20 Twenty FIT

Compliments of the season!

FIT, as an adjective, defines as “able, worthy, and of suitable standard to meet the required purpose.” At FAB we love acronyms, and our acronym for 2025 is FIT:

F  for Flourish: grow in a healthy way, as the result of a pleasant environment.

 for Immerse: to involve oneself deeply in an activity.

T  for Thrive: to prosper, shine, *succeed. In coaching terms, thriving, is all about working on your self-development and resilience.

SELF REGULATION IN THE CONTEXT OF FIT

Ready, Aim, Fire, is a core principle that we adopted from the Enneagram and helps us to self-regulate. The enneagram is a framework to enhance and facilitate awareness and development.

Ready, aim, fire, reminds us to pause, and connect with our heart, our heads and our instincts. Allowing feelings, thoughts, and instincts to become messengers, sources of information and consequently informing our choices. Leading to less reactive decision-making and irrational behaviour.

THE HOW: FLOURISH, IMMERSE, THRIVE AND YOU

FIT exemplifies Ready, Aim, Fire and informs the “how”. In short, FIT makes ready, aim, fire doable and practical. As you navigate 2025, invest time in applying the FIT principle by:

  • Connecting with your heart: feel your feelings. (Flourish)
  • Engaging with your thoughts:  analyse, discern, consider. (Immerse)
  • Acting confidently. (Thrive)

The FIT principle will probably not change your life instantly; however, it could change the moment, as better self- regulation reduces stress, improves focus; and enhances concentration.  Changing the moment will result in longer-term impacts, changing your day, week, and year!

SUCCESSFUL LIFE: YES & NO (THRIVE IN PRACTICE)

I came across the wise words of Yung Pueblo, from his book “Clarity & Connection”. He states:

“successful life is created with two words: “yes” and “no”. have the courage to say “yes” only when it feels right and “no” to the old patterns that do not serve you.
saying no is a sign of progress
saying no is a sign of commitment 
saying no is a sign of empowerment
saying no can help you fulfil your goals
saying no can support your mental health.”

Flourish, Immerse, Thrive, – Ready, Aim, Fire: connecting with your feelings, engaging with your thoughts, and discerning, can enable confident actions, leading to courageous yeses and no’s – resulting in THRIVING! [*success]
As FIT refers to: be able, worthy, and of suitable standard to meet the required purpose; you can ensure your  “yes” and “no” will be to the point, appropriate and in line with your intentions.

REFLECTIONS

  1. What does the words flourish, immerse, and thrive mean to you?
  2. How can the FIT principle support and guide you – in your challenges, activities and commitments?
  3. Where would you like to say a courageous YES and No, utilising the FIT principle?
Here’s to a FIT 2025, filled with “feel right and thought through” YESSES and NO’s!

Live it! Love it! Do it!
