New years resolutions and self belief bricks...
Merry Christmas, Everyone! š As we near the end of the year, Iāve found myself reminiscing about the ups and downs, the lessons learned, and all the moments that made 2024 what it was. And, as it always does at this time of year, my mind started wandering toward the year ahead. Which of course got me thinking about... New Yearās Resolutions. š
So, Iād love to throw a couple of questions your way and share a little thought on self-belief thatās been on my mind. Question 1: Do you set New Year's resolutions? If yes, do you stick with them or change them halfway through the year? If no, why don't you? I know some people swear by them, while others think theyāre a waste of time. Personally, Iām curious to hear what your approach is! Is it a tradition, or just another reason to reset? A Little Thought on Self-Belief š”: Self-belief is built brick by brick. Itās built by doing what you said you were going to do, even when itās hard. Itās built by making promises to yourself, and following through on them. On the flip side, self-doubt is built by doing the opposite: by letting yourself down. So hereās the thing ā donāt set yourself up with huge, overwhelming goals that feel impossible from the start. That only leads to frustration and, eventually, a house of doubt. Instead, start small. Ask yourself: Whatās one thing you KNOW you can commit to? Even if itās tiny. Maybe itās getting 10 minutes of exercise a day, reading one page of a book, or simply drinking more water. Whatever it is, make a promise to yourself ā and follow through. Once youāve mastered that small commitment, you can stretch the goal a little more, shift the target, and keep building on that foundation. But start where itās achievable. Whatās one small, realistic goal you could commit to for 2025? Maybe something simple that feels doable, even on the busiest of days? What is your self belief brick so to speak Iād love to hear your thoughts and start a conversation about how we can approach the new year in a way that actually sets us up for success ā and, more importantly, confidence in ourselves.
