What a year 2020! Undoubtedly it was very tough being in lockdown and feeling how our visions faded away. However, starting April 2021 you have 39 weeks to squeeze the most out of this year, Therefore, take advantage as your new and best year starts on April!
After going through 12 months of stress due to the pandemic, it is time to reprogram your life so that you achieve the success you want and make it last over time.
Gretchen Rubin, author of several books on habits and happiness, proposes to use beginnings as a trick to establish new habits and routines.
Why don’t you take advantage of the new month and quarter and start taking intentional actions to reach the best results you want to get this year?
Really it doesn’t matter whether or not you have preconceived goals; just ask yourself, what can you achieve in the next few weeks? It is time to focus on executing the plan that will take you where you want to be with joy, enthusiasm and faith.
Are you interested?
Great that you said YES, to make April your new beginning!

What did you achieve? What are your family and friends telling you? What do you say to yourself? Where in your body, you feel this sense of fulfilment?
