What will you keep and what have you washed away?

2021 is over, not soon enough for some. For others, for many reasons it was their best year ever. Yes, that is possible – I have clients who have this as their truth.

  What about you? What have you washed away with the date in the calendar and what will you keep and take into 2022?

What did you celebrate?

  What stories will live on?

Perhaps there are things that happened where the event itself was a negative at the time but the ultimate outcome or learnings were and still are positive…

Vitality

After 2 years of change or turmoil or opportunity, depending on what’s going on in your world on any given day, looking after your vitality or PEPP® as I call it, has never been more important.

The dictionary defines vitality as the state giving continuance of life to all living things. For me it’s a bit like the effervescence that oozes out of the bottle when a champagne cork pops. That’s not to say we have to be bubbly all of the time but aware of our bubbliness and whether we need to adjust it, especially if we’re feeling flat like there are no bubbles at all.

Sometimes we know that self-regulating or adjusting our vitality is what we need to do – and we know how to do it – and sometimes we don’t know how.

Start with PEPP®

When you don’t know how to change your vitality, start with PEPP®.

PEPP® is my acronym and “go to questions” both when things are terrific, and when they’re not. The questions for anything I do are:

  1. Is it taking me closer to my Purpose (or not)?
  2. Is it providing me with more Energy (or not)?
  3. Is it giving me Pleasure (or not)?
  4. Is it contributing more Profit (or not)? And this is not only talking about money.

And if any of those answers are a “NO” then I invite you to ask the next question which is

“Why am I continuing to do this thing?”

Sometimes we all have to do something short term that is against our preference but if we keep on doing things we don’t like indefinitely then we get sick either physically or mentally.

We need to make changes and sometimes we need support to do that.

Would you like more PEPP® in 2022?

Every day we have an opportunity to start over. Every minute of every day in fact.

In his book “When” Daniel H Pink lists 86 dates for effectively making a fresh start such as a Monday or the first day of the month or your birthday.

If you’d like a vitality make over… more PEPP® in your step in 2022 then make a decision now to join the PEPP® Express Program.

There are a few dates to choose from and you can do so from the comfort of your own chair. If you’re in Brisbane then hopefully we can be in the room together. Check out the options here NOW.

So, what will you keep and what have you washed away?

For me 2021 was another year of consolidation for my message about the importance of looking after our vitality or PEPP® for the sake of our mental as well as physical health. With Queensland and other borders still mostly closed I’ve had to adapt to an online world for some of my work.

Yes there were “real rooms” but also a lot of Zoom rooms or recording “studios” where I presented to one person and a camera with a message that was relayed to hundreds online.

There were also some different experiences and learnings that came from living on a hobby farm for a month – including when chicks hatched – and more sailing and boat renovations. And, when the water washed over 2021 on the beach, I decided to take my pink shoes into another year… J

  I’d love to know what you’re keeping from 2021 and what you’re letting wash away?
