Many of us are using this
time to scour the internet for
tips to get our 2018 off to a
good start. Unfortunately,
they will be useless for most
of us, unless we do a little
inner work first. Here are five
habits to start practicing for
a successful and purposeful
year.
1.
BE INTENTIONAL
In this only life of ours, it is so important that
we are living it for ourselves. Making our
goals free of external factors as we listen to
our soul’s desires to understand what that
purpose is. Consider your passions and
strengths to understand what your mission is. If you
could choose only one thing (categorically) to do day
after day, what would you choose? When you tap
into your inner voice and eliminate external factors
while considering your goals is when you will be able
to fully understand yourself and thus walk in your
purpose. Be sure to cancel out the idea of what you
believe society expects for you, as this will almost
never be in alignment with your mission.
3.
ELIMINATING SELF-SABOTAGE
When opportunities knock, we oftentimes
eliminate ourselves from the running before
the “selector” does. Allowing self-doubt to
kick in and override our sense of self confidence and
thus blocking us from our blessings. If you don’t feel
qualified, but that position speaks to you, just apply!
If you’re worried about what people will think of your
content, don’t. Start that blog! If you’re not feeling
good enough, ask yourself why, because you are
enough!

TAKE
ACCOUNT-
ABILITY &
RECLAIM CONTROL
One of the best things that you
can do for yourself is to be
accountable. If you are
constantly deflecting ownership
of your life and decisions, then
you aren’t positioning yourself
to win. A part of being our best
selves lies within our ability to
have those hard conversations
with ourselves. To understand
why we do what we do and to
part ways with dangerous
behaviors and ideologies that
can keep us from moving
forward. This can also help us to
better align with our purpose by
forcing us to walk in alignment
with our truth. Reclaim control
by owning that truth and living
life on your own terms.
When we are walking in our purpose, we owe it to ourselves to eliminate fear from our
emotions. Additionally though, understanding your purpose gives you the comfort to remain
rooted in your decisions. If you aren’t uncomfortable, then you aren’t growing. I’ve always
been told that nothing extraordinary comes from comfort zones.
