As we come close to the end of the year, no matter what field of endeavor you are in, it’s important to finish strong. As I have said before, winners finish strong!
You have set some goals and you have expectations of yourself. Perhaps you did not reach what you wanted to, but that’s OK. The natural tendency is to give up and wait until next year. Let me encourage you to finish strong and bring that momentum into the new year.
You have a choice. You can give up or give it all that it takes. Now is the time to bring all your energies and skills and get rid of all excuses. You have the power to choose to finish strong.
As you make the commitment to finish this year strong, start today by writing out your goals for the rest of the year, and carry that momentum of finishing strong into the new year.
Make sure these goals are specific and realistic. Set a deadline and let’s go out and make it happen.
Break down your goals into small bites, which will help you celebrate your small victories. You need this momentum to finish strong. The small goals are all part of you achieving your big goals.
Momentum is the key to finishing strong. You gain momentum when you reach each one of these small goals. This will help you to become more consistent.
As you commit to finishing strong, make sure you establish a morning regimen. For example, reflect on the day ahead, look in the mirror and give yourself a big smile. You also want to make sure that you eat breakfast. Exercise and go for a walk. Write down three important things that you would like to accomplish and make sure you do them.
Do not wait till the first of the year to start this. Do this today and commit to finishing strong.
You will find as you begin the new year, you now have momentum.
Think about this! Many people talk about New Year’s resolutions, and they have no momentum as they begin to start working at their goals. This is why many give up almost before they even get started. Let me encourage you to start now and start right where you are. Commit to finishing strong. When the new year begins, you will be riding high as you begin to set new goals.
Having a good morning routine is important, but it is also important to end your day on a positive note. You must be an optimistic finisher. No matter how each day has gone, it’s important to have positive self-talk. Any time that you doubt your ability to finish strong, always respond with positive affirmations.
Control your thoughts and do not allow any fears or doubts to control you. When you commit to finishing strong, you’re going to need all the support you can find to stay the course.
As you assess the aspects of your life, you need to finish strong. You have made a commitment to being the best that you can be, and doing what it takes to achieve your dreams. Look in the mirror today and smile and say “Winners finish strong, and I am a winner!
Always remember, you have what it takes to finish what you started. Choose to finish strong!
