🗣️ New Year’s resolutions: Setting goals

Happy New Year! It’s January 1 and my first blog post of the year – there’s more in the video – is about what many people refer to as New Year’s resolutions. Or, as I prefer to address them, setting goals. 

I think the latter has a much less ‘gimmicky’ approach and sounds more serious, mature and long-term. Just terminology, of course, but sometimes the words we use have a subconscious effect upon our thinking. 

Anyway, however you look at it, a new year is a good time to not only reflect on the past, but also to look ahead to the future. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve set my own goals, which cover a variety of areas in my own life. 

If you do make resolutions / declare goals though, the three principles expounded in the video are worth bearing in mind: Recordable, Reasonable and Recognisable. I’ve applied all three into my own personal targets for the year.
