Can you believe we are entering a new decade in just a few short weeks? Dear Readers, are you ready? Or is the pressure to do better and succeed weighing heavily on you? While we are still full of gratitude fuzzy feelings from our Thanksgiving gatherings, this blog wants to help you prepare the terrain so that your new year resolutions can take hold for the new year and bring you even more success in the next decade!
Welcome to new and returning readers to the Branding24Seven community! As the brainchild of JMStrategy LLC (JMS), a boutique consulting firm that offers strategic solutions to strengthen your brand, this blog is the place to find the answers to your most burning branding questions. Now let’s go over three actions to take right now that will help you start 2020 like a boss!
REFLECT. REFLECT. REFLECT!
Of course, this blog recognizes that it is very uncomfortable to look at oneself honestly and take responsibility for one’s life. It is such an uncomfortable exercise that many people shy away from engaging in this practice on a consistent basis. Indeed, the JMS team sees time and time again that only moments of crisis lend themselves for sincere introspection no matter the circumstance or the industry. But how else, Dear Readers, can you decipher which of the decisions you’ve made in the past brought you to where you are now?
If you don’t know what you are doing wrong, how do you expect to change or grow? Don’t waste a minute Dear Readers and start your honest review of the past year now to have a clearer vision of where you want to go in 2020!
CHOOSE YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS NOW!
As we know too well Dear Readers, resolutions are hard to maintain all year long. Every new year always seems to bring in an unwavering willingness to do better that sadly fizzles out wayyyyyyyyyy before the first quarter is over.
Consequently, Dear Readers, this blog invites you to choose your new year resolutions now! This way, you have the next two weeks and a half to tease out the systems to put in place to crash triumphantly into 2020 rather than wait until the 2nd of January 2020 and succumb to the pressure of putting them on Instagram just like everyone else!
SEIZE THE DAY WITH A PRODUCTIVE MORNING ROUTINE
This blog is not alluding to the full productions splattered all over YouTube you’ve seen over and over, Dear Readers! Who has time for a three-hour morning routine?!!! Please, let’s be realistic! Rather Dear Readers, this blog wants you to buy into the true meaning behind the act of cultivating morning rituals: to be so fired up to face the day as soon as you wake that you skip the snoozing altogether!
The secret for having a productive day is to start the day with the right mindset from the moment you open your eyes after a good night’s sleep. This blog created an entire series to help you uncover the kind of mindset you need to reach success, Dear Readers (you can read all about it here).
Back to the topic at hand, this blog wants to eliminate a repeat of those days when you feel frazzled and off your game Dear Readers. Don’t you want to avoid getting ready in a panic each day and dashing out of the house like your hair is on fire, Dear Readers? How do you expect your focus to be at maximum capacity by the time your work shift starts if your first hour of the day is so mentally draining?
Instead, Dear Readers, consider including rituals that can sharpen your mental acuity from the moment you open one eye as soon as you hear alarm until you are ready to begin your work. For some, the best way to begin the day is to work out. For others, it’s to journal or meditate. Whatever you choose, Dear Readers, design your morning routine to include practices that will boost your productivity through the roof before beginning your work shift.
There you have it, Dear Readers! The JMS team thanks you, Dear Readers, for taking the time to read today’s publication. The branding24seven community is here to inspire and encourage as you, Dear Readers, are embarking on the challenging yet exhilarating journey to design the career of your dreams.
Dear Readers, we want to hear from you! How are you getting ready for 2020? What rituals do you plan on including every morning to start your day on the right foot? What did we miss? What else can this blog cover that will motivate you and help you be as successful as possible in 2020, Dear Readers?
