Cliché as they may be, New Year's resolutions are part and parcel with the turning of the calendar page, providing opportunities for self-reflection – and reasonable goal setting. Face the next 365 days with improved vigour and a honed-in purpose with D’FYNE’s guide to setting yourself up for success.
The end of December not only brings renewed hope for the 12 months to follow but also provides a time to reflect on the lessons learned in the past year, what you want in life, and what truly makes you happy. I’m usually not one for setting New Year's resolutions. However, this time of year serves as a great opportunity to think about your future and to set realistic goals to turn your vision into reality.
Goals are essential and powerful tools for everyone who wants to achieve their ambitions and desires, and for anyone who wants to create the inspired life they dream of. Setting measurable goals can help you focus on what’s important, increase your efforts and motivation to stick with your plan, force you to consider new strategies, and help you track your progress.
But, as we all know, setting goals is the easy part – executing and achieving them are bigger challenges. Whether you want to have amazing relationships with those around you, embrace your ideal physique, improve your health and create whole-life balance, or find a career that inspires you daily, you need the correct approach in making and managing those goals. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Why should your health and happiness be any different?
1. CREATE YOUR BIG PICTURE
Evaluate your current situation and outline your intentions. Which areas of your life would you most like to improve? How do you want to feel? Are you satisfied with your current relationships? Take a closer look at your career, an area in which many people crave change. Are you simply going through the motions? Are you using your skills while acquiring new ones? Are you excited to get out of bed every day? If you aren’t satisfied with any of your answers, it's a big indication that you need to move on.
