As we find ourselves settling in to the new year, it’s a great time to reflect on 2023 and set our sights on the path ahead.
If you haven’t already thought about your intentions for 2024, here are some ‘Cathy’ flavoured tips to help you on your way:
Reflect with kindness on last year
Before you dive into making plans for this year, take a moment to reflect on the year just passed. What went well? Which parts of the year really tested you and your resilience?
Try not to judge what happened or how you responded but instead, understand where you've been and use that knowledge to shape where you want to go.
Let the things you care about be your guide
Make your plans for yourself a reflection of what really matters to you. What lights up your life? Is it deepening connections with others, having a say in what happens, taking care of yourself or finding joy in the everyday?
Let your values guide you. This way, your goals become more than just yet more ‘things to do’. They become a journey towards a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Start small to get going
When thinking about what you’d like to achieve this year, think small, achievable steps. Instead of overwhelming yourself with great big goals, break them down into bite-sized actions.
Celebrate every win, no matter how tiny they might seem to others. You know the effort it’s taken to get there and that’s truly worth celebrating.
Small wins add up to big, meaningful changes and will help you build momentum.
