Happy MONDAY! TGIM! QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day." THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We are 37 days into the new year! How are you doing with everything? You might have tried to change some things about yourself. You might not. I have been listening to a couple of gurus on habit change and they kind of said the same thing. If you want to start a new habit do the following: 1) Make it a really small and really easy thing. 2) After you do it, celebrate that you did do it. 3) Tell yourself you are the type of person that does this new habit. For instance, say you wanted to start flossing your teeth. Make the goal really easy. Say, I am just going to start by flossing one tooth on the first day. Then when you floss the one tooth, celebrate that! You did it! You flossed one tooth. Then say I am the type of person that flosses my teeth. Don't say I am going to meditate for 60 minutes a day in 2023. Make the goal to meditate one minute a day. And then celebrate that. If you make the goal really easy, you are more likely to do it. And once you do it, you can create some momentum around these small wins. And once you get the momentum, you can think of maybe adding other things or making the goal bigger. Does that make sense? Have you heard this advice before? Do you have any new goals for 2023? Do you have any new goals for the first Quarter of 2023? Happy Monday!
