It is a new year – 2024 is here! I am super excited about this year. There are a lot of exciting things that will be happening in 2024 that I will be sharing.
One of the many great changes that have come from me having a business coach is the mindset change that has come with it. As a child, you hear people tell you, “You can do anything you set your mind to.” Somehow as we grow up and start experiencing the challenges and obstacles that living life can often bring, we lose the belief that we can do anything. We end up being conditioned to believe that we are limited in what we can achieve because of ______ (fill in the blank with any number of options here). In reality, our mind, our thinking is what truly limits us.
I am learning that a lot later in life than I would have liked to, but I am thankful to be learning it. Having the mindset that I can achieve anything that I believe I can opens up so many doors, so many opportunities, so much life. It changes everything.
In November, I got a tattoo with the word BELIEVE and a dragon fly. The BELIEVE part was inspired by the television series Ted Lasso. If you have never watched the series, you are missing out. The dragon fly symbolizes happiness, new beginnings, and change. It is a reminder to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. I am believing that the life I envision will happen. I am already taking steps to move toward the vision I created over the last few months, and it is so exciting! My vision continues to grow and change as I move forward. I look forward to what 2024 will bring!
My sweet husband gave me the Mindset canvas art piece below for Christmas. I love having reminders around my office to help me stay motivated to keep going. It is so easy for me to start feeling down and to become discouraged so I am thankful for these reminders that encourage me to not give up.
I also purchased this one below before Christmas, and it sits on my desk. Fear has been an enemy for a long time, and it can detour me from my vision so quickly. Once fear gets a hold, the doubt is not far behind. So part of my mindset change has been to really lean into having positive thoughts and beliefs about myself and my circumstances instead of being a glass half full person. I now ask myself why things happen FOR me instead of TO me. These are two small words with very different directions in thinking.
As I move excitedly into 2024, I will continue to grow and expand. I have limitless opportunities and choices before me, and I am looking forward to seeing how my vision unfolds.
What do you envision for yourself? Do you have dreams that you think are out of reach? I encourage you to dream big! Nothing is impossible!
