May 1 – A Chance for a Do-Over

Happy May Day!  Here we are at the start of another new month, which brings hope and feelings of anticipation at what can be.  You can either look at this time as a positive or negative but the choice is yours to make.  For those of you who have dealt with the bad storms, I pray that you and your families are safe.  But this month has quite a few activities, such as May Day, Mother’s Day, Armed Forces Day, Victoria Day (for our Canadian friends) and Memorial Day. So how will you be spending your time this month – taking action on your dreams and goals or feeling like every day is groundhog day?

This is a perfect time to decide – no, commit – to taking massive action. Want that new job? Commit. Want to take that idea and start a business? Commit. Want to lose weight or begin an exercise program? Commit.  I think you get the idea, but whatever it is that you want you can have – but you first have to commit to the idea.  Once you do, you should feel a feeling of motivation and desire that will move you to taking action, no matter how big or small.  In fact, as a proponent of the principles of kaizen, small is actually preferable.  Create the plan and map out daily actions; have a reward and affirm your commitment on a daily basis. Be sure to celebrate your successes and get support, be that from a family member or friend, a coach or an app (there are thousands).  You can always start anything over but if you plan it out right, as I’ve suggested, you will develop good habits that will serve you for life!
