We have the ability to make an impact every day, with our actions, words, intentions and interactions. This year, as part of my New Year reflection I picked a word to define my year. My word for 2020 is IMPACT. I want to make a positive and lasting impact in every aspect of my life so I thought it would be appropriate to kick of 2020 taking about impact: What it means to me and how to go about making an impact in every aspect of your life.

As I was completing the 2019 - 2020 reflection I shared on episode 10 and as part of it spent some time reflecting about the things I want to START doing or DO MORE OF in 2020 and the things I want to STOP doing or DO LESS OF in 2020.

In this bonus episode I want to share 12 things I am planning to stop doing to help me live my best life in 2020, and want to invite you to think about if any of them can apply to you too.
