Every month I host a Zoom call for a group of people who are "working on themselves" - psychologically / spiritually and sometimes physically.

The process they engage in throughout the year is designed to make them conscious... Conscious of their thoughts, their impulses, their drivers, their behaviours, their excuses and their outcomes.

The process to achieve this is VERY simple. They just agree to keep a daily practice. The practice must be simple in nature, do-able no matter what, and measurable. Some examples; 10 minutes of physical exercise, journal a full page each day, meditate for 15 minutes, read 10 minutes of a non-fiction book each day etc. There are other things like diets and abstinence but they are a bit more advanced and not relevant here and now.

In December each year I ask, what worked, what have you noticed about yourself and your circumstances that have changed? The outcomes and insights are always terrific. For example; new jobs / careers / businesses, new or improved relationships, more money, less weight, fitter, stronger, less baggage, less stress, happier and so on.

How can this be? How can 10 minutes of non-fiction reading lead to me being happier with better relationships and a better income? The short answer is that you start to trust yourself, you listen to yourself and can spot self-defeating narratives and you begin to act differently (that's the core of it but there's lots of nuance which I can explain at a later stage).

The bottom line, change doesn't just happen, you have to make it happen and that means thinking and doing things differently.

On Saturday when I ask these guys... "What really worked this year" I know we are in for some amazing stories.

So how about you? What Really Worked This Year?
