Embracing December

Can you believe that it is December now?  It feels like just last week we were ushering in 2023 with all its possibilities. December isn’t just the 12th month; it’s the grand finale, the crescendo, the end of the golden quarter.  It’s time for reflection, celebration and setting the stage for a fresh beginning.

As you enjoy the magic of the season, December offers a unique opportunity for reflection. It's a chance to pause, take a step back and assess where you stand on the goals and aspirations you set at the beginning of the year. 

Did you achieve what you set out to do? What lessons did you learn along the way?

As you reflect, one effective strategy is to choose one specific area or goal to focus on for the remainder of the year. You see, it’s tempting this time of year to throw in the towel on our goals, go on autopilot or coast to the new year. 

By picking one area to narrow your focus, you can channel your energy and finish the year on a high note!  This could be a goal in any of the 7 key areas. Download the Wheel of Life Exercise here. Even if you don’t fully reach your goal, the momentum you create can propel you into the new year!

Success tips:

Reflect on your goals & aspirations for 2023.

Did you achieve what you set out to do?

Pick one specific goal or area to focus on for the remainder of the year.  

What action can you take to move you closer to your goal? For example-in the area of personal development, read/listen to one book that up-levels your knowledge in a target area OR around business, send personal holiday cards to your VIP clients and offer something special for December as a thank you.

Write it down & begin taking action!

As the year concludes, I encourage you to finish the year strong and step into the new year with a sense of accomplishment & anticipation for the blessings the new year will bring!
