Like my friend Dani Coleman, one of the most positive people I know (watch or listen to her as a guest last month on #WhatComesNextLive), I truly believe in the power of positivity, including positive language and positive intentions. I therefore reframe the idea of New Year’s Resolutions, choosing to start each New Year considering what I may start doing, as well as what I will do more of.
I won’t give you any particular suggestions of how to do this, simply to consider what you will start, what you will do more of.
A few of my own thoughts are to continue to practice being ever more self-aware, then, from that place, choosing to be more purposeful in my choices (in work and in life), to be more caring, to be kinder. On a work front, I will focus even more on purpose-led leaders seeking to scale their impact. I will also create more “open space” time in my diary than ever before. Yes, that means I will also start to say “no” to more and more opportunities that do not fit with everything I’ve just noted.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you will do more of and what you will start.. oh, and.. Happy New Year!
