A Quick, Overlooked Success Hack

Landing between the holidays, we take a breath. We also gear up for last minute shopping and putting ourselves into debt we didn’t intend. And we eat and indulge because, hey, it’s the holidays. We promise ourselves that the New Year is coming, so we lighten up on our previous promises to ourselves.

 

You’re shaking your head. 

I’m not blaming here; I’m highlighting a broader issue that seems to plague the collective “we” year after year at this time.   

 

How is all of this about a success hack?

 

While it is absolutely normal and natural to live our lives in rhythms (think seasonal), we can also attune ourselves to think in harmonics. That is, as one cycle rises, we also can be planting and preparing for the dip of that cycle. 

 

Too often, February becomes a month of regret. 

The bills come in, the winter weight is noticed, and the New Year’s resolutions have fallen away. If you’re aware of patterns you can plan for them.

 

And that is the overlooked success hack: Awareness Leads To Choice.

I shared this in my first book, Choosing Your Power.  The more you’re aware that patterns have existed, the more you can either ride them out, or change them. You can plan for the outcomes or change the patterns to create new outcomes.

 

New Year’s Day is today. 

It’s every day!

 

So (at least in the U.S.) after Halloween and after Thanksgiving, we step deeper into the colder, hard-to-get-moving months. What do you choose today, knowing that tomorrow is coming.

 

Hack number one: Remember that Awareness Leads to Choice

Hack number two: CHOOSE to Take Action Today to enjoy both today AND tomorrow (and February).

 

In a nutshell, the success hack is “eyes up!”

Keep looking ahead and keep moving in that direction. Yes, enjoying the moment and all the moments of today is really essential. Making positive choices today for a stronger foundation for tomorrow is vital, personally and globally.

 

Happy holidays!
