2021 is drawing to a close, however we still have time to meet goals and make 2021 an even better year. This time of year, it can be tempting to coast thru the holidays and into the new year. It’s pretty easy to think “I will go after goals in the new Year”, however I want to challenge you to finish this year strong. Let’s look at a few ways to empower yourself to finish the year feeling accomplished and on point.
1. Evaluate at the goals you set for this year. Are they all met? What can you accomplish yet this year? Are there any that you can rework so they can be accomplished this year. What action steps do you need to take to make the goals reality?
2. Look ahead into 2022. Determine what kind of year you want to create and then make a list of goals that will help to create the year you desire. Write the goals down and break them into the action steps needed to complete the goals.
3. Plan intentional time with family and friends for the Holidays. Take some very intentional time to refresh your spirit and build relationships with family. Time spent rejuvenating one’s self is always time wells spent.
4. Make wise choices during your Holidays. Keep a resemblance of your normal routine and lifestyle so that you actually can be refreshed and ready to finish strong when you come back from vacation.
5. Reflect on your year. Ask yourself some hard questions and be truly honest with yourself. What worked well this year? What needs to be done better next year? Did you spend enough time on self-growth? Evaluate your calendar. Are there things on the calendar that you don’t want on next year?
6. Remind yourself of all the accomplishments and wins from the past year. Celebrate and remind yourself that you are worthy. Let the win inspire you to create a few more wins for the year.
I hope this helps you to finish 2021 strong and empowered. You are worth the effort. You are worth the hard work and growth.
