Take Action in 2020...

"Goals without Action Steps are just good thoughts!"             
 
Let's start with making space in 2020 to get to where we want to be by implementing action steps to achieve our goals by the end of the year.  Decluttering our life is a perfect place to start, let's talk about a few areas:
 
Declutter our Environment

Studies show that excess physical clutter, clutters the mind!

By picking 3 areas in your physical environment that need clearing, writing them down and working on one at a time will allow you to slowly declutter your physical environment.

IDEAS of areas to be cleared:
•Clearing off your desk- of paper piles, receipts, bills, anything that needs to be filed.
•Removing piles of magazines, papers or projects from your office or closet floor.
•Removing piles of stuff from your bookshelves and making sure your books, photos and Knick knacks are neatly and attractively arranged. 
•Unsubscribing from at least 5 electronic newsletters that you never seem to find time to read.
•Cleaning out your inbox of clutter and any messages older than two months.
•Cleaning out a drawer in your kitchen or bathroom.

The key here is make it manageable- If your desk is so crazy then pick one pile to take care of.

Managing our Social Circle
 
When it comes to our Social Circle, positive interactions are key to increase happiness and pushing forward.  Here are four areas to consider when focusing on our social circle:

1.  Spending time daily with people who think big and take consistent action.
2. If people around you speak negatively or gossip, ask them not to in your presence.
3. Seek out and make a new friend of someone who is in a higher income bracket, who inspires you to leap forward, and/or who already has the success you want.
4. Think of someone who drives you nuts and ask yourself “What do I need right now to help ME feel happy, relaxed, and fulfilled.”

Shifting these areas of our our social circle increases our happiness, our success, and allows for positive space within us!! 
 
Debunking the mentality around money

Most people want to create some kind of financial freedom.  We can't do that by ignoring money or pretending it doesn't matter.  So the idea with clearing clutter in this area of your life is what signal are you sending to the Universe about how you value money and how you value your time.  This is a time to self authorize.

Four areas to look at for clearing clutter around money are:

1. Bring all money owed to you up to date
2. Use all your gift cards
3. Gather all your loose change and put it towards debt or into savings.
4. Clean out your wallet and organize it; of you notice it is falling apart, go get yourself a new one.

Allowing for Spiritual space

Oftentimes we think we have to do it all on our own; this is so far from the truth!  Think about what you have done around clearing the clutter these past few days and why you want the goals you set for yourself.  Now, take it to your higher power through prayer, talking, reflecting, or meditating.

As a result, you will feel a level of confidence that you may not be able to access with your logical mind.  Once you are aligned, begin taking small action steps.  Simply taking one action step each day towards your dream is incredibly powerful.  Trust that you are exactly where you need to be and take spiritual aligned action steps every day. 

Adding on to the spiritual guidance of a higher being, finding an accountability partner is another way to find kaha tahi (strength together) and achieve follow through.

 
Remember: Circumstances might be outside of our control, but choices are ours!!

Goals without Action Steps are simply good thoughts;
so let’s Take Action and make things happen in 2020

KAHA TAHI = Strength Together
