Mindset For 2021:

A Podcast and practical items to use as you prepare for 2021 at the end of the blog.

2020 was a whirlwind of a year, wouldn't you agree? Many of the hopes and dreams that we had planned for at the end of 2019 came crashing down. We do need to give ourselves the time to reflect and mourn. Yet at the same time, we should also remember and celebrate the good and beautiful things of last year. This will propel us as we move forward to 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣✨

So just a heads up for you all, this blog is going to be a little different from our other usual home design ones. I’m going to introduce to you or perhaps remind you of some helpful ways to encourage yourselves, stay motivated, and have a new perspective on what’s to come! So keep reading for some insightful tips on starting fresh this new year.

Commit to your What and your Why

Mindset is all about attitude, thoughts, and expectations! This is what drives everything we do and in order to be successful at achieving our goals, we need to start by having the right mindset.

✨ Identify your goal or dream- What is the point of a dart without a target? It is because of that target that we can focus and aim with confidence. This is your what. If we don't have a goal or a dream to focus us on a course, we could fall into letting our surroundings dictate where we end up. Knowing your what gives you the focus needed to achieve your goals.

✨ Focus on the importance of your why behind your goal/dream. This will re-energize you to keep going when your motivation is lacking.

Remember

"Motivation is not designed to stay consistent and it changes daily"

For example what I want to read more this year why: Reading is important because it expands my mind and encourages me to dream. Through it, I am learning and growing.

✨ By remembering, focusing, and committing to your what and why there’s a better chance of hitting your target!

Give Yourself Grace and Rise up again.

When we have new dreams and goals, often fear & doubt creeps in and keep us from moving forward.

✨ Be aware of your attitude! Our attitude holds a lot of power over ourselves and it

can either lead us to success or it can paralyze us.

One thing that has helped me focus on a positive attitude is by changing the perspective on what I consider flaws in myself.

For example, I use to often think of myself as an “overthinker” and that can carry

For example, I use to often think of myself as an “overthinker” and that can carry some negative connotation. But, if I instead see myself as rather a “caring” person that helps me see myself in a more positive way.

✨ Serve yourself so that you can serve the people you love well. It’s so important we make room for ourselves on our schedule. Set time apart for some YOU time and make it a priority whether it’s taking a relaxing bath, having some quiet time, or working out.

Our Word for 2021: Flourish

Choosing a word for the year is a helpful way to guide your decisions and move towards your goals. We chose the word for this year Flourish to be our constant yet gentle reminder that wherever we may be planted we have the opportunity to flourish. The definition is to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way and we chose this because it will help us grow not only as a person but in our business, health, dreams, and as a family.

✨ I encourage you all to choose your own word for 2021! Think about what you want to accomplish this year and find a word that speaks to it.

✨In case you are having a hard time choosing a word for the year, below I have some words to serve as inspiration.

- Courage - Growth - Fearless - Renewal - Time

- Strength - Consistency - Gratitude - Forgive - Grace

- Patient - Integrity - Action - Embrace - Hope

- Change - Journey - Confidence - Strength - Heal

- Bold - Dedicate - Inspire - Discovery - Give

- Focus - Balance - Emerge - Awake - Yes

I want to end this blog by recommending a favorite book of mine that I feel can be fitting for a new year, new me read. Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen is a phenomenal must-read that inspires and prepares you to transform your perspective and emotions by taking control of your thoughts. This book can be transformative in your life and of your mind, yet a very relatable read. No matter where you are in life, where you come from, or your specific age, this book is applicable. Together let's get out of our heads, and live in truth, and take on this new year!

I hope you all found these tips useful and enjoyable! I wish everyone a blessed and wonderful 2021!

Love Always,
