If you have a theme or word for your year, has it come out to play yet? Have you made any changes?
Since I first started coming up with themes for my years, I’ve noticed January’s usually a write-off. It takes until at least February before I’m settled enough to think about “ a new me.”
And wouldn’t you know it, today’s February 1st.
Yes, and I’ve set today as the start of the new thing, the new vibe. So far, it’s working (lol…it’s like 8:30 in the morning right now).
Have you heard this before?
“If you say no to something, you’re saying no to one thing. If you say yes to something, you’re saying no to everything else.”
It’s not airtight. (Because of time and because you can ride a bicycle while drinking coffee and listening to music.) But it makes a point.
I said my “word” for the year (this year) might be “No.” That 2023 would be “the year of growth through saying no to things.”
Some friends suggested being more positive (which I appreciated). But, I like the arch-ness of sticking with no.
I plan to say no to bigger things as the year goes on, but here are some minor, time-based No’s I’m implementing now:
No sleep after 6
No coffee before 8
No screens before 8
No email before 9
No food before 12
No coffee after 2
No work after 4
No food after 6
No screens after 9
No being awake after 10
No it when you see it,
James
