For me, 2021 was a year filled with clarity, reinvention and lots of learning. (Translation: yes, some challenges where I had to choose to find the “learning”.)
And now, I’m ready to put my ideas and plans into action. If you’re anything like me, you’ve made the commitment to kick 2022 off with a bang.
Why?
Because there is a special kind of momentum that gets generated after some time off (check out the PS for some fun pics of my recent getaway) in this new year’s first few weeks.
But the “New Year – New You” avalanche can be a little much as soon as you enter the new year… It was only a few days in and I already felt behind. And when that happens, the momentum ends up feeling more like pressure than something you are excited to achieve.
And let’s face it, resolutions aren’t known to work. 80% of them fail – often because they lack a change in consciousness, accountability structure, and a release of the internal fear or block in your way.
This isn’t really a surprise either.
If everyone could just set resolutions and achieve them, then many more people would lose 10 – or 30 – pounds, eat healthier, and get that new job. BUT that’s not the case.
That’s why I am encouraging you to not worry about that new year’s resolution you’ll quit on in a month — and do this instead:
Choose ONE thing for 2022 to be proud of. Think of this as one big goal (or lifestyle change) that will be non-negotiable for you to achieve.
Can you believe it? We only have two more sleeps until 2022!
Typically, I’d be visiting family and finding every craft and Lego in our house to keep our kids busy over this holiday week.
This year, I decided to do something I’ve never done before…
I’m using this time to unwind and give myself the white space I need in order to create something incredible for 2022. [Pics will come next week of my time here on Cape Cod — or check out my Instagram stories in the meantime.]
And one of the things that I’m making space for is finding more valuable media opportunities.
So with that in mind, I reconnected with my friend Christina Nicholson, a former TV reporter and anchor plus a current online contributor to a dozen media outlets.
Marc brought together our family, friends, and clients/ students from around the country in person and on zoom last weekend to celebrate my 50th (gulp) birthday.
It was a total blast — and yes I was surprised!
Did I have a clue *something* was happening?
Just a little — but I guessed they decorated the house with 50 balloons and then we were going out to dinner and staying overnight at a hotel in Boston and then brunch the next day.
I so didn’t realize it was happening when my mom even packed a bag to watch the kids that night and I was debriefing my mom on how to take care of the kids while we were out!
Somehow our kids knew and kept the secret. And so many people were so willing to do this safely and got tested ahead of time.
I felt so loved and touched that so many amazing people are in my life and showed up to celebrate the day I was born, including several getting here from California, New York, and Texas.
As we end 2021, I’m curious how 2021 has been for you.
Personally, I know I had hoped that 2021 would rebound to pre-2020 energy, growth, and travel.
But with all the masks, restrictions, and underlying fear (of catching the virus), it just hasn’t felt like that.
And in the business, I have been more gentle and given myself some grace to not grow at our same record-setting paces.
How is the year going for you?
When I asked our Instagram audience, at first the poll showed most had “Learned A Lot!” this year, which told me that they were getting the lessons but not as much growth.
But by the end of 24 hours, it evened out to 50/50. (Wild it was exactly even!)
