The New Year is officially here and although there is a lot of excitement in the air to make 2020 the best year ever; there is also a lot of pressure when an old year ends and new one begins.
As usual, we are here to help, and that is why we have come up with five things that will help you start the year on the right foot.
Tick off forgotten tasks
There’s no time like January to sort out life admin, whether it’s booking a GP appointment, a dentist appointment or anything else that needs ticked off the list.
A lot of the time these are things we add to the end of our to-do lists hoping they’ll just disappear – but unfortunately, they won’t. The sooner it’s done the sooner you’ll feel relieved…
Start something new
You must have heard the saying “New year, new me” and many of us seem to think that making drastic changes at this time of the year is essential. Big changes are of course a positive way to start 2020 but don’t forget to be realistic – small changes are also more than acceptable!
By starting something new, you can set new goals and challenge yourself so whether you are thinking of hitting the gym, going vegan or taking up a new challenge be kind to yourself, set realistic targets, document and reward your progress.
Write down all the achievements from last year
We are so used to focusing on the negative things and don’t pat our own backs when we achieve something great. Often, we set a new goal and focus on what’s next rather than reflecting and taking in the fact that we achieved a goal that we set. Take some time to write down everything that you achieved in the last year and be proud of it.
Stay positive
The new year gives us a beautiful opportunity to clarify our desires and create positive momentum! When we feel good, we attract positive experiences, opportunities and people into our lives. Take some time to be grateful for everything you have, take a deep breath and step into the new year with a fresh, positive outlook – you can achieve anything that you set your mind to.
Dream big
Was last year a time when you gave up on something that you once thought important? If so, maybe it’s time to revisit that dream or goal, just because the time wasn’t right before doesn’t mean the opportunity is lost forever.
