Move From Vision to Victory In 2022

Maybe you rang in the new year with a commitment to lose weight, become vegetarian, stop smoking or start clocking more steps on your FitBit. And maybe these goals sound familiar — just like the ones you made a year ago and the year before that?

So how can you ensure that your determination to get healthier in 2022 sticks around past Valentine's Day?  By shifting your mindset and applying the  how to  apply the eight principles of success in your life every day. 

Making new habits stick requires time, energy and mindset mastery. A new behavior won't become automatic overnight, but you may enjoy some of its benefits fairly quickly and that's a great incentive to continue. So, keep nudging yourself in the direction you'd like to go. And try the following eight tips in this episode to help you create long-lasting change.

Quick Takeaways: 

Quote: “I looked back at my successes and failures and discovered an interesting pattern. Where I’d had huge success, I had narrowed my concentration to one thing and where my success varied, my focus had too. Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.” ~ Gary Keller, The One Thing, cofounder of Keller Williams Realty, largest real estate firm in the world. 

Quote: “If you chase two rabbits…you will not catch either one.” Russian proverb

Quote: “The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest.” - Bob Hawke

Quote: “Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority.” - Gary Keller

Quote: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” ~  Benjamin Franklin

Quote: “A good day starts the night before.” ~ Arianna Huffington

Quote: Focus is a matter of deciding what things you’re NOT going to do." ~ John Carmack

Quote:  "When you argue for your limitations you get to keep them." ~ Kelly Lee

Action steps:

1. Major in the majors, not the minors: mindfulness, exercise, diet and sleep. Which one of these majors needs your attention today?
2. Look upstream, not downstream: what's ONE thing that if you could master would make all of your other goals so much easier to accomplish?
3. Success comes from progress: choose simple goals first that allow you to get momentum. Remember, momentum feeds motivation and creates early success.
4. Bet on on the inevitable, not the impossible: look for potential obstacles early on and plan for them. Proactive vs reactive.
5. Look for the 2 thieves of success: 1) the inability to say no to things that aren't priority and 2) an environment that doesn't support your goals
6. Focus on solving REAL problems and real problems are the ones you can take ACTION on: don’t get stuck on fighting circumstances, facts of life and obstacles you can’t do anything about.
7. Look for ways to habit stack:  habit stacking is a strategy you can use to group together small changes into a routine that you follow daily. The key to consistency is to treat a habit stack like a single action instead of a series of individual tasks.
8. Track and celebrate every win:  dopamine is the 'feel good' chemical in your brain and self-compassion is its own motivation. Be good to yourself by documenting your progress and witness how much closer it gets you to your goal!
