It's pretty common for motivation to dip in these last months of the year. But we still have a lot of time left to make progress and achieve goals! Looking at our daily habits is a great way to give our motivation a little boost, and it's always a good time to create new, positive habits (not just at the beginning of a new year). What if you... 1?? Made a to-do list every afternoon for the next day? 2?? Wrote down 3 wins at the end of each day? 3?? Posted on LinkedIn daily? 4?? Listened to a motivational podcast each week? 5?? Practiced just 5 minutes of better daily self-care? 6?? Committed to getting out of the office daily for a walk and some fresh air? 7?? Scheduled lunches every week with friends? The possibilities are endless. The key is to commit to making habits that will help you feel more excited and motivated about the rest of the year. What are you willing to commit to?

Less than 3 months left in 2024! Can you believe it? How's your momentum and motivation holding up? Here's a quick plan that can help you check-in with remaining goals and strengthen your commitment for the remainder of the year: 1?? Audit your goals or intentions from the beginning of 2024 and decide if it's worth it and realistic to continue pursuing them now. Are they no longer relevant? Would it be better to move to next year? 2?? If you still want to achieve certain goals, consider how you may need to change your approach. Break them down into bite-size milestones with actionable steps. Even if you don't meet the overall goal, maybe you can make progress toward it and complete next year. 3?? Celebrate any and all wins, large and small. Achievers are notorious for rushing into the next thing. You've probably already accomplished a lot more than you realize. Celebrations matter and help sustain momentum. Some of us feel pressed under the end-of-the-year time crunch, but others may thrive in knowing that a shorter time remains to reach goals. We can still accomplish a lot in 2024! _______________ Where do you fall on that spectrum?
