New Year Reset - What do you want for 2023?

As you get closer to the end of the year, have you started to reflect back on 2022 and think about what you want for 2023?  Personally, I love this time of year.  The holidays are over, and the world slows down for a few days before we officially ring in the new year.  I find it a great time to reflect and center ourselves again, and get intentional about planning for what we want in the upcoming year.  

I invite you to consider the new year as a reset and think about what you want to stop doing and leave behind in 2022, and what you want to start doing in 2023.

Personally, I start by reviewing my intentions from the previous year and looking at my progress.  What have I stopped doing, and what have I started doing?  It can be hard to see change on a daily basis, but when you view it from an annual perspective it’s much easier to see how far you’ve come.

Here are some of the things that I’ve changed over the years:
I stopped yelling at my kids and gained more patience.
I stopped telling my kids what to do and started asking more questions.
I became less judgmental, and I became more curious.
I gave up the boxing gloves that I used to beat myself up.
I stopped feeling guilty all the time.
I started treating myself more kindly.
I started giving myself more grace and appreciation.
I learned how to be my own best supporter and encourager.

I get that it’s easy to look at someone else and think it’s easy for them, but not possible for you…  but that is only your mind trying to keep things predictable.  Your mind sees predictable as safe, and change as dangerous — even if the change will make your life so much better.

I encourage you to start by just opening up to the possibility that change is possible.  When you see someone else that has changed, instead of being frustrated or resentful consider that they are proof that it’s possible.   Because I'm now seeing proof everywhere as I watch my clients, who are everyday people just like you, make amazing changes in their lives.

They have stopped yelling, and are more patient.
They are less frustrated and more calm.
They are less judgmental and more curious.
They are less anxious and more confident.
They know how to stop the negative spiral that would ruin their day.
They have more meaningful conversations and better relationships with their kids.
They have dropped the guilt and stopped beating themselves up.
They are kinder to themselves and their families.

I am not some special unicorn, and my clients are not unicorns either — Change is possible for anyone, and it’s possible for you too.  

The key is believing it’s possible.  Everyone thinks they have to take action to change and see the results before they can believe it.  But if you don’t believe that it’s possible, you make it so much more difficult for yourself.  It’s like trying to push a boulder uphill.

So if you can’t believe it for yourself yet, find someone that can hold that belief for you.  Someone that knows that you can do it, and helps you get back on track when you fall off.  Someone that will hold the belief that you can change even when you are in doubt.  Change can be hard, but having someone in your corner makes it so much easier.

This is what I do for my clients.  I love, love, LOVE the process of helping my clients change, and the impact that it has on them, their families, their kids, and their future generations.  We teach our kids so much more from what we DO than what we say, and we become an example of what’s possible.

I encourage you to start with a review.   What do you want to leave behind in 2022, and what do you want to change for the better in 2023?  

If you are serious about making some lasting changes this year that will impact your kids and family, I would love to support you.  I know without a doubt that change is possible for you, and I can help make the process so much easier.  It starts with one phone call.  Click here to get on my schedule to talk about what you want to be different by the end of 2023.  I believe in you.
