It is September 1, 2020, and the clouds are rolling, rain still falls, and the air is still filled with COVID-19. A crazy year, indeed, but we still have a long way to go before 2020 ends. If you have been pushing off a side project of yours, then THIS is the time to lay the groundwork and actually DO the work. You can keep saying “tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,” but who is that hurting in the end? You got this! I believe in you!
September is a month where new beginnings meet ambition and determination. It is also a month of recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month, Sexual Health, Self-Improvement (woop, woop!) National Suicide Prevention, and much more. If you want to check out what September holds, check out https://nationaltoday.com/ to keep up to date with cultural calendar events. Most importantly, September is going to be the month where you decide to improve your life. Yup, life coaching time!
I want you to write down your goals and next to them write down what you think you have to do to accomplish those goals. If you have no idea where to start that is okay, because you already started by putting your goals on paper. Congratulations, you are on your way! The trick, now, is to keep that same energy and waste no time. You have such a finite amount of time in your life, do not squander it by giving yourself excuses. (Tough love!)
Time has a tendency to fly by, or should I say drive-by (hehe, COVID jokes), and can slip through our fingers in the blink of an eye. The earlier you start your new goals, the better. You want to start creating new trails in your mind that you can revisit and help you reach your goal. Start making a habit of making things a habit (read that again slowly), it only takes 21 days. If you want to create a lifestyle from your habit, then that takes about 90 days, but it is worth it! If you enjoy your new endeavor, then 90 days will be here before you know it.
2020 has been an unanticipated blessing in disguise for a myriad of reasons. This will be the year that goes down in history as “The Year We Didn’t Know We Needed.” Let the month of September be that stepping stone you so wish you had in January. Consciously act on creating a new habit, and make yourself accountable for continuing that habit. If you need help, phone a friend. If you have no friends, then set a reminder or visit my blog every day *wink*. I want you to be your best self this month because you are amazing and deserve so much more!
Pro Tip: Try to avoid all of the September songs (like “September” by Earth, Wind, & Fire or Green Day’s “Wake Me Up When September Ends”), you will hear them a lot this month, trust me. I am a fan of “September Song” by JP Cooper, though, it just has a very uplifting vibe to it, haha.
Motivated,
E.
