Get Ready To Set Goals in January
by
Wendy Hearn
December tends to be a hectic time for most of us and before we
know it January is upon us. Your thoughts may then turn to the
goals you're going to set yourself during next year.
As a coach
I work with people to set goals that work for them and encourage
them on the route to achieving them. I've found that many people
want to set goals in January and this is great, but they often
forget to review what they've achieved previously.
December is a great time to reflect on your achievements during the past year,
both personally and professionally. I really
encourage you to take some time to write this down. Think back
to January 1st and ask yourself, "How far have I come this
year?" What have I achieved?", "How have I improved myself?" and
"What were my strengths?"
Remember to include achievements which relate to you as a person.
Perhaps you've become more relaxed or more focused. The feeling
of success which derives from reviewing the past year's
achievements can be a wonderful inspiration for what you can
strive for during the next year. In the quest to achieve more,
we often forget how far we've come. This continuous driving
forward can leave us feeling that there's something missing in
our success. I challenge you to harness and use your strengths
fully and be ready to set goals in January. What will it take
for you to do this?
