083: 2021-INFINITY - Take Action & Execute

For many, 2020 was riddled with misfortune, anxiety, pressure, work and information overload, erratic emotions, and sleepless nights. In the most recent episode of The Motivation Movement, we took time to discuss various methods of reflection, to help you better understand and learn from your 2020 experience, so 2021 can be filled with love, happiness, health, friendship, success, and good fortune. Personally, I asked myself many of the same questions that were posed in the last episode. What theme or name would I give to 2020? The FIRE Starter. A FUCKING flame was lit under my ass, BIG TIME. 2020 has literally felt like a giant preparation session for 2021 and beyond.  In 2020, I kept my commitments, worked according to my values, and prioritized my mental health. With every new year comes a clean slate — so what will you do with this fresh start? How do we keep the momentum FLOWING into 2021? Quote: We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives ... not looking for flaws but for potential. – Ellen Goodman Luckily, we spent the final few days of 2020 reflecting on the work to be done and cracks to be patched. We identified the flaws, now it’s time to unlock the potential. WHERE DO WE BEGIN?!? We begin by implementing ALL the actionable advice we’ve discussed over the past few months. To be successful in the NEW YEAR, we need to drive accountability, practicing gratitude, develop good habits, build our temperament, be patient and focus on ABUNDANCE. 2021 should be a culmination of all the lessons learned in 2020. Driving accountability is the best place to start, having already established goals (resolutions) for the NEW YEAR. It’s not easy to hold yourself accountable, but you’ll thank yourself by the end of 2021 for having been so organized and productive all year.  Practicing gratitude should be another pillar of success for 2021. We already made a list of ALL the people and items we were grateful in 2020, let’s keep it rolling.  Accountability and gratitude are ideas, practices, that can become habitual over time. Habits are created by starting with small adjustments, stacking SMALL WINS is essential.  Being patient and building a positive temperament go HAND and HAND with habit forming. Personal growth and development TAKE TIME. What's the purpose of nurturing patience in yourself?  The possibilities for the next 365 days are endless. A lot can change, and most importantly, you can change, FOR THE BETTER. If you’re here listening to this episode today, on January 1st, 2021, you’re in a good spot.  https://mruddo.com
