Caution: Mistake Zone Ahead

 Remember all those regrets you had at the end of the year last year?  You told yourself, "If only I skipped all those wrong foods I ate at all those holiday parties."  Or you asked, "Why did I neglect my exercise routine?"  You don't have to suffer the fourth quarter blues is you make some positive changes now.

The mistake zone is familiar territory for most of us.  Something happens when we approach the end of the year.  We slip.  January 1 is right around the corner.  We assume everything will be okay if we let go of all our goals and wait until the new year to get back on track.

Imagine for a moment that this year you decide to proceed with caution as you enter the mistake zone.  What would happen if you decided to remain focused on all those goals you set at the beginning of the year?  How would your life be if you entered 2024 with no regrets about the current year?  This could be your first year ever where your base camp is actually on the summit of 2023 instead of in a deep valley.

Today is a great day to decide you will navigate the mistake zone without hitting any cones.  Go for it.  Have a great day.
