Your 2025 (Password) Reset
Could Your Password Change Your Life?
Yes! As we reflect on the lessons learned from the past few years, we can use them to get clear on what we want most going forward. The key to getting what we want is to focus on it. This can be done with visual reminders, calendar reminders, apps, or an accountability partner. One really easy, practical way: Make your password reflect your goals!
What You Focus On Grows
I have utilized my passwords to reflect my dreams and goals for 5 years now. I type my password in multiple times per day, every day, as I am sure most of you do. Talk about a consistent reminder! And so practical and easy.
So did it really change my life? Yes! Each one has come to fruition, although in ways that I could not have predicted.
We get what we put out into the world. If we continue to think and talk about what we are doing, we get more of what we are currently doing.
Worse yet, if we complain about what we don't like, we get more of that too :(
But when we talk about our dreams and goals on a consistent basis, opportunities open up and we start to notice how we can get closer to what we REALLY want.
It is all a matter of focus.
Example: Right now, scan the room you are in for 15 seconds. What jumps out at you?
Now focus on the color blue. Re-scan the room for 15 seconds. What do you notice now? My guess is that the blue items became more obvious.
This is how life works. If you focus on your dreams and goals, you start to notice the opportunities and places where you can work towards them. But if you just float through life, it is too easy to overlook those same opportunities.
What you focus on grows.
I used to set my password to a favorite animal with a symbol and number so that I could appease my IT folks and remember it. But typing in "Penguin 123&" wasn't doing anything for me. It wasn't hurting me of course, but it wasn't helping me either.
In 2019 I used a password similar to "TropicalLife#2020". (I can't share the actual pw with you because that is an IT no-no!) I typed it in everyday, multiple times per day.
I set that password pre-Covid and the reality of me living in a tropical location was as far-fetched as I could imagine, as my family and I lived and worked in NJ.
But it was my dream so I used it as my password. If nothing else, it was easy for me to remember.
Covid opened the opportunity for remote work, the chance to rent and experiment on a tropical island during 2020, and brought us to the realization that we could relocate there, which we did in 2021.
In 2021 I changed my password to one of my health goals, and without a significant amount of effort, I reached that goal by the end of 2021!
I've done this consistently, and fast forward to 2024 I changed my password to "MoreFUNnow-2024^" (Again, not exactly, but you get the point). I had been saying over and over that I wanted to dance more and have more fun, but I kept putting the fun stuff off.
But this password helped remind me and sure enough, I signed up for salsa lessons and performed alongside the dance team at the end of last year. And it was so much fun!!
Pandemics and dance classes weren't what I would've predicted for myself over these past few years. Yet, in the interesting and unpredictable way the universe works, it brought me my dreams.
I put it out there and it happened! Did these things happen effortlessly? No. I had to put in the work of renting, relocating, opening myself up to new opportunities, and showing up for the dance classes.
But the opportunities were obvious to me because I had been subconsciously internalizing my dreams everyday - just by typing in my password!
THIS WORKS! So think of what you really want and set your password to match it. Think about your goal or dream, and then add in the symbols and numbers to make your IT folks happy :)
Quick tip: Use words that express what you want, not what you don't want. For example, if you want to be debt-free by December 2025, don't use "debtfree$Dec25". Instead use "FinancialFreedom$12-25". The more you type "debt", the more you attract it (even if you are typing debtfree). The more you type "financial freedom", the more you will attract your debt-free life.
So go ahead - secure your devices and sites, make your IT people happy by changing your password, and make your dreams come true by using your goals and dreams as a guide!
Cheers to your dreams coming true,
Sharon
