Welcome the New Year of 2020 Third Eye Vision

Happy New Year!

We’ve just entered 2020, a new year and a new decade!

Along with celebrating the end/beginning of a year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past year and envision the next one to come.

We all have the ambition to make our lives better. Better health, better relationships, better opportunities, better work-life balance and most of all, make better music.

In this post, I’d like to help you not only envision what 2020 will look for you but how to transform yourself into the person to turn that vision into reality!

2020 Vision

Someone with 20/20 vision has optimal use of their eyes.

However, how clearly can you see your future through your mind’s eye?

The single most important step towards accomplishing your new year's resolutions is to have a CLEAR vision; to have 20/20 vision in terms of your goals and desires.

This is the perfect analogy for the year 2020. Muahaha

The better you can paint the picture of what you would like to accomplish, the easier it will be to make a plan.

The more detailed you define the steps to achieve your goals, the easier it will be to take action.

The clearer you can make the vision of what your life will look like when you achieve your goals, the easier it will be to stay motivated.

You will need something else beyond just having a dream of your beautiful future though. As the year progresses you will inevitably face obstacles and internal resistance.

To successfully overcome these roadblocks will take a purpose behind your actions. The eternal spark of motivation.

Your “Why?”

Why do you want to achieve the goals you’ve set? Why do you have to desire to change? Why did you choose this path?

The psychological framework of a purpose, meaning, and belief behind your actions is HELLA powerful.

If you can identify a deeply meaningful purpose behind your goals, it will be your guiding light of internal motivation. The reason why you WON’T give up.

Purposeful work and meaningful action towards your goals are the foundation of perseverance. And perseverance is a pre-requisite for success.

New year's resolutions aren’t all about visions though, usually, they involve some sort of self-transformation. The person you need to become to achieve what you want to accomplish.

2020 Transformation

In order to accomplish the goals you’ve set, you have to transform yourself.

Transform your habits, your behaviors and most importantly your thinking.

Unless you’re already making consistent progress towards your goals, you won’t progress without changing something.

You will need to re-visit your habits, emotions and how you think about yourself and your work.

If you can change your perceptions about obstacles, roadblocks or so-called failures towards a positive interpretation, you’ll be equipped to overcome any challenge that comes your way.

In the face of resistance, choose how you will react. If you make a mistake, choose to look at it as an opportunity to learn and adjust your approach. You must harness the psychology of positivity!

In truth, you are already the person you want to be, you just have to find it within yourself. All lasting change comes from the inside.

The fact that you’re able to see yourself in a different future means you already have the mindset to change and grow as a human being.

All that’s left is for you to embody the changes that you’re envisioning.

2020 Manifesto

Vision check. Transformation check. What’s next?

Action.

All your hopes, dreams and plans will never manifest themselves without consistent action.

Therefore, you need to find something that will help you commit to taking action.

Personally, I use a physical planner. I refresh myself on my goals and underlying purpose daily. I have a vision board with pictures and symbols of what I’d like to achieve. Finally, I constantly surround myself with motivational and inspiring material.

In the end, it’s up to you to find the strategies and tools to help you stay positive and motivated towards your goals. No one can do it for you.
