What's on your bucket list for 2024?

As we navigate the busy tail-end of 2024, I’ve noticed a trend: inboxes full of "let's circle back after the holidays." It’s a signal that everyone is buckling down and focused on wrapping up the year.

But here’s a little nudge from me: Don’t put a pin in your personal priorities.

Why postpone what’s important? While 'let's circle back after the holidays' might be the mantra for many, make sure it isn’t yours for the goals that matter most. Don’t wait until Jan 1 to move forward with your ambitions.

Every day, including today, offers a fresh start to pivot, refresh, or press forward on your most cherished goals. There’s still plenty of time to make moves towards the life you deserve.

Don't Press Pause on Your Well-being 🛑

While it's easy to say, "I'll start after the New Year," remember that putting your health and well-being on hold isn't an option. As you wrap up professional projects and dive into family commitments, like planning holiday visits and dinners with the in-laws, don't sideline your own needs.

Keeping yourself on your priority list isn't a box to check, or something you need to ‘earn’—it's a necessity ( so don't serve yourself as leftovers, mmmkk? ).

It's tempting to delay personal goals amidst year-end chaos, but why wait to feel your best?

Consider: What needs to be true to finish 2024 feeling like your best self?

THE METHOD

⚡ GET REAL
Take a moment to zoom out and perform a quick audit of where you currently stand across different well-being areas.

Rate each from 1 (low/depleted) to 10 (high/abundant):

🧠 Mental: From overwhelmed to calm
💪 Physical: From tired to energized
❤️ Social: From isolated to connected
💸 Financial: From surviving to thriving

Notice the highs and lows without judgment, stay curious and open.

⚡ GET CLEAR
Reflect on your ideal score. How would reaching this score impact and elevate your life? Visualize the changes and embrace the potential transformations.

⚡ GET MOVING
Identify one actionable step you can take this week. What can you adjust in your routine that would elevate your lowest score? Sometimes, a simple tweak can lead to significant growth. Maybe it’s scheduling that creative hour or planning a weekend adventure. Put it on your calendar—make it real.

⚡ GET RESOURCED
Remember, the journey is more rewarding (and fun!) with support. Whether it’s a family effort, friend or a coach, getting someone involved increases your success rate dramatically.
