“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.” – Ben Franklin
Nothing like a fresh start.
A new day.
A new year.
Before we start piling up the RESOLUTIONS, we need to do something:
Hit the “Delete” button.
We all have aspects of our lives that no longer serve us well:
- BAD HABITS
- COMMITMENTS
- RELATIONSHIPS
Joshua Becker, wrote, “The first step in crafting the life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t.”
The start of the new year is a perfect time to hit the DELETE button.
3 Things We Need to DELETE:
BAD HABITS
Sometimes our habits turn on us.
I used to spend hours each day trying to stay up to date on current events.
I would read multiple newspapers and listen to hours of talk radio.
What started as trying to stay informed, turned into spending way too much time on events that I had no control over.
Habit DELETED.
Now I focus on things relevant to my daily life.
Hit the DELETE button.
Don’t let a BAD HABIT follow you into the new year.
COMMITMENTS
I was part of a weekly networking group.
At first it served me well.
I met new people and learned some creative ideas.
Then it got stale.
I kept showing up, even though it stopped being a good use of my time.
Eventually, I gathered up the courage to tell them I was not coming back.
I don’t think they even cared.
Lesson learned.
Can you think of a commitment that no longer makes sense?
Hit the DELETE button.
Don’t bring a tired commitment into the new year.
RELATIONSHIPS
Some relationships no longer make sense.
These relationships could be personal or professional.
Only you know who they are.
Time to muster up the COURAGE and move on.
Hit the DELETE button.
Don’t let a bad relationship stand in the way of a great year.
What do you need to DELETE in 2018?
Have the guts to make a change.
This will OPEN UP the space for all the good things to come.
Happy New Year!
Ready.
Set.
Delete.

Happy 2018, I think I’ll just archive though. Deletion of activities though, that is a good piece of advice.
