positive life

In this week's podcast I am talking about setting yourself up to create some goals for 2024.  Maybe you are like me and are having a slow start to this year. 

I don't know about you, but I was holding myself back from setting goals.
 
In today's episode I shared a tool that really helped me combat my reluctance to create new goals and remind me to stay focused on the positive things I've accomplished.  I was also reminded to learn from all my 2023 experiences, be they successes or failures.

I encourage you to try the tactic I share in this episode and would love to hear how it works out for you.  I created a tracking sheet to help you with this week's challenge.  Check it out in the resources below and let me know how it goes!

Resources I referenced this week:
Annual Highlight Reel - This is a one-page tracking sheet to keep your monthly wins and accomplishments all in one place.
My Happy Notes and Podcast Emails - This is to get the podcast emailed to you as well as My Happy Notes, keeping you up-to-date in-between podcasts, of all the cool things going on over at Happiness Headquarters!

Today we talk about finding your true purpose in this life. Easier than done. Take time, think, journal, find yourself, and always stay true to yourself.

- See the moment for what it is. Accept responsibility and move forward. 
- Meaning is something you look for then you find it. It doesn't consider the possibility that in life sometimes meaning could be something you create and manufacture for yourself and for others. 
- How would you really enjoy spending your life?

- Life is too hard to hide in your box.- If you're bored, you're either not disciplined or you're probably pursuing something you don't want to pursue. 
- When time flies (when you're engaged in something you find meaningful) it's because you're engaged and it means you're doing something you care about.
