You can
improve your life by reducing your carbon footprint. Scientists may argue over
whether the individual choice you make has any actual impact on the climate,
but that is not the point. The point is that we all need to feel we make a
difference. Using a reusable shopping bag, eating less meat or taking your
bicycle to work is one way to do so.
There are
many ways to reduce your carbon footprint, and many websites with advice to
help you. Find one thing you can easily do and start doing that. Track your
progress and when you have established that one thing as a habit, you can start
on the next.
Working from
home has decreased bullying by bosses and co-workers. Workplace bullying often
happens in informal conversations, and there are simply fewer of these when
working from home. If you find that you are actually happier and less stressed
when working from home, that can be an indicator that you were having negative
workplace interactions you might not even consciously notice.
Keep a log
of how you feel (for example in a journal, as I discussed yesterday). Start now
when you are working from home, and continue it once you get back to the
office. If you find that you feel worse back in the office, start paying
attention to the tone of your interactions at work. There might be subtle
bullying happening that you don’t notice.
Are you
writing a journal? It has known for centuries that journaling helps you deal
with the questions and anxieties you are facing. Many great people through the
ages have said that journaling was the most important way for them to handle
the pressures of life and improve themselves.
For someone
suffering from anxiety, the most important benefit of journaling is that when
you write your worries down, some of the energy drains out of them. Negative
thoughts about things you have written down will appear less or might
completely disappear.
You can
journal on your computer, on a mobile device or in a paper notebook. Try it and
you will find it improves your life.
Are you
aware of how you are spending your time? Your phone probably has some kind of
“screen time” report – find it and look at how much you are using
your phone and which apps.
If you are
not happy with the amount of time you spend with your phone in hand, tell
yourself you will reduce it slightly this week. Any number lower than the one
for last week counts as a success. Simply stating a goal to yourself focuses
your attention and affects your behavior. Try it this week and check your
statistics next Monday. You’ll probably be surprised.
Events like
those yesterday in Washington D.C. affect many of us, but we can do little
about them. Angrily shouting down other people on social media affects you
negatively and doesn’t help in any way.
One way to
cope is to sit down, close your eyes and think of the people involved. Send
them all your hopes for a peaceful resolution. If you are religious, you can
pray to your god. Sending good thoughts
will help you and might improve the world.
The goals you
achieve are the ones you set with your heart. Goals that you set with your mind
on January 1st while nursing a hangover have a very low success rate.
Let me show you how
to set goals with your heart – goals you really, truly want to achieve. Join me
online tomorrow at 4 pm CET/10 am EST and I’ll take you through the proven
process I use to help my clients uncover their true goals. I will guide you through
a meditation and help you find the strong, personal “Why” that will
drive you to accomplish your goal.

Before
Christmas, A US policeman was called to a shop to arrest af family that hadn’t
scanned all their groceries. They told him they didn’t have enough money to
make a Christmas dinner for their children. He let them off with a warning, and
then used his own money to purchase them a gift card so they could buy what
they needed for their Christmas dinner.
Take
inspiration from this story, and improve your life in 2021 by helping someone.
Feeling that we make a difference is the single factor that most positively
affect our image of ourselves. The effect is strongest if we can directly see
the difference we make. That’s why contributing time to a homeless shelter
improves your life more than donating money to an abstract cause. Find your way
to make a difference.
2021 is
starting well with more and more people receiving one of the Covid
vaccinations. But notice what your media is focusing on: Some rollouts don’t go
as fast as planned. Some places faces shortages. One in a million get an
allergic reaction to one of the vaccines.
It is
obvious that even in the face of a positive trend, the negative messages gets
priority. That affects your mental health. Especially if you suffer from
anxiety or low self-esteem.
In 2021, you
need to practice mental self defense. Every time you are tempted to click on a
negative headline, pause for one long slow breath. You will find that most of
the time, you don’t need to read that article. Every time you succeed in not
clicking, you are winning.
Only 8% achieve the
goals they set on New Year’s Eve. The reason is that they are intellectual
goals created by your mind, often based on something we feel we
“should” do or achieve.
Success comes when
you set a goal with your heart. You have to find out what you really, deep
down, want to achieve.
Join me online on
Thursday, January 7th at 4 pm CET/10 am EST and I’ll take you through a process
to help you find the goal you truly want to achieve in 2021. Using a guided
meditation and my goal-setting process, you’ll find the reason you want to
achieve that goal. Your personal “Why” will be a strong driver that will lead
you to accomplish your goal in the coming months.

Goal Setting from the Heart – the Secret to Achieving Your Goals

New Year’s resolutions are likely to fail. Studies show that only 8% achieve the goals they set on New Year’s Eve. A common theme for my clients over the years has been that they set goals they feel they should achieve. These are goals like “I should lose 20 pounds,” “I should stop smoking,” or “I should exercise more.” While these all might be hea…
If there is
a habit you wold like to start, re-start or strengthen, maybe a physical
calendar will help remind you to do it every day. Print out a calendar of the
entire year and make a checkmark every day you did the action you are trying to
turn into a habit. Reddit user Propelissa helpfully created one to print out
for your 2021 checkmarks: https://i.imgur.com/7JQNGs9.jpg.
Ready, set, go!
