What I am about to share with you comes from someone who I follow on YouTube and Facebook. I also signed up to receive her emails. I received this particular email but I kinda skipped over it. One day on YouTube I just felt like I was ready to hear what she had to say. Let me tell you, Lisa Nichols don’t play. She says what you need to hear in a way that can really shake you up. She does it with love and clear actionable steps. If you are ready for a transformation, watching her videos or reading her books will be a step in the right direction. This video is titled, “The 4 Things You Should Do Before December 31st”. Here is the link.
Now I am a little different so I am going to jump around on my answers. I am also going to tweak my 4 things to fit me. The last thing that Lisa listed was to go to 6 people who affected your life in a positive way this past year, look them in the eye and give them the accolades they deserve. I have decided that I will deliver/mail handwritten cards to my 6 individuals. A couple of people don’t live here so it would make sense to send them cards. Now I just have to find my booklet of stamps. I never know where it is when it is time to mail something.
Another 1 of the 4 things is to set micro goals that you would like to accomplish within a 90 day time span. These 90 day goals should be realistic and doable. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Please only give yourself goals that can be accomplished on this short amount of time. My macro goal is to be completely debt free within two years. Whenever I look at that goal I feel overwhelmed. I know that it is achievable but how? Well Lisa’s idea to break things down into 90 day goals really resonated with me. Now I am determined to list a few debts that I would like to pay off within 3 months. Pay them off, pat myself on the back and list a few more for the next 90 days. By the end of two years, I will have micro wins to celebrate and a debt free life. I feel the relief already and I haven’t even started yet. Lol. This is just my example. Applied this to the areas that matter the most to you. I know that you can do it and I am cheering for your successes. If it is not too much to ask or too personal, please share some goals that you would like to achieve within the first 90 days.
I am a true, undeniable introvert. I always make time to rejuvenate myself or I won’t be worth shit to anyone. My job requires my full attention and presence in the moments that I am there. When I am not at work, I’m usually at home. This for me is rejuvenating. I get to clear my head, crochet and read. Things that I love to do. I also get massages monthly. I am about self-care. This is something that I have been aware of and will continue into the new year. Thank you Lisa for pointing this one out and letting me know I’m doing something right in this life.
Lastly, my 10 wins. When I was telling a friend about this video, I pointed out that it should be fairly easy for her to come up with 10 things. I think I spoke too soon. I struggled a little after 5 wins. I’m not sure if I was too busy looking for major wins or if I just didn’t do anything of value with my life past the first 5 wins. I was able to complete 10 after racking my brain for a day. I hope that it is easier for you all to get to 10. I will say don’t be too humble or modest about your accomplishments. Give yourself the credit you deserve. And if you truly can’t find 10, set a goal to make sure this coming year, you will end with 10 plus. Just think if you accomplish at least 2 micro wins in 90 days, you will have 8 in the bag. Here is a few of my 10.
1. Started my blog. This is the one thing that I am most proud of this year. Yay me!!
2. Got a passport. Then…
3. Used it to travel to Cancun with 3 of my good good girlfriends. Lol. Where I…
4. Parasailed with 2 of them.
5. Decided to truly love and accept myself unconditionally.
6. I recently applied for a position that did take me completely out of my comfort zone. Even though I did not get selected for the job, I am proud that I put myself out there.
I really hope that you watch this video. It’s less than 5 minutes. I am truly obsessed with Lisa Nichols. Her story, her story, her story. It is phenomenal. She is inspirational, motivational and transformational. Lisa has a YouTube channel where she does video logs called Motivating the Masses. She also has a few videos roaming around on YouTube that may speak to someone’s life or situation right now. I highly recommend for you to check her out. She has written a few books as well. Right now I am leisurely reading Abundance Now: Amplify Your Life and Achieve Prosperity Today with my book club. They need to step their game up or I am going to keep reading ahead without them.

I would just like to say thank you to everyone that voted, shared my video and supported me in any way throughout the competition for CEO. My team was not selected as part of the top 100 to continue pursing this once in a lifetime job. I was a little disappointed. But life goes on and God will present new opportunities for me to continue to help me grow. I look forward to each new development. Thanks again
