We have said goodbye to 2022 and have entered the first few days of 2023.
Like the start of every New Year, we begin setting goals on what we want to achieve or work towards.
These goals may be personal, work or sport and fitness related. Whatever these goals, Im sure we are ready to get stuck into them.
But as the year progresses and our lives become busier and more stressful, we sometimes shift from our goals and put them on the back burner.
When we look again, it's December 2023; we get ready for the Christmas rush and wonder where the year has gone.
I’m here to share some tips that can help set your goals for 2023 and beyond:
Reflect on the past year
Before you sit down and write your goals for the new year, Reflect on the past year and look at what worked and didn't.
This is also an excellent opportunity to look at goals you didn't achieve and ask yourself the following questions:
Were my goals too broad? Did I have an action plan? Did I have the resources to achieve my goals? Do I still want this?
Once you have reflected and chosen to reset your goals, you can start Writing down your goals.
Write Down your Goals
Write down your goals! Writing down your goals will allow you to keep track of your goals and hold yourself accountable.
When writing your goals, make sure your goals are SMART.
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time Framed.
Writing down SMART goals will allow you to review your goals as the year progresses, make adjustments where needed, and mark your Milestones.
Review and Update your Goals
When reviewing your goals, don't see them as a failure. Permit yourself to reset your goals.
It's just a tweek in your journey for the year and beyond. Some goals may longer be needed or in service, or you may need to shift your deadline and milestone or keep your goals relevant.
Setting goals is an investment in yourself. Make sure your goals make you excited and focused for the year ahead.
