4 Things to Do Before The End of The Year
People are often excited for the New Year because it’s another year ahead to take a fresh start and accomplish new goals. But, before we make the official countdown here are 4 simple things that you can do before the year ends.
1. Take a social media break before choosing your goals
Social media is the creepy little friend that likes to tell you that you’re not active enough, pretty enough, going big enough… and after a while of hearing these messages, it’s difficult to set goals.
Taking a break from social media makes it easier to hear your inner voice and choose the best goals for you. I recently read 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week, a book about the benefits of taking a day to unplug as well as an example of how to spend that time.
2. Get your free credit report
Yes, credit can be a scary thing. But, a #girlboss understands that finances should always be a priority. Understanding your credit score can help you make better financial decisions. Know where you are starting so you can make appropriate financial goals for the New Year. You can get a free report on Annual Credit Report.com.
3. Be grateful
Write down 3 things that went really well for you this past year. That's it. As human beings we have a tendency to focus on the negative. Make sure you include things that went well that you never planned to happen. For instance, we had no idea that so many people would sponsor #VisionCon. Talk about a total win. If you want to include more feel free too.
4. Get rid of the negative
Write down 3 things that are not working out for you anymore. Maybe it’s a boyfriend that needs to go. Or a friend that is no longer supportive of you and endeavors. Reflect and be honest with yourself, I know it won't be easy. I personally made the decision to stop pursuing one of my side hustle ideas. That particular one didn’t feed my passion. So it was hard to summon the energy to keep it up. That was my signal to let it go and redirect my energy.
Having a vision is more than dreaming about it. A vision requires actionable steps if you really want to make a difference in your life. The goal is to take that one step towards living your dream life.
Happy New Year in advance! It’s gonna be a great one. ;)
