Start 2023 Off w/Intention!

Happy New Year Friends!

As we start this new year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my own journey toward reaching my goals. Like many of us, I've had my fair share of challenges and setbacks. It can be easy to get discouraged and feel like we're not making any progress, especially when we're constantly bombarded with images of success and perfection on social media.

But here's the thing: progress and success aren't always a straight line. In fact, they often involve a lot of twists, turns, and detours. And that's okay. What's important is that we keep moving forward, even when things get tough.

So, as we begin this new year, I wanted to share a few tips that have helped me kickstart my journey toward my goals. These might be helpful for you, too!

1. Set specific, measurable goals: Because this is something that is common practice in my field of work, I know how it can help to stay on track for personal goals. It's important to have a clear idea of what we want to accomplish. This could be anything from saving a certain amount of money to running a marathon. Whatever your goal may be, make sure it's specific and measurable so that you can track your progress and stay motivated.
2. Create a plan: Once you have your goals in mind, it's time to create a plan. Break your goal down into smaller, achievable tasks and put them on your calendar. This will help you stay organized and on track.
   
3. Seek support: This one is so important and has been a hard lesson for me to learn. No one accomplishes their goals alone. Surround yourself with people who will support you and help you stay motivated. This could be friends, family, or even a coach or mentor.
   
4. Celebrate your victories: Don't forget to celebrate your small victories along the way. Every time you tick off a task on your to-do list or reach a milestone, reward yourself.  This will help you stay motivated and keep things in perspective.
   

I hope these tips are helpful as you start this new year with intention. Remember, progress isn't always a straight line, but with perseverance and a positive attitude, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

Here's to a successful and fulfilling year ahead! We’ve got this!
