Well, it’s the end of another year and the beginning of a new one again. Let’s make 2024 one to remember. I wanted to share something by Jon Gordon that I feel is important at the start of a new year.
Here is a list of 21 positive Tips to bring you happiness in the New Year!
1. Stay Positive…
You can listen to the cynics and doubters and believe that success is impossible or you can trust that with faith and an optimistic attitude, all things are possible.
2. Take a daily “Thank You Walk”…
You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time. Feel blessed and you won’t be stressed.
3. Be Healthier…
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less foods manufactured in plants.
4. Talk to yourself instead of listening to yourself…
Instead of listening to your complaints, fears, and doubts, talk to yourself with words of truth and encouragement.
5. Post a sign that says, “No Energy Vampires Allowed”…
Gandhi said, “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet,” and neither should you!
6. Be a Positive Team Member…
Being positive doesn’t just make you better, it makes everyone around you better.
7. Don’t chase success…
Decide to make a difference and success will find you.
8. Get more sleep…
You can’t replace sleep with a double latte.
9. Don’t waste your precious energy on negativity…
Stop spending time with gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts, or things you cannot control.
10. Look for opportunities to Love, Serve, and Care…
You don’t have to be great to serve but you have to serve to be great.
11. Live your purpose…
Remember why you do what you do. We don’t get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we do it.
12. Remember, there’s no such thing as an overnight success…
Love the process and you’ll love what the process produces.
13. Trust…
Trust that everything happens for a reason and expect good things to come out of challenging experiences.
14. Implement the No Complaining Rule…
If you are complaining, you’re not leading.
15. Read more books…
I happen to know of a few good ones I can tell you.
16. Don’t seek happiness…
Instead live with love, passion, and purpose and happiness will find you.
17. Focus on “get to” vs “have to”…
Each day focus on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Life is a gift, not an obligation.
18. Don’t be afraid to “fail”…
The next time you “fail” remember that it’s not meant to define you. It’s meant to refine you.
19. Smile and laugh more…
They are natural anti-depressants.
20. Make time for relationships…
We are better together and the more we connect with great friends the more enjoyable life becomes.
21. Enjoy the ride…
You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.
How will you make 2024 more positive?
I have decided to finish a few things that I started in 2023.
You could also call them my 2024 Resolutions.
- Making people’s dreams come true by continuing to develop and expand my business.
- Finish writing and publish my third book in my “Helping Horses” series.
- Continue healing to the best of my ability through the tragedies of 2023.
I hope you and your horse have an amazing 2024. Until next time, Happy Horses!
