Let’s Make 2022 a WOW Year!

BIG shout outs for all of us who survived 2021 with our sanity intact. We’ve all been affected by the pandemic and its accompanying stresses – and they’ve certainly taken their toll. However, beginning a new year is a wonderful opportunity to re-imagine your life and make some bold changes during this much-needed holiday break with family and friends. 

When you change your mindset, you change your possibilities. New, positive changes – that’s what makes real change. Whether it’s work, family, friends, kids, health – or even just making time once a week to treat yourself to a latte and a good book – you owe it to yourself and those you care about to make your life a happier, more fulfilling one.

But how to change your mindset from well-enough to WOW? First, you have to know what you want. Be BOLD. Dig deep. What is it you really want? If it’s learning to play an instrument, find a great teacher – in person or online – and schedule your first set of classes today. Relationship not as close as it could be? Want a new job that’s more fulfilling? Whatever your heart calls you to, you CAN make it happen – and there’s no better time than the present. 

Start your WOW journey by getting real. Choose your goals for 2022 thoughtfully, and make them reasonable and realistic. Choose three things that really, truly affect your well-being and will significantly increase the joy and happiness you have in your life. These are your “2022 WOW” goals. Write them down. Seriously, write them down.  

Next, map out what you need to do to make them happen. If your relationship goal is more time with your significant other, maybe set up a weekly dinner date, coordinating your calendars with times and dates. Eating healthier your goal? Thoughtfully choose a workable, reasonable eating plan and implement what you need to make it happen – food delivery, grocery service, cutting out sugar. Ready to take that road trip with your best friend? Coordinate the date and put in for your vacation time NOW. You get the idea. 

By making do-able, reasonable, and actionable plans that you know will improve your real quality of life is the key to Making Your WOW … NOW! 

I love the saying, “Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal.” We know there are some things out of our control – certainly we’ve all been reassured of that during the past two years. But YOU are in control of creating your own happiness. No one can do it for you – but as a coach, I can help guide you there. If you’re interested in trying out a free 30-minute “WOW” coaching session, let’s set it up. 

This coming year, make the most of NOW… and make your life filled with WOW!

Wishing you a wonderful, WOW-filled 2022!
