Four Steps To Make 2020 The Year Your Heart Longs For

Create Your Own Game-Changing 2020.

Want to have your best year ever in 2020? Throw out your New Year's resolutions!

Only 8% of people keep their resolutions.

Instead, choose your 2020 THEME - one or two words that represent your heart's longing.

Consider the following: This past year, Danny’s theme was HOME, where he focused on being grounded, energized, and filled to the brim with community, connection, and comfort. It worked. 

Lisa’s 2020 theme will be SUSTAINABILITY. She will focus on building the systems needed to sustain a rapidly growing business, orienting Kavi to make greater contributions towards a more equitable and inclusive society, reducing her own footprint by downsizing, and sustaining her ability to give back by working her personal resiliency plan. 

Your own personal 2020 theme will guide you as your north star. It doesn’t have the sharp judgment that a New Year’s resolution has, instead it is your gentle reliable compass… always moving you forward to the person you want to be, and the life you want to have.

Are you ready to allow yourself some time and space to let your 2020 THEME find you?

Here is our simple 60-minute, 4-step process for identifying your own 2020 THEME

Step 1: Complete a Goals Grid.

Take some time to inventory words and phrases that are important to you as you think about a successful 2020. Consider two questions: 

  1. Do you have it?  

  2. Do you want it? 

From those two questions come all that you want to...

  • ACHIEVE 

  • RETAIN 

  • AVOID

  • ELIMINATE 

… in 2020.

Step 2: Do a Mind Map.

Complete a simple mind map to further inventory what your 2020 can look like. Brainstorm and free associate what’s important to you. I suggest doing it freehand, but this free online tool is terrific. 

Step 3: Sleep on it.

Look over your Goals Grid and your mind map, see what theme possibilities suggest themselves, then give yourself a night to sleep on the one that really speaks to you. Don’t rush this step. You’ll see what I mean... makes a huge difference in identifying the really powerful theme that will truly support you in 2020.

Step 4: Make yourself accountable.

When you have your own personal powerful 2020 THEME, put it everywhere. 

  • Put it in your calendar so it pops up every day January 1 - March 31.

  • Write it on Post-Its for your bedroom and bathroom mirrors.

  • Tell the world -- post it on your favorite social media channel. 

  • Tell us what your 2020 theme is! (Let me help you hold yourself accountable to yourself.) 

You have a 65% chance of completing a goal if you commit to someone. And if you have a specific accountability appointment with a person you’ve committed, you will increase your chances of success by up to 95%!

A personal 2020 theme is so much smarter and more effective than your typical New Year’s “resolution.” We hope you will try it. It’s changed our lives.
