Happy New Year, my friends. Although today isn’t my favorite holiday, I do respect what it signifies and I appreciate the positive starting point it offers so many people. As we begin another year, let me just offer three quick tips on how to set yourself up for success in 2019…

First, get organized. Start the year fresh. Clean your house, tidy up your office, and wash your car. Get a haircut, clean out the fridge, and eliminate clutter. Hang up a 2019 calendar and briefly look through it. Make note the days of the week that certain significant dates fall on. Fully prepare yourself for the next 365 days (or 364 days) by going in rejuvenated.

Second, set goals. Make sure to shoot for something. Your mindset should be to finish the year as a better person than when you started it. Write your goals down and hold yourself accountable!

Third, develop a healthy routine. Aim to live each day of the year by introducing a couple of good habits into your daily schedule. Think of these habits more as resolutions than goals. For example, read a few pages from a book each day and eat veggies every night with dinner. Or, pray every morning and do some at-home exercises before going to bed.

Live your best life in 2019. You don’t need to win a Nobel Peace Prize but you can definitely improve yourself. I hope this is the best year ever for you. Don’t Blink.
