369. Move into 2024 with a plan

Move into 2024 with a Plan Sign up for 30-Days of Laughter: https://christythomascoaching.com/landing/january24 When I say plan I mean make room for anticipation.  We have all had an unplanned day and wondered where all the hours went.     You are a fantastic mom and an amazing human.  You have so many choices, and I love moving because it reminds me of all the options I have in life.    We are MOVING into a new year. Let's take a few tips from moving cross country to help us    Review Your stuff –Look at your photos of 2023. What needs printing? What's the theme? What was the best of the best each month?     Tend to important documents –Transfer your calendar/ planner.  Take yourself on a date for this task.   Dream– Talk about the upcoming year with others. When you move, the fun part is all of the options.  The overwhelming part is the options, too, so take the time to figure out what matters to you.  Will a word of the year help?  Big, scary goals like 75 hard or running streak or a giant book goal?   Anticipate and sign up.  There are no big giant goals this year. 30-day stretches with intention.  My word this year is process.  You can use that word in many ways, and I want to use it in all of the ways.  But for now.  I'm leaning into process vs outcome.  I can control so few things in life.  That's what 2023 taught me.  How little I have control and how fun it is to have your hands wide open.   Jump in– Be a beginner– get lost.  Make mistakes.  Get messy. The goal of 2024 isn't an outcome but the becoming.   January 30 day goal– Laughter every day.  This one has been on my list for a while and I saved it for the most serious month I know.  It is the month where everyone wants to go hard and improve themselves.  I want to laugh.  I have a book to read, articles picked out, a couple of YouTube videos, and some family-friendly comedy specials. Motherhood is way too serious to be serious all of the time.  Goal– Laugh every day – if I don't feel like laughing, my option is to practice laughing for 5 minutes.   Children 300 times a day, adults 17.5    Family Fun: Watch a funny movie or TV show.  Let your kids see you let down your hair.  Ask them if they know if you like silly things.   Self-Care: Review your photos from 2023 and sign up for 30 Days of laughter. https://christythomascoaching.com/landing/january24 Grab a copy of Christy's Book-- You are the Right Mom: Bite Size Pep Talks Just For You: https://amzn.to/3RnNQBY Find me on Instagram:  Christy Thomas — Coach for Exhausted Moms (@everyday_christy) • Instagram photos and videos .
