Firstly welcome to 2024 and well done for doing your best in 2023. As we begin a new year we think of all the things we want to accomplish and it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed, I know I\u2019ve been there.

Setting yourself goals that are just too big and not getting round to and with that we can feel a mixture of negative emotions so this year I\u2019ve decided to take a different approach to the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get into shall we …

1. Intentions not goals <\/strong>
I think by calling it intentions rather than goals makes it feel less intimidating. If you think of it like this, I intend to do such a thing, and by phrasing it in a way that\u2019s positive, you already feel like your accomplishing it.

2. Set manageable intentions<\/strong>
When I was writing my list of intentions, I wrote, for example, read 3 books a month, and in brackets, I wrote a note to myself to increase in a couple of months. It\u2019s easy to set yourself unmanageable expectations that you aren\u2019t able to fulfil with the chance you\u2019ll not stick to because they seem or feel too big. By starting off small and increasing later on, your actually adding to your list rather than avoiding it, and with that I\u2019m sure it will feel like a big win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. New year , Better You <\/strong>
When I was reflecting on last year and think of the new year I kept seeing \u201cNew Year , New you\u201d and I just thought what\u2019s wrong with the old me. Having experienced lessons from the previous years you have essentially carved a better you as without those lessons you aren\u2019t the person that you see before you now. Think of it as every year you are adding something to yourself rather than creating a whole new you. And I think that is worth celebrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
