As we step into 2018 I thought I would share with you how I set goals and steps towards having an epic year.
For me each new year brings a time of reflection on the year been and a chance to dream about what I want to make happen in the up coming year.
I used to write goals like a to do list. The things I felt I ‘should’ do or what I perceived to be good tangible goals.
When I would look at my to do list throughout the year I felt an overwhelming sense of pressure to tick them off my list and feel bad for not achieving them even if it was simply because I was no longer interested in achieving them or life simply moving in a different direction.
So, in the last couple of years I have changed how I do things. I’ve taken the pressure off and had a bit more fun with the process.
After spending some time reflecting I simply ask myself:
- What am I going to stop?
- What am I going to continue?
- And what am I going to start?
Then I choose a few things that I want to achieve in the upcoming year. Fun things. Things that inspire me to become more.
Yes, there are so many processes out there and this is just how I do it, but ultimately all it comes down to is what you are inspired by and what drives you to go out and achieve them.
However you choose to reflect on 2017 and set goals for 2018 go easy on yourself. Take the pressure off. Have fun. Get inspired.
