6 Non Negotiables To Make This Year Your Best Yet

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. 

I believe in doing what works, and that we learn that from failing forward. 

So for 2025, I have pulled together the 6 things that are non-negotiable for me moving forward and I encourage you to try as many as you can. 

1.) Tap Daily - sounds obvious coming from an EFT Trainer and Mentor but even before I was certifying others in this amazing tool, I was tapping every single day myself. I felt a difference immediately in my body, mind and life and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt this is the one that will change your life and yearIF you do it. You can always follow my Daily Tap on Facebook, LinkedIn or YouTube if you struggle to do it off your own bat. 

2.) Catch & adjust the "black and white" self talk - this is a hard earned one for me because my 2/4 manifesting generator mind is ALWAYS on and ALWAYS analysing stuff for me. Thank goodness I found a way to change it. When you catch yourself saying "I should/ought to/must/shouldn't/always/never..." catch it, and change that wording to whatever of the following fits "I wonder if /maybe I can / perhaps I could / I don't have to. .. / I'd love to feel like I can / I want to be able to" The more attuned language doesn't create resistance in our ego mind because it doesn't suggest imminent change and therefore possible danger. 

3.) Spend time actually IN your body - most of us don't a lot of the time. We have been trained to operate from our heads, to solve problems, to be on the top of our game etc. But ignoring our bodies is dangerous because it's always guiding us, if we can find a way to listen. Try this; Notice where you're holding any tension, tightness, discomfort or even pain. Notice what you notice about each sensation; the texture, temperature, density, heaviness, location, shape, colour etc. It may take a little practice but eventually it will come naturally. Then for each sensation, ask yourself "what emotion or feeling is underneath that? What is it calling me to do?" This will guide you to your best decisions ever. 

4.) Give your brain Whitespace - that means time where you are doing literally nothing but just BEing, so it can process what it's just learned / experienced. No phone, no book, no music, no tv, No journalling, No tarot cards, no self care. Just sit and be. It could feel really uncomfortable at first so you could set an alarm for 2 minutes and then put your phone in another room. Build up gradually, and during that time, replenish the minerals and salts your brain lost by drinking water, juice or herbal tea, a small amount of nuts, piece of fruit etc. When you go back to it, you will be way more focused than before and you won't experience the end of a busy day binge fest, or resulting weight gain either. 

5.) Tune out the noise - this one is pivotal to making decisions, getting traction, taking action in any part of your life. There is so much going on around us all the time, it can get quite overwhelming. So, to tune out the noise, try this; set a timer for 5 minutes, cross your hands over under your collarbones and tap with alternate hands while taking some slow breaths in and out. Breathe in through your nose for 4 and out through your mouth for 6 or more. This is a shortcut to getting out of busymind or even a stress response, and into calm decision making space. When you feel a downshift, stop tapping and ask yourself the question you want an answer or decision on. 

6.) Prioritise yourself - and I'm not talking about going for a salt bath. There will always be something vying for your attention, but when you are burned out or already overwhelmed, you must get realistic about why you aren't saying no, or putting boundaries around things. If you ask yourself these 4 questions, I PINKY PROMISE you will get the clarity you seek and realise it's safe and ok to prioritise you. The questions are; 

  • What would happen if I prioritised myself?
  • What wouldn't happen if I prioritised myself?
  • What would happen if I didn't prioritise myself?
  • What wouldn't happen if I didn't prioritise myself? 

You can use this Cartesian Logic question technique for anything you want to make a decision on but are struggling to. 

So, that's it from my side. But id love to know if this resonates, and which one you feel drawn to doing! Hit Reply and let me know!

To your evolution!
