“Dream big. Start small – and just keep going”. A variation of a quote I read by Simon Sinek (although I think dream big has been around for a long time)

That’s my theme this year. It really isn’t hard to dream big, but it is intimidating. So I usually shy away from it.

But starting small? Totally doable. Keep on going. Yeah, I can do that too.

I’m in love with the book Atomic Habits by James Clear right now. I love how he talks about improving ourselves 1% daily. Small gains, but compounded over time yields incredible results. I also love how he encourages you to not focus on the goal per se, but the process. Another way to describe that is to not focus on the Results/outcome, but focus on committing to the specific behaviors.

So that’s my plan. I’ve got big dreams (well, I find myself trying to limit those too out of some fear so need to work on that!) but I’ve laid out the specific small behaviors that I think will help me if I do them consistently.

And I must leave room for faith and magic (as Lifecoach Jody Moore wisely says).

We’ve got a lot going on this year – let 2019 begin!
