Believe in miracles and balance your daily life: Bee Bosnak
Bee Bosnak, Spiritual Business Mentor, believes you should eat well, sleep well, love well, and always believe in miracles. When you take care of yourself you will have the energy, zest, and motivation to do things essential to your well-being. Without this, we can feel empty. With no fuel and purpose, there is no desire.
Comfort zone hampers growth
We must continue to show up to things that matter most in life. We must show up, whether in patience, time, or action. Actions bring results, and no one who stays in their comfort zone grows, Bee conveyed.
Circumstances don't define you: Amberly Deavours
Amberly Deavours, Life and Health Coach, believes our circumstances don't determine how anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed we are, nor do they determine how content, peaceful or calm we are. Our thoughts around them determine all of it. How you show up in one area of your life is how you'll show up in every area of your life.
Take responsibility for your thoughts and actions
Amberly also tells that we must take responsibility for our thoughts and actions, and doing something about one aspect of our life, should help other areas follow suit.
Let your overthinking go away: Leisse Wilcox
Master Success and Self Actualization Coach, Leisse Wilcox states to let go of what was, and what you thought it would be, and flow into accepting what is. Trust that it's how it was "supposed to be." There's no such thing as certainty or security. During this moment, we have less control over what happens, and more control over how we respond to everything.
Self-reflect and question yourself
We must self-reflect and ask ourselves who we are, independent of the roles we play; what brings us joy, what our values are, and if we're living in alignment with those. This may clarify whether you're making decisions because you want to, or if it is to keep someone else happy.
Mindset is everything, especially when times are tough: Kassy Pagarillo
Kassy Pagarillo believes mindset is everything, especially today. We must focus on impact, transformation, and work-life integration, to serve love, never chase money, what we believe in to be true and that we are what we believe in, and this will reflect in our actions.
Don't compare yourself with someone else
For those ready to take charge of their life this year, she states we should wear some blinders and stay in our lane. Don't compare your chapter 1 with someone else's chapter 10. Train like an athlete, don't dive into bells and whistles without understanding an immersive focus on systems, processes, and structures.

Brianna Rose, CEO of Light Leader Collective, says we should be prepared to pivot and adapt, and not be afraid to throw out our perfectly created plans. We should dive in on our vision and go big. Finding a solid support system and like-minded people's community can keep us accountable for our dreams. Each New Year's Eve, Brianna gets clear on the upcoming year.
Analyze your feelings, describe them in a word
Brianna asks herself how she wants it to feel, what she wants to accomplish, and what she's calling in and comes up with a word that embodies what she desires. She's then faced with a challenge, decision, or growth opportunity, and primarily asks herself whether it matches up with her word for that year or not.
Know which actions help you in building confidence: Shanna Lee

Thoughts are so powerful that they become your reality
