Greetings BAye Hive! Happy New Year to you and yours from Moi!
I know it has been forever since I have blogged but I assure
you, there hasn’t been much going on. Sike! I will not tell that tale. Listen,
a whole heap of things has happened and well, I haven’t had anything in me to
release here. Just about everyone has had a moment or two or even three and
beyond during this pandemic but guess what?
I don’t know either. (LOL)
I cure all with laughter.
We are all navigating these waters at the same time together.
I wholeheartedly believe it has served a pointed purpose for us all. I know I
have achieved my 2020 desire of being better in 2021 than I was in 2020. It is
my hope that no matter how little or how small you think an achievement you've made is/was, I hope you have or will celebrate yourself. Now it is time to level
up again in 2021.
Did you all make any resolutions? Yes?
I hope not. (Side-eye)
Let’s make a pact. Instead of making resolutions, let’s
begin to set goals! Writing your small goals, big goals, short, intermediate,
and long-term goals should all be a part of your 2021 planning.
Why goals and not resolutions?
For that answer, I will direct you to the dictionary
definition which almost certainly will use the phrase “statement of intent” to
define resolution. A written goal defines a resolution if you will and provides
the mechanics to complete your goal. The fact of the matter is resolutions
sound good but they lack the ingredients you need to be successful.
Need help?
My circle uses the acronym Specific Measurable
Attainable Reasonable Time-bound. For example, ask yourself, if your goal is specific? Do the same with the remaining letters. If
you answer these questions, you’ve basically given yourself a blueprint to
soar. Why? Now you can actually see it's within reach. You see yourself winning!
Here is my charge to you and it’s not too late. In fact, if
you goal set properly, you will write short term goals and intermediate goals multiple
times in the upcoming year as you conquer them. I want you to think of
something you have been wanting to do or been putting off. Follow the S.M.A.R.T.
goal structure and write down a short-term goal. It could be a smaller portion
of a long-term goal. It doesn’t matter, just get writing.
After you have written your goals, put it somewhere you will
see it daily even throughout the day. (Great places are screen savers on our
electronic devices.) The more you are reminded of your goal, the more you
will move in a way that propels you closer to meeting that goal(s).
I hope this helps jump start someone to begin something they
have wanted to get done and just haven’t had the spark they needed to get
going. I hope to get some feedback from each and every one of you in 2022 about
how you crushed your 2021 goals. Let’s make it a party. I’ll bring the ice (LOL)
and we will celebrate.
Off to work on one of my 2021 goals.
Until next time…
Remain P.O.I.S.ED.
