It's that time of year again where students from Pre-K to PhD gear up for a new season of learning. As a child, I remember the excitement of the preparation for a new school year. One of the best things about it was that you got lots of new stuff. Everything was brand new, fresh, neat, and organized from the clothes to the school supplies. Everyone looked forward to the first day outfit, sporting a new backpack, and new shoes. It never got old!
As I reflected on these fond memories it dawned on me that what excited me as a youth has value as a life application today. Here are 4 Back to School jewels we can apply to our everyday lives to increase our val-you:
- Develop a fresh perspective. Apply a new outlook as you work toward improving your current situation.
- Discard old mindsets that didn't serve you well in the past. Make room for the growth you are expecting.
- Organize your thoughts and ideas into manageable tasks. Don't be intimidated by the size of task. You can eat the elephant one bite at a time. Bon a petit!
- Pack your bag in advance. What good is having supplies if you can't access them when you need them? Your mental backpack should contain a positive attitude, affirmations, a list of your goals, and what defines what success means for you.
We are getting ready to head into the 4th quarter of 2016. It's a great time to finish strong and get a headstart on next year's success strategies!
