103: Why You Don't Need a New Year for a Fresh Start | Monday Motivational with Morgan

Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss why the idea of a "fresh start" tied to the new year can be limiting and how to build attainable goals that you won't quit. We also talk about how you are the architect of your own life and how to take control of it.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The idea of a "fresh start" tied to the new year can create pressure and unrealistic expectations.
  2. Instead of waiting for a specific time to make changes, focus on making small, consistent progress towards your goals.
  3. To build attainable goals, break them down into smaller, manageable steps and be realistic about the time and resources required to achieve them.
  4. Reflect on past failures and use them as learning experiences to adjust your approach in the future.
  5. Cultivate a growth mindset and embrace the idea that progress is not always linear.
  6. You are the architect of your own life and have the power to shape it.
  7. Take control of your life by setting clear and realistic goals, being accountable for your actions and being aware of your thoughts and emotions.
