No one knows what the future holds, and with 2020 being such an unusual year, it can be tempting not to want to make any plans for the new year. We need to be hopeful and plan for things we have control over. Come and let’s plan how to make the most of the coming year.
Some key things to take into 2021
As we step into 2021, it is important that you set an intention of taking care of you and your mental wellbeing. Start by creating a daily routine of about 20 minutes in the morning and last thing before you go to sleep. Engage in activities in the morning that will fuel you with good vibes to start you day. For me this includes, meditation, praying, reading something inspirational, setting my intentions for the day, visualizing me having a good day and some exercise.
At the end of each day again in activities that will help you to wind down, calm you so that you can enjoy a good night’s sleep. I enjoy listening to relaxing music, writing down things I am grateful for and doing my one minute smilence.

Be Hopeful – believe and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So long as you are alive there is hope, things may not turn out the way you want it to be, but still have hope. I am hopeful my business will turn around and my diary will be filled with more bookings.
Be positive – Because you have hope, be positive that things will get better, and limit the amount of negativity you take in. Get a good perspective and understanding of things. I am positive of things being better by visualising and saying out positive affirmations about what I want to make happen.
Be resilient – you have coped with bad situations in the past, so you have it within you to accept, adjust and adapt to whatever life throws at you, and even if you have moments when you can’t cope, remember is ok not to be ok, and its ok to reach out and ask for help.
Be Consistent – If you are serious of making changes in your life, you can’t stop and start, you have to try to be consistent and keep going. Over the last month, realising that my diary for the first 3 months is looking blank as I don’t have much work coming into my business, I have been consistent everyday in revieing my business and coming up with new ideas to help me get some more bookings. I have been spending 3 hours every day on this.
Be an Action taker – things just don’t happen because you think of it, you have to be prepared to take action on a consistent basis. Use your diary and schedule time to do things do that it then becomes a habit. I tend to wake up every day about 5am and spend at least an hour getting myself ready for the day, and this includes planning things I will do at set times. I now do most of my house work on Saturdays, and during the week I block time slots for me time, time with the family, work time and creative time. I have certain days when I do things, so that they have now become habits.
Be Happy – In the midst of uncertainty and challenges, you need to strive to be happy, Happiness is withing you. Even on days that are bad, before you go to bed each night, practise some meditation to calm you down, and spend a minute recalling happy moments in your life, or recall happy thoughts whilst smiling for a minute. Being happy for me also means reaching out to others by doing voluntary work. It gives me joy to see the smiles in people’s faces as i help to deliver lunches and gifts of hope to those vulnerable and in need of encourage, love and support.
Start new habits – New year is always a good time to start some new habits, I read somewhere that it takes 3 to four weeks to make a habit automatic. Firstly you must believe that this new habit is going to be good for you and then commit to do what it takes every for at least the whole of January. I find it useful to have an accountability partner who can also encourage and support me when I am taking on new habits Half way through, celebrate that you have come this far and keep going as you see the benefits this new habit is having in your life.
Challenge yourself to be a better version of you and to do what it takes for you to be happy, grateful, and thankful for the Gift of Life.
I would love if you could connect with me please for more good vibes and positivity.
