With the holidays coming up, the next few months can slip away without you having a chance to take stock of where you are and where you want to be, to take this opportunity to pause and take these 6 steps:\n\n1.Get clear \u2013 Write down 3 goals or accomplishments you want to complete in the new year. Focus intently on the top 3 priorities so you won\u2019t get distracted by having too many goals.\n\n2.Make space for yourself \u2013 Spend some time removing clutter from your living and working spaces, providing you with true spaces of rest and productivity and opening up more mental space for future opportunities. Think about your holiday traditions and evaluate whether you need to continue doing those things or make some adjustments.\n\n3.Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for what you want and need \u2013 Be honest with your loved ones if you need their assistance or resources for anything going on in your life. It can be a stressful season with the expectation of giving many gifts, so reach out if you\u2019re going through some tough times.\n\n4.Reconnect with others \u2013 Make time to spend quality time with your loved ones without distractions. Embrace that time and don\u2019t give into the guilt of not being productive because your relationships are just as important as your work.\n\n5.Take some things off your plate \u2013 Look at everything you have going on in your life right now and all of your commitments to determine if there is anything that you can let go of. Set yourself up in the new year to have plenty of space for your new goals and priorities by closing the chapters of your life that need to be closed.\n\n6.Spend some time in reflection \u2013 Be aware of all the good that is around you and express that gratitude.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Transitioning well into the new year\n\u2022Finishing this year strong\n\u2022Gaining clarity\n\u2022Evaluating your priorities\n\u2022Reflection and gratitude","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/5f8bc523-96a5-418d-90fa-5aa47d911cae/dbb0eb700005484e161e31fed250a145.jpg"}
