The start of a new year is a powerful opportunity for a fresh beginning. It's a time to reflect on the past, set intentions for the future, and, most importantly, get clear on what you want to create for the new year. As we enter 2024, I want to help rekindle the flames of our inner purpose and get a head start on unleashing the abundance that resides within. Here's 5 things you can do to start 2024 with abundance.

Before we dive into the "how," let's start with the "why." Your "why" is the driving force behind everything you do. It's the purpose that fuels your actions and gives meaning to your life. Take some time to reflect on what truly ignites your passion. What is the deeper reason behind your goals and aspirations? When you reconnect with your "why," you tap into a wellspring of motivation and clarity that propels you forward.

Right now, I'm doing deep WHY work. It's the foundation. It's the only thing that matters. WHY. Why are you here. Why were you born. What is your purpose?

Go deep. I'm spending anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour a day meditating on my purpose, articulating it, writing it down, refining it.

My Sensei (yes, I have a Sensei and he's awesome.), says your why should make you cry. That's what I'm going after, and that's what I encourage you to do the same.

So here's an exercise:
1) Get a pen and paper, and write, "My life Purpose is to:"
2) Sit in silence and write whatever flows through you
3) Sit with it, re-read it, rewrite it, refine it, come back to it everyday

Another good one to try is Dean Graziosi's 7 Levels Deep... simply ask yourself why 7 times over.

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment. It's a powerful tool for self-discovery AND inviting abundance into your life. How can you take advantage of abundant opportunities if you aren't mindful when they show up?

Consider integrating mindfulness practices like meditation or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine. These practices not only reduce stress but also enhance your self-awareness, a necessary ingredient to an abundant life.

As you work on your why and practice mindfulness, set intentional goals that align with your newfound insights. What areas of your life do you want to transform in 2024? Be specific and actionable. Whether it's improving your health, deepening your relationships, or pursuing a new career path, your goals should reflect your values and purpose.

Make it easy on yourself to start - write 3 goals you have for Q1 of 2024. My #1, is to weigh 180 pounds by March 10, 2024 - that's losing 30 pounds. My #2 is to launch this membership site, Abundant Life Blueprint. My #3 is to work on deepening my relationship with my girlfriend...

What are yours?
