When you set the right tone at the beginning of the year, you ensure that you are building an environment around you that helps you achieve your goals and make progress and create a year that you will remember for fulfilling your goals and aspirations. So, whether you’re setting the tone right now or later, let’s focus on some practical, useful resolutions to spend the upcoming months with.
There is so much that happens in the name of new year’s resolutions which hardly ever comes true because people give up halfway through. But, when you set the right kind of goals and resolutions, they become not just easier to ac
hieve but also become exciting to work towards!
1. Define A Higher Goal For Yourself
1. Physical health
2. Emotional and mental health
3. Your skills, both life and career based
4. Business or career goals
5. Recreation goals
6. Finance goals, such as saving and investing
2. Keep A Learner’s Mindset
A mindset for learning goes a long way in ensuring growth in any area of your life. Want to see results in health, wealth, business or career? Get a mentor who you can learn from. Get a mentor who is an expert in your preferred field and learn all you need to get the desired results. Mentors accelerate your learning more than anything.
3. Practice Gratitude And Forgiveness
Build momentum every day by being grateful to yourself, the people around you and life in totality and release your pent-up emotions by practicing forgiveness. Forgiveness sets you free. Forgiveness not just for others but most importantly for yourself as well. Once you realize that you need to be grateful to yourself and be forgiving to yourself just as much as you have to do to others, your mindset shifts and this is exactly what true self love really is about.
4. Omit Activities For Social Approval
Social approval is a shallow way of treating the gift of life that we are all privileged to have. Instead, start engaging in experiences that give you joy. When you realize that you don’t need to share an experience on social media and only experiencing it is giving you the utmost joy and happiness, you will know that you are truly experiencing something worthwhile and that you are not just accomplishing it for the sake of social media validation. Reduce the noise around you and find what speaks to you authentically.
5. Practice Kindness
This is advice for all ages and is valid in every era. It won’t hurt anyone if you just live with a smile… Heal everyone around you with love. Kindness is so underrated and there is such a need for it especially in the day and age we live in, that it has become rare to find kindness without an underlying motive. So, find people and be the person that showers kindness genuinely and generously upon everything and everyone they come in contact with. Be that person.
Now that we have set a holistic and productive note, let’s make sure to adopt habits and implement practices that make our 2023, the best one ever!
