🗓️ Welcome, November! God, take complete control of my November and December. Everyone! There is an opportunity for a Two-Month Power Play! The final curtain is beginning to fall on the year, and November has arrived—not as a slow decline, but as an opportunity for an incredible two-month power play leading into a new year.
We know the landscape—financially, physically, the world around us may not feel entirely favorable. But a new year isn't about hoping the world changes for you; it's about holding yourself accountable to own your future growth, regardless of outside conditions. Be not dismayed. Now is the time to build resilience.
🔑We're not aiming for perfection—we're aiming for a strong finish and an even stronger launch. Here are three profound areas to focus your energy on for self-betterment:
1. 🧘 Mental & Emotional Clarity
This is the most crucial step for a fresh start. You can't chart a new course if you're still carrying last year's baggage. My Shift & Thrive workbook will focus you.
• Audit Your Year (The Wins & Lessons): Set aside a focused hour. Write down your Top 3 Accomplishments and your Top 3 Biggest Lessons of 2025. Don't dwell on failures; extract the wisdom. Replicating your successes and avoiding past mistakes is the fastest path to growth.
• Establish a Gratitude Ritual: The antidote to global financial or physical stress is finding the sound right where you are. Commit to a simple, daily Gratitude Journal (even just three bullet points a day) to shift your focus from lack to abundance.
• Practice "Digital Declutter": Our focus is our most valuable asset. Set a measurable goal to reduce social media or screen time—perhaps a digital detox day each week, or limiting app use to 30 minutes a day.
Free up that mental space for creative thinking and genuine presence in real life.
2. 💪 Health and Habit Systems
Forget a significant overhaul. Focus on building small, repeatable systems that will carry into January and beyond.
• Master One New Core Habit: Pick ONE high-impact habit and make it non-negotiable for 60 days. This could be drinking a set amount of water, going for a 20-minute walk daily, or meditating for 5 minutes. Success is built on consistency, not intensity.
• The Sleep Reset: Stop treating sleep as a luxury. Commit to a consistent bedtime and wake-up time seven days a week for the next two months. This regulates your energy, focus, and emotional resilience far more than any new diet or workout.
• Proactive Planning (The "Next Day" Prep): Before you go to bed, spend 5 minutes preparing for the next day. Lay out your workout clothes, pack your lunch, or write down your top three tasks. This simple habit eliminates morning decision-fatigue and boosts your self-efficacy.
3. 💸 Financial and Environmental Tidiness (The Fresh Slate)
Prepare your environment and your finances to welcome new energy and opportunity.
• The 10-Minute Declutter: Don't wait for a spring clean. Pick one small area each week (such as a drawer, your desktop files, or a shelf) and declutter it for just 10 minutes. A clear space is a clear mind, making room for new ideas to emerge.
• Review Your Spending: Take an honest look at your last two months of spending. Identify ONE small, recurring "leak" (daily coffee, subscription you don't use, impulse online buys) and cut it out or dramatically reduce it for the last two months. This small financial victory builds momentum for your 2026 budget.
• Tie Up a Loose End: Is there a pending personal project, an appointment you've put off, or a minor administrative task (like updating your resume or cleaning out your email inbox) that you've been dragging through the year?
Finish it this month. End the year with a powerful sense of completion, not procrastination. Anchor Yourself!
November isn't a holding pattern—it’s a launchpad. The new year doesn't magically bestow success; you set the stage for it right now.
Hold yourself accountable, take ownership of these small, profound actions, and stride into the new year not hoping for change, but being the change.
