New Years Resolutions: Start Anytime, Anywhere

Why wait for New Year’s resolutions to try something new or set a goal when you can start right away!

Yes, that’s right, just get on and do it…

The Delay Tactic

Is it just a delay tactic, another way of putting something off or just an excuse not to get started straight away?

New years resolutions are really just a fancy way of goal setting.

Setting and Maintaining Goals

So yes, by all means, set goals and make them happen, but you can do that anytime, not just in January!

Just like a ‘puppy is not just for Christmas,’ a goal is not just for New Year.

You should be setting and working towards your goals all year round, not just for January because it feels like what you should be doing and that’s what ‘everyone does’

Consistency is Key

Set your goals and maintain consistency all year round; remember consistency is key and good habits accumulate so the more you do it, the easier it will be to maintain.

Having said that, if you drop off a bit, so what, just get back on with it and remind yourself that balance is also very important. Always think and remember the bigger picture and small steps build up a bigger picture so keep going even if it is 2 steps forward 1 step back because after all you are still 1 step forward.

Personalising Goals

Make it personal and set your goals around something that you enjoy or that has meaning to you.

This could be a fitness goal, lifestyle goal, professional work-based goal, or even a learning goal.

If for example, you are choosing a course to study, make sure your chosen course is something you already have an interest in and you are fully invested in achieving all you can out of the time and effort it takes to do or complete your training.

Take Action 

Commit to the process, set a plan, and diarise when you are taking action towards achieving your goals.

What goals are you working towards right now?
