We hope all of our seniors had a wonderful Christmas! Though Christmas has passed, the holiday season is not over yet; New Year’s Day is around the corner. This decade is coming to a close, and soon it will be 2020! Change is on its way. Have you taken the time to reflect on your list of goals for the upcoming year? Setting goals for your future, regardless of age, is healthy for the soul. Reflection and goal setting are intimately tied to our emotions. They can inspire us and encourage us, irrespective of the amount of progress we have made towards them. According to Psychology Today, having goals is connected with heightened well-being. However, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to set goals.
Here are a few tips to help you set goals before the start of the new year:
- Make your goals specific
- Align your goals with your values
- Write them down
- Please make sure they are realistic
- Aim for something important to you
- Make them challenging but attainable
- Create deadlines
- Ensure your goals are not conflicting
Remember, you are the captain of your ship. You are in control of your life, and by taking the time to plan and aim for something you want, the more likely you are to achieve it. So, take some time to think about what you truly want. With a bit of effort, self-discipline and support accomplishing your goals will lead to success and life satisfaction.
