Sunday, January 7

Today is Sunday, January 7, 2024. We can add new habits this year.

DGoV (Daily Gift of Vitality) Activity: One week into the new year. Time for a week in review.

To stay true to yourself:

• Return to your aspiration(s) for the year and why this is important to you. Say it out loud.
• Reflect: In the past week, what days did you make a deliberate effort that aligned with your aspiration(s)? Include any day that you deliberately thought of -or made a choice that aligned with- your aspiration(s). Mark your calendar for each of those days if you haven’t already.
• Plan: Set a tiny goal for this week that moves you in the direction of your aspiration. Make it clear to yourself what you can do and how you will know that you have achieved your goal for the week.
• Make it easier: Write everything down and make it visible so you are easily reminded.  

Remember: While the course may change throughout the year, you can make progress by returning the focus to your aspirations for the year. Pull out a fresh calendar and every day that you state your intentions out loud, or take action towards your aspirations, give yourself a win and mark it on the calendar.  

A quote by Confucius, “The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.”
