me a line or feel free to share on our socials.
Until next time, #JFDI…
P.S: I am excited as since deciding on: "Think Bigger" and using my #JFDI strategy, I have enrolled into a 10-week Spanish course (something I have wanted to do for years and kept putting off) AND I have also signed up to adults hip hop class. yup…. you read correctly. Hip Hop!
P.S 2: And happy to report, both, so far, have exceeded my expectations and I have had a ball in the process!! Happy days.
#JFDI & make it happen!
What's preventing you from getting what you want?
Is there anything in your world that you’ve really wanted to do, but haven’t given it a crack? Or, perhaps there is something you know you really should do, but you keep putting it off? Procrastination. We are all guilty at times of giving in to this strategy, as it keeps us safe. But when we do it, what are we missing out on?
What would it mean to you if you achieved it?
