2019 is officially here! Who has started working towards their goals?
One of my goals this year is to spend more time focusing my energy on building resilience. Two sub goals in this are to share and accept gratitude more often and develop more self-compassion for myself.
To turn this goal into a hat-trick I am reverse engineering my goals. I started with reflecting on how I want to feel on December 31, 2019 and I worked backwards month by month strategizing on what I need to do each month to get myself there. Sounds simple, doesn’t it. When we are clear on our vision of what we want the future to look like it is much easier to put a plan into place to achieve it.
Take a moment and reflect on what you want the future to look like. How will you act and feel and what will you be doing? What won’t you be doing? Who will you be surrounded by and how will they make you feel? Now look at your goals for the year - do these align with the future you you just described? If not now is the perfect time to course correct and set new goals.
I wish you great success and happiness this year as you turn your goals into hat-tricks! Drop me a line if you’d like some help.
