What would you want to stop, start, or improve in the year to come? As the new year rings in, these thoughts fill the air everywhere. From a recent poll, here’s what Forbes Health reports as the most common resolutions for 2024:
What about you?
I will leave out the data on reaching these New Year’s resolutions, because, well…it’s historically not good.
Why?
In my experience, two factors impact reaching these goals—or not. And they turn out to be processes that are not common although we talk about the concepts often in Above the Fields of Play.
The first process is reflection built into the structure of your day. The second process is being resolute to your structure, to execute centered on your priorities.
Both processes are the heart of living on purpose, and further developing the intrinsic qualities that bring newness and meaning to each day. So, you don’t have to wait a year or a month. You can start today with these two processes. Build your daily structure based on your top priorities. These reflect how you value time and what matters most. Then reflect back each day on effort and improvement.
I wish you the best in 2024 and hope each day on your journey is the adventure you imagine.
Happy New Year!
