Stop Planning Your Comeback
What momentum are you planning to accelerate on January 1st? Because here's the thing about acceleration—it requires sustained force applied in one direction. You can accelerate from zero, but only if you keep pushing consistently. Stop pushing, and you coast back to nothing.
So what exactly are you going to push against come January? What's your sustained force going to be?
What's Already Moving?
When did you last check what's actually working in your life right now? Not what should be working. Not what you wish was working. What's going on without you having to force it every day?
Maybe it's that client relationship that flows. The skill you've been quietly building. The routine you've maintained without white-knuckling through it. Why are you ignoring that in favour of planning something completely new?
Where Does January's Energy Actually Go?
The new year gives you a burst of energy—everyone feels it. But energy without direction is just restlessness. Are you pointing that energy at amplifying what's already working? Or are you spreading it across seventeen new habits you'll abandon by February?
What would happen if you took January's momentum and aimed it entirely at the one thing that's been steadily moving forward in your life?
What Are You Actually Accelerating?
Your New Year's resolution shouldn't be "become someone new." What if it were "do more of what's already working"?
Look at your last three months. What moved forward without drama? What felt sustainable? What created results while you were busy planning other things? That's where January's force belongs.
Point your acceleration at what's already moving.
