1. Forget resolutions, set goals
At the start of the New Year our optimism and motivation are at their peak, we feel energised with the idea of starting afresh. The reality is that very few resolutions are successful long term. This year instead of the usual wish list of new habits, create a strategy. Set goals of what you want to accomplish throughout the year and work back with smaller mini goals or milestones. Ensure they are realistic and manageable, focus on achieving them and remember to celebrate as you achieve them.
2. Be authentic
As humans, we need to connect socially and emotionally to others. Authenticity improves the quality of these connections and leads to more satisfying and fulfilling friendships and relationships. Check in with yourself often, strengthen your inner compass and be genuine about thoughts and feelings. You will not be everyone’s cup of tea. Accept we are all different and focus on being authentic rather than fitting in. Fewer deep connections are much healthier than many shallow ones.
