I started this article with my favorite written piece of 2023. Not only is this cliche but why would you be interested in my opinion about my work? Exactly, it seems a little self-serving. Therefore, I wanted to contribute in a way that might help you see the world differently, going into 2024.

I probably thought through and rewrote this several times before realizing the exact message the words were trying to convey.

In 2024, let’s work on getting out of our way. Thinking through things in detail is important for sound and firm decisions. However, we must reach a stage where a decision is made, and we move forward with our goals and life.

Sometimes, we get caught up in thought patterns and will even talk ourselves out of starting projects we know we need to start.

In this new year, let’s set ourselves up to take action, amidst self-inflicted adversaries.

Here are 3 steps that will help you move, when you feel stuck:

Move: In our boxed-in lifestyles, we often forget what it’s like to get out and move around. We are moving animals. We need to move around and there is science behind the benefits of moving when feeling mentally stuck or under brain fog. Get some sun, and fresh air, and let your mind wonder a bit.

Space: Make giving yourself space a habit. This can be a daily or weekly habit. But protect time for yourself by doing a hobby, a long walk, or just some quiet time. Space to allow your mind to reset. This allows new idea stems to be established, and for negative thoughts to fade out and disappear.

Exposure: Expose yourself to something not only new or novel but something completely out of your comfort zone. Whether this means jumping into a cold pool, buying yourself a ticket to a cocktail-making class, or anything in between — what these could accomplish is breaking that former mental box and forcing new neural pathways to be created.

As we dive into the next year, let’s look for opportunities to grow and make decisions that help move the needle toward a larger vision. Further, let’s make sure that we aren’t using “careful consideration” in order to get out of a challenging move that we need to make.

Let’s make 2024 about being bold, curious, and action-oriented the themes for 2024.
