One year ago today I posted my most opened (and read) email. It was titled ‘Why 2015 won’t be your best year ever’.
Lots of the items on the must-do list relied on you using a large helping of that good old will power to make a change.
The problem with will power is, it can be a pain the butt to summon up; especially at the times when you really need it.
That’s why Will Power’s lesser-known, but even more effective, cousin needs a little more exposure. Introducing Won’t Power.
Your 2016 will be defined as much by what you won’t do as what you will do.
So here’s a challenge – take a few minutes and make a list of 5 things you won’t be doing in 2016 – then get cracking on building that Won’t Power muscle.
Here are a few to get you started:
- I won’t spend time with overly negative people
- I won’t back down on something I believe in
- I won’t use my phone/tablet/device when I should be listening
- I won’t drink for 100/150/200 days in 2016
- I won’t hold a grudge
- I won’t keep eating once I am full
- I won’t miss an opportunity to pay a compliment
- I won’t procrastinate
Sometimes it’s a simple flip that makes the goal, action, or way of life just that little easier.
Have a Brilliant 2016.
Michael
