How to have a great year

The Cheat Code to Resetting Your Life

Sincerely AngieLeave a comment

Life reset for the last quarter of 2024 and beyond.

We can’t go back and change anything we did in the first 3 quarters of 2024 but we can forgive ourselves and do better in the last 3 months of the year and moving forward. I’ll keep this short and sweet. Originally, I was going to make this a budgeting and financial post but because life is life-ing for everyone, this is just going to be an overall catch up and reset.

Happy September y’all. I know September is almost outta here but since we have the time right now and we know that tomorrow isn’t promised, we will be grateful for today. Which brings me to the first tip.

Gratitude – Be grateful for whatever season you are in now. Whether you are broke, alone, happy, at peace, jobless, sick or thriving, be grateful for the place you are in. It won’t always be like this, good or bad. The seasons have to change. I know that sounds crazy but you don’t have to take my word for it, just look back over your life or anyone close to you. Have they been broke forever, sad forever, jobless forever, no. Trials come and go, just be grateful in this season that it’s not worse or even because you know there’s a lesson to be learned from this.

Give – If gratitude wasn’t enough of a cheat code, giving is. It could be your time, your talents or even your treasure. Giving selflessly is a feel good activity. When you’re able to bless someone with something that you have as overflow or even from an area of lack, it feels really good. Even if you didn’t want to give in the moment, I’m sure at some point, you’ll realize that what you gave away didn’t actually hurt you. The best part about giving is that whatever you give, you get back multiplied or better.

God – He’s not last but for the sake of this post, last was fitting and hopefully drives you to place Him first. Having a relationship with God will not solve every problem right away but He will hold your hand along the way. There will be comfortable times and uncomfortable times. Quiet and loud moments, but at each season, He is always worth it. He is the literal key for unlocking a life fulfilled. ANY THING you ask, He WILL answer. Understanding that HE knows best is the part that makes it easy. Get to know Him! Seek Him! Love Him! Believe Him! Trust Him and His timing.

Sincerely,

Angie

Have a Great Year on Purpose!

Prepare your mind to be blown away in 2024. There may be road blocks along the way but they won’t command your year. Just consider them pit stops along the journey. You have a choice to not let anything derail you from your intentions for your year. The road blocks won’t define you or your goals. Keep your eyes on the goal(s). Take control and have a great year on purpose.

Set your intentions for the year With almost anything in life, you need direction. You should have some sort of an idea of what is next or what you want and how to get to where you want to go or be. Setting intentions gives you something to work towards.

Write them down One of the most powerful things you can do is to write things down. This gives power to whatever is written down. You can see it and it starts to manifest deep inside of you.

Change your attitude and perspective Changing your outlook can change things drastically. It’s very easy to be negative or pessimistic but life is better when you are positive and optimistic. Train your mind to focus on the positive and being grateful.

See the good in every day Expect good things to happen and choose to see the good in each day you are blessed with life. Even the rain can be beautiful.

Incorporate rest and relaxation into your schedule Take care of yourself. Rest is necessary. Forget what you heard, rest, self-care and relaxation provides you with the energy to be able to get ish done and give to others.

Find a way to bless others often Giving to others just sets off good feelings, for you and the person you give to. Whether it’s time, energy, service, monetary, etc. giving or blessing others is such a blessing.

Seek peace and joy Figure out your triggers and settle your past with them so that peace and joy has room to thrive. Seek out things that brings you peace and joy.

Laugh often Smiling and laughing helps to release endorphins that can improve your mood, ease pain, send positive feelings throughout your body, amongst so many other benefits. Think of happy memories, find funny jokes online and be merry.

Get offline Get offline and get into life. You may catch yourself losing track of time or getting sad or angry while scrolling online. Log off, take a deep breath and snap back to reality. Your life is waiting for you outside of what you may see online. Most of it isn’t real or it’s only a snippet of a moment in someone’s life.

These aren’t the only ways to have a great year on purpose but they’re a definite start. A great day, week, month and year are all attainable. You only have to be intentional and disciplined enough to go after it. 2024 seems like a great year to have a great year!

Sincerely,

Angie
