Happy New Year!
This is the opportunity for a fresh start, a fresh mindset, even if it has never happened in the past we WILL strive to achieve our goals. I love this quote as a reminder to set my goals high regardless of what you think is possible.
First and foremost I do wish you health and happiness cos without that the rest is way harder to achieve, I am especially thinking that way as our entire family was hit with a nasty flu over the holidays and it is a good reminder not to take our health for granted.
The Year in Review
Overall for me it wasn’t the best year, it was a rollercoaster ride. Breaking my foot on holiday put a lot of things in perspective, it put me out of action and out of work for a while but I was lucky enough to be surrounded by amazing friends and family. Another big thing happened that should have sent me into a downward spiral but actually gave me new opportunities and now I feel my creativity has been unleashed! So there are good things that come from bad you just have to look at it differently… keep calm and carry on!
Making Goals
Yes, I still have goals to lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier and by March everything will have gone downhill but I don’t care cos with all the diets and exercise classes I have tried over the years I have learned new things about myself. I can take that small piece that does work and use it the future.
I love doing a vision board, collect images that are specific to your dreams and stick them all on a foam poster board. Look at it everyday and you will be surprised how many of them come true. It helps you focus on what you really want, it doesn’t matter if it seems impossible, by doing this it will help you see the opportunities. I also like to think there is a bit of magic involved.
Don’t be hard on yourself
Things may turn out totally different from what you thought but I am a believer in everything happens for a reason. We are human there will be hard times and negative thoughts but the key is not to stay in that space for long, pick yourself up and dust yourself off, accept help from friends and family if needed. Give yourself some tools to get out of a rut, my go to are inspirational and self help books, a good British comedy, yummy food, doing anything creative or helping others less fortunate than myself.
With that I wish you a magical new year. Don’t wait for an opportunity, create it!
