Where Do We Go From Here? 5 Ways to Make This Year Your Best Yet

We made it through 2012—the hype, the prophecies, the fiscal cliff, and all the dust that came with it. And guess what? We’re still here.

Now, the real question is: Where do we go from here?

We’ve all heard it before: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” So, let’s not repeat old cycles. Let’s step into something NEW.

Here are my top five ideas for making this year the best one yet:

1️⃣ Live Each Day Like There’s No Tomorrow

Stop waiting. That dream you’ve been putting off? Start it. The words you’ve been meaning to say? Speak them. The experiences you’ve been craving? Go after them.

2️⃣ Take Care of YOURSELF First—Physically, Emotionally & Spiritually

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritize yourself without guilt. Eat well, rest, move your body, and take time to process your emotions. Say no when needed. Your well-being matters.

3️⃣ Stay in Gratitude—Give Thanks at Least Once an Hour

Seriously, set a reminder. Gratitude shifts everything. It reprograms your brain, raises your vibration, and magnetizes more good things into your life. Start small—one thank-you at a time.

4️⃣ Be in Integrity—In Thought, Word & Deed

If it doesn’t align with who you are or who you want to be, don’t do it. Live in your truth. Say what you mean. Follow through. Let your actions match your values. Integrity is freedom.

5️⃣ Operate from the HEART—in LOVE, with TRUTH

Love is the highest frequency. If you lead with love—toward yourself, toward others, toward your dreams—you cannot go wrong. Stay open, stay honest, and let your heart guide the way.
