Hello 2020!
A new year brings so much hope of new possibilities.It’s a time for relefection and evaluation.
Is your life the way you want it?
Life is a balance. There are 3 internal elements and 4 external elements.Internal
- Mind
- Heart
- Health
External
- Work
- Social
- Family
- Fun
Do you have the right balance tor a happy, healthy and fulfilling life?If you do,what do you want to achieve this year? How are you going to do it?If you don’t, that’s ok.
Now’s the time to do it.
What areas do you think need work? How are you going to make the changes? How will you know once you’ve achieved it?
When deciding what you are doing right and what you need to change remember this isn’t a blame game. It’s not about self assassination and looking at what areas you are failing – not in the slightest.
Have compassion for yourself.
This is the opportunity to learn and grow. Make changes to give yourself the most rewarding life possible.If there are areas in your life which are imbalanced but, for whatever reason, they cannot be changed then consider how you can change the areas you do have control over to help you cope and build resilience.
It’s a new year. So much is possible if you decide what you want and plan the steps on how to achieve it.You may not achieve it overnight.You may not achieve it next month or by the end of the year even.But think on this, how satisfying would it be this time next year knowing you are closer to the life you want because of the choices you made in 2020.Good luck!
