In the last episode, we talked about the value of looking back on the year that was so we can harvest all the lessons you learned this past year. 

What you learned from your successes, your failures, your wins, your losses. 

Because all of it has something valuable to teach us, right? And this is the ideal time of year to do that. 

So, if you haven’t listened to last week’s episode called “My Learnings List”, I invite you to go back and do that. 

In it, I share some thoughts on how to think about those lessons and I walk you through a super helpful exercise. This is a great way to make sure that you capture all that hard-earned wisdom and bring it with you going forward.

But today, I want to shift your focus to the future. 

Because it’s New Year’s Eve. The last day of 2021! 

And that means that we’re just a few short hours from a bright shiny new year. 

I just love the whole clean slate thing. The idea that there’s 365 blank pages in the book of 2022. And YOU get to decide what you want to fill those pages with. 

What you’ll invest your time in. 

Who you want to be. 

What you want to learn. 

What you want to experience.

But today we’re not going to talk setting goals. We’ll do that on Sunday (in the next episode). 

TODAY we’re going to talk about how to get yourself READY to set big life changing goals. Because that’s what I want to invite you to do this year. 

Allow yourself to dream big.

Allow yourself to imagine that 2022 is the year you don’t just make small steps forward, but you make a giant leap forward. Maybe a leap that even scares you a little because it feels so big and impossible.

And if that’s the kind of life changing year we want to have, it’s not as simple as jotting down some goals in like 15 minutes. 

Big dreams require big mindset preparation. You need to be very purposeful in how you’re thinking about the goals you select. I think of these as filters or the lens that you view the goal through. And there are three of them.

They are:

#1. Be future focused

#2. No limits or boundaries

#3. Believe it is possible for you

So, let’s explore each of these filters in a bit more depth.
