Can you believe it’s the end of January already? Neither can we. We hope you’ve been following our #WednesdayWisdom posts on How to Keep your Resolutions and have found them helpful. Part IV may sound a bit odd, given we’re a month in, but in order to keep your resolutions going for the rest of the year you’re going to need some planning.
Planning is an essential part of achieving any goal. Experts suggest that you should spend some time planning out how you will tackle any major behaviour change; whether professional or personal. If you start working toward a goal without any type of plan in place, you might quickly find yourself giving up any time you face any sort of obstacle, difficulty, or resistance.
Start by writing down your goal, making a list of things you will need to achieve that goal, and noting any obstacles that might stand in your way.
By knowing exactly what you want to accomplish, together with the things you’ll need, and the difficulties you might face you’ll find you are better prepared to stick to your resolution long term and overcome potential struggles.
What’s more, with a new month starting, it’s never to late to make that plan so what are you waiting for?
