I’m sure we all agree 2021 was an eventful year to say the least. With covid infections, lockdowns, lost of jobs, it has been a year we couldn’t wait to end. But if you are here reading this blog, you made it through! Now, 2022 has approach and it’s a new opportunity for a new start. It’s the time of the year where we make new resolutions, telling ourself we will make better choice, better decision, than last year. Saying quotes to ourself such as ” A new year, a new me” while preparing vision boards in hopes of making our visions come true. This year can be amazing, but it depends on the effort you are willing to put into it. Here are 3 tips to make your 2022 your best year yet.
Show Gratitude
What better way to start your year off than to say “Thank you”. Showing gratitude is a universal law that some people don’t practice unless things are going “good” for them. But what if things are not going so well for you, do you still show gratitude? or do you spend your time complaining about what isn’t going your way. The truth is, if you are able to open your eyes in the morning, that’s more reason to be thankful. So often in life, we take the natural gifts The Most High God gives us for granted, thinking it’s suppose to happen. We are suppose to wake up. We even go as far as to make plans about future events, assuming we will be able to accomplish them but in all honesty, that’s not the case. To wake up each morning, is a gift that only The Most High God can give us. It’s our first gift of the day, to be able to wake up and if you have a peaceful mind, it’s a double gift that is given from Him. I usually start my day with a prayer and reading a spiritual word before getting out of bed. By doing this, I am in remembrance of how blessed I am to be where i’m at. Therefore, be thankful for where you are because some wish to be in your shoes. You may think your situation is the worse, but someone is praying just to be where you are. So be thankful for what you have and once you begin to show gratitude for what you have, then more will come. Be thankful and watch the blessings begin to pour in your life!
Eliminate Toxic People
We live in a world where being toxic is normal. People walk around, spewing negativity like it’s the correct thing to do. Most who are toxic, don’t realize they’re the toxic ones; it’s usually everyone else. Toxic people are dangerous and should be avoided at all cost! Not only are they dangerous for your health, but your mental well-being. The main agenda of the toxic one is to drain your energy, keeping the focus on them and less on you. How can you prosper in life with a toxic person around? How can you grow or elevate in your goals? The answer is you can’t! In order to have clarity of life, you must take out the trash! Everyone who comes into your life, isn’t meant to be there forever; some are placed in your life as a lesson. A lesson on how to be a better person, a better mate, better friend etc. Surround yourself with people who have a similar spirit as you. Someone who will bring positivity, joy, happiness, and prosperity to your life. Remember, life is about give and take, so don’t allow people to take from you without giving some in return. Remove these types of people and watch how beautiful life will begin to flow for you!
Set Goals
Setting goals is the foundation to having a successful life. In order to have better management of your time, you must set goals. Most people waste time because they have never set a goal or follow through with any. They spend their time, scrolling on social media, looking at other peoples’ lives. They waste even more time, going to dead in jobs, day in and day out, making pennines because there are no goals set. They have programmed their minds to believe the life they are living, is life. Well i’m here to tell you, It’s not life! In order to achieve the things you want, you have to have direction, and direction start with setting goals. This is why you see so many lifeless people, wandering around, because there is no direction. Their direction come from following others, instead of creating their own path. One of the best way to start with your goal setting is to create a vision board. I love vision boards because it helps you to see your goals in words and pictures. I suggest setting your vision board in a place where you can see it daily, reminding yourself of how hard you must grind. Another good tip in goal setting is to create a to-do list, and accomplish them daily. Writing out your daily goals, help bring order. With a to-do list, you see what you must do for that day, instead of wandering around lifeless. When you are able to plan, organize, and complete daily small goals, it’s preparation for bigger things. Setting goals brings order, and order brings results!
This year, put yourself first! Last year, it was about other things and people, but this year, make it about you. Use your time wisely and do great things with it. Remember, time is the one thing you can never get back! So start your greatness; create that business, start your weight loss journey, take that road trip, whatever you want to accomplish, make this year about getting it done. We all have to admit, last year was a tough ride, but you made it through, and stronger than ever. Speak positivity to yourself and only allow those with a positive mindset in your space. Go hard for yourself because no one is going to do it for you. Put The Most High God first, and yourself behind. Include Him in every aspect of your life decisions! This is your year and this year will be your best year yet!
