The top 5 ways you can make 2023 your best year yet!

#5 READ: As the saying goes, readers are leaders and leaders are readers.

#4 EXERCISE: Get your heart rate up at least 4x per week. It will not only give you energy, it will provide you with creativity on what you want to accomplish.

#3 LISTEN TO PODCASTS: What a great way to learn by gaining knowledge on your drive, while exercising, during your downtime. Especially to this podcast!

#2 CONNECT to the relationships that matter the most to you. I plan to create my list for who I want to have lunch with. It could be in person or how about a virtual lunch via zoom.

#1 MORNING ROUTINE: Why not take time to start your day on your terms. During this time you could read, spend time Spiritually, meditate or journal. It has been said this is the one time you can spend time on yourself. Remember if we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t take care of others.

Gratitude:

Gratitude is the experience of counting one’s blessings. It is the feeling that embodies the word “Thank You”. It is the unexpected reward of a kind deed that is magically produced by your brain.

A 2003 study by Emmons and McCullough found that keeping a daily gratitude journal leads to not just an increased sense of well-being but also better sleep, willingness to accept change and also help and lower symptoms of physical pain. As it turns out, gratitude could be the ultimate magic pill for happiness.

Here’s the bottom line: Write a journal every morning and every night it’s the closest thing to help you find happiness and peace in life.

Either get a journal and start to process or if you need help here is my recommendation I shared with my clients this year. It’s called “The Five Minute Journal.” You can check it out at fiveminutejournal.com
