2021 Can Be The Best Year of Your Life. Here’s How!

by D'Arcy Benincosa

2021 Can Be The Best Year of Your Life. Here's How!

Call me a human fortune cookie, but I predict that 2021 truly can be your year… I know that’s taboo to say after the year we just had, but Coronavirus or not – it’s up to you to make it great. In this episode I’m predicting the top 10 things that will turn 2021 into your most fruitful year. Some of these things will require radical change, but I always say that the same habits bring the same results. So are you ready to make some major changes in your life and show 2021 who’s boss? Hit play to dive in!

10 Ways You Can Make 2021 The Best Year:

1. Your Self Love is going to be the most important journey of the year:

You have to trust your own heart and journey, stay true to yourself, and stop hiding. From there you’ll find your voice, your place in the world, and your purpose.

2. Expand Your Horizons:

NEW collaborations, masterminds, and groups will be an important aspect of growth this year. Get uncomfortable and put yourself in a room of brand new people who are aligned with your goals and brand. Collaboration is key in making money, feeling supported, and shedding the feeling of loneliness and competition that is so very present in the creative industry.

3. Free Yourself from the Judgements of Others and Yourself:

Imagine a life where you were free from what other people thought about you… Life-changing, right?! It’s time to challenge yourself to push past those fears and create content that pushes those boundaries you’ve made for yourself. Be BRAVE and put yourself out into the world.

4. Your Intuition Needs to Take Center Stage:

When you start listening to your gut, you’ll get clearer on your path to wealth. The most successful entrepreneurs have become in tune to their intuition and actually follow those feelings.

5. Get Outside of Your Comfort Zone:

Your current beliefs about something need to change. Something hidden gets to be explored. It’s the year to go to the edge of your comfort zone. Try things that you wouldn’t normally do – and release the obligation to post about it on social media. 

Set a sign when something is the right path. For example, if you’re wanting to do something, but you’re not sure if it’s right or when it’s right, something (very specific) will happen.

6. Give Up TV, Media & Social Media for Long Periods of Time:

Being tuned into the noise is keeping you distracted. It’s keeping you from being in tune with the truth. Make sure you are listening to your gut instead of what is being told by the media. Spend more time meditating and developing truth and beauty.

7. Focus on Your Health (Including Mental Health):

Don’t sacrifice sleep. Take vitamins and be intentional with what you fuel your body with. Get outside and exercise. Focus on your self care in order to keep a clear mind.

8. Start Living From Your Heart NOT Your Head:

The heart doesn’t need a million dollars. The heart needs love and connection. 

9. Energy is Real – and it can be blocked

It is up to you to remove the blocks. The right people can come into your life to help you release the blocks. Get energy work done and pay attention to your energies and what isn’t flowing in your life.

10. Learn More About Bringing Pleasure & Party Into Your Life:

What are you denying yourself? Dance parties, long baths, long walks, etc. Bring more parties and celebration into your life. Even for the small things.

  1. I’m hearing you! Been listening. I’m so burnt out. Running on fumes. Gotta do self care. Feel the need to reach out even though I’m a venue/designer/planner and only a wanna be photographer. 😉 Great to hear from someone who is also progressive and also believes that they can do their part in saving the world! Will be in touch.
