Show Notes



Let’s face it 2020 started out with a lot of promise. But in a few months everything changed and it all went downhill from there. 



It was easy to fall into survival mode and barely get by for weeks or months on end. And living like that is no fun at all. 



After this year you may just be hoping for a better year, a more stable year and I hear you. I’m looking forward to it too. 



And there are a few things you can do and think about to get to that place of peace and stability again. Changing your mindset is the first step in making change. 



How to Change Your Mindset



These 5 small steps can help you change your mindset and make the new year the best year. And after a year like this year, we all need a fresh start. 



 Stop Dwelling on the Bad



It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with our thoughts. Each day comes with a new promise. You wake up with hope and excitement and then the day starts. 



And the thoughts start. Racing in your mind. And let’s be truthful those thoughts aren’t usually happy thoughts about how great the day will be.



They are usually thoughts of all you have to do. All you needed to do yesterday and everything that could go wrong.



When those thoughts well up in your mind, it’s time to turn them off. And to do that can be as simple as turning around those thoughts in a positive way. 



Instead of saying, I have so much to do today, I’ll never get it done. 



Try saying, Wow I have a lot to do, I wonder how much I can get done. 



Spinning those negatively phrased thoughts around can make a big difference in how we feel. And what we can accomplish.



Find Stability Where You Can



When it seems the whole world is upside down. Take refuge in traditions. Make a special meal that reminds you of family. 



Get on the phone and actually talk to people. Texting is fine but when you are feeling isolated, actually hearing a persons voice can make a huge difference.



Or if you are able get on a video call with friends. It’s not the same as being with them but it’s nice to be able to see their faces and hear their voices and share about everyday things. 



As boring as that can be. The boring normal things can help bring a sense of stability. 



Give Yourself Permission to Grieve



I know it may seem weird to grieve about the loss of a year to a pandemic. But you need to acknowledge this year was hard. 



It was unlike anything you’ve experienced. And so many things had to change. You had to let go of so much. 


Change Your Thinking for a Better New Year

We all could use a few more hours in the day but we know that isn’t going to happen. But when you make the most of the time you have you can get more done, or at least the important things done with these 4 simple steps.
