How to get ready for a strong 2024
Whatās up, Hustlers!
Time is flying. We've got less than two weeks left in 2023. Can you believe it?
As the year wraps up, I like to dive into reflection and set the stage for a new mantra. Whatās on repeat for this next season of my life? āI'm not done yet.ā
Watch out, 2024āweāre just getting started.

.WHAT IāM THINKING ABOUT.
Have you ever made a mental movie reel? Itās a powerful mental strength exercise that will help you visualize your full potential. š„
I developed the mental movie reel exercise when I started training for marathons, but this technique can be useful in everyday life, too. Hereās what you need to do:
Remember some of the biggest challenges you've conquered and the accomplishments you've achieved in the past year.
Write down 2ā3 instances, and be as detailed as possible. Draw a mental imageāvisualize what you were wearing, who you were with, and your surroundings. I recommend revisiting the scenario in both the first and third person. The specificity triggers a powerful emotional response, reconnecting you to the experience and reinforcing your strength.
Practice visualizing these moments of strength and resilience before you go to bed or whenever you need a confidence boost. At first it may feel odd, but it takes practice. These victories reinforce your ability to turn pain into power.
I'm curiousāwhat's playing on your mental movie reel? Share it here, and I'll highlight some of the best moments in an upcoming newsletter! A community highlight reel? Epic. š„
.WHAT IāM REFLECTING ON THIS YEAR.

Question: How do you prioritize your self care during the holidays?
Answer: I just did a collab with parenting expert Dr. Becky Kennedy talking about just this. Hereās my take:
First: I use my no to protect my yes. There is no room for a mediocre yes this season. Everything should be a hell yes, or else itās a no. I also loved Dr. Beckyās POV: āSaying no to someone else is saying yes to myself.ā
Second: I ask for help from the most important stakeholders in my life. I tell my loved ones how they can support me in relentlessly pursuing my priorities and protecting my peace. Itās a team effort!
Third: I get a reality check. That means bending so I donāt break. I do my best to release my idea of what something must be and instead take bite-sized, consistent moments thatāll help me get where Iām going.
