New Year Goal Setting Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All!
Have you ever turned over the calendar to January 1st and thought ‘I’m not ready!’?
Do you sit contemplating new year’s resolutions that you want and then rewrite them until they seem easier or more likely for you to achieve – by the end, you already feel defeated and your next thought is ‘why bother?!’.
I hear you and have been you. I did the same thing for too many years until one year I didn’t make any resolutions because I thought ‘what’s the point?’.
I didn’t have a plan!
BUT then when I started the new month, I felt scattered regarding what ideas to implement or direction I should take.
It overwhelmed me to the point where I lost my ambition to work towards any growth or overall betterment in any part of my life.
That didn’t sit well with me because I knew I wanted more, I had ambitions and I wanted growth in different (usually all) areas of my life.
So, I gave myself some time to think about what wasn’t working and why the traditional methods of making new year’s resolutions didn’t work for me -- why I didn’t follow through or why I didn’t feel motivated a few weeks or months into a resolution.
Now, I know there are a ton of personal development articles and books on creating new habits, the importance of planning ahead, etc. – I’ve read quite a few of those myself and found that many are generic and written for the masses.
My challenge was to find pieces that fit me and test new models that were personalized for my growth and personality.
In 2018, I decided to create my own planning and accountability process for personal development and business growth.
Each year, the process is modified to mould to me a little bit more – as it gets stronger, my discipline improves and my goals are achieved.
Interested to learn about my process?
Keep an eye out for the January article where I’ll share my goal setting and action planning system in the hopes that you find comfort in knowing that growth and development are not one-size-fits-all and that it inspires you to make your own plan for success!
