September Is Your Head Start: Build Momentum Before January!
MORNING REFLECTION
As we move into a new month and eventually a new season, I’ve been thinking about one of the simplest ways we can create more structure in our lives.
Set a time to wake up every morning.
And do your best to honor it.
Even in the mornings you don’t feel like getting up.
Even on the weekends.
Even when your mind starts negotiating with you.
There’s something powerful about giving your day a consistent starting point.
Especially as the season begins to change, the mornings get darker, the weather gets cooler, and eventually the clocks change.
For me, that wake-up time becomes an anchor.
And once that anchor is in place, it becomes a little easier to build other things around it.
Your morning routine.
Your health.
Your work.
Your goals.
Whatever you’re looking to shift or improve as we approach the end of the year.
You don’t have to change everything at once.
Sometimes you just need one consistent place to start.
JEFFREY’S WEEKLY INSIGHT
Why September, Not January?
Why do we put so much pressure on January to change our lives?
New year. New goals. New habits. New me.
But what about September?
Here’s the thing most people won’t tell you.
While everybody else is waiting for the new year to get started, I believe September to December might be one of the most underrated times of the year to create change.
Living where we do, September almost feels like the end of summer.
But I’ve always looked at it differently.
Fall is my favorite season. The weather gets cooler, kids go back to school, and for some of us, life starts getting back into some sort of routine.
There’s a sweet spot here.
We still have four full months before the new year.
And if we’re not careful, those four months can blow right by us.
A couple of weeks ago, I talked about the power of momentum.
So what if we used September to start building it?
To shift something. Start something. Level up something.
Imagine walking into January already in motion.
Already feeling different.
Already becoming different.
Maybe September isn’t the beginning of the end of the year.
Maybe it’s your head start on the next one.
Onward and upward. 🚀
A Simple Practice: Set Your Anchor
Choose a time you’re going to wake up every morning for the next 7 days.
Write it down.
Set your alarm.
And do your best to honor it.
Even on the weekend.
Even when you don’t feel like getting up.
Don’t worry about changing everything else yet.
Just focus on creating one consistent starting point for your day.
At the end of the 7 days, ask yourself:
What changed when I stopped negotiating with my morning?
Sometimes momentum starts with something this simple.
