New Year’s resolutions

new year

Here’s my list:

1. Don’t bother.

The end.

If you need the date to change between one day and another to motivate you to live a full, happy and meaningful life, then a giant list of things to change ain’t going to make that happen.

Most people fail with their New Year’s resolutions by mid-end January.

This is to do with too many unrealistic changes set to be achieved all at once, and more importantly due to not having mentally committed to making those changes.

A change in the date is not the basis for making things happen. You have to know why you are here? What is the purpose you want to achieve in your life, your why. You need to know what your life goals are.

Then you can make slow, sustainable and meaningful changes throughout your life because you are inspired to do so, that is not related to an random change of a number on a calendar.

Kick start changes in your life for a reason that matters.

New Year’s Eve

As another year draws to a close, it is a good time to reflect on what happened over the last 12 months.

Where do you get to with your goals and targets for 2015? What could you do better next year? What more could you do?

Equally, what did you learn from things that might not have happened the way you wanted them too?

The best thing is another year of the journey has passed and just reflect on all the amazing things that happened for you in 2015, the places you went to, the people you met, the fun times you had with your friends, family and all of the happiness.

Often, we look at the things we didn’t do, the regrets, the things that went wrong.

None of those matter, apart from the lessons learnt.

If you didn’t do all the things you wanted to, guess what? There is the whole of 2016 to do them.

I’ve had an amazing 2015, I hope you all have had too. I am super excited for 2016, Happy New Year to all.
