Are you feeling stuck? Unclear of what your next step should be? Are you overwhelmed by life and lacking clarity about what you want in 2020? Developing and implementing a plan takes reflection, courage and commitment, but it’s doable and worth it!  Set yourself goals for 2020! Start either on your own or with friends, by reflecting on 2019.

Questions to Reflect On

• What was good about the year?
• What was challenging?
• What didn’t happen?
• What was your biggest time waster?
• What are you grateful for?

Then begin to think about what you want in 2020.

Questions to Move You Forward

• What do I want more of?
• What do I want less of?
• What am I passionate about?
• What am I willing to take a stand for?
• What makes me feel alive?
• What impact do I want to have in the world?

Create Your Goals From a Place of Awareness

What will flow from your answers are the hopes, dreams and ideas that energize you, make you feel alive, and connect to your purpose or calling. This will take you to the next step – designing a path forward and setting goals.

Goals are critical because they give us the details that move us towards our dreams. They identify the steps, provide clarity and substance, and establish timelines.

The goal setting process needs to include a reality check. Change doesn’t happen overnight.

Put Your Goals Into Action

Write your goals down in as much detail as you can! A recent article in Forbes magazine says, “Vividly describing your goals in written form is strongly associated with goal success.” And be sure to put them somewhere where you will be continually reminded.

Your heart and mind are critical when discovering goals, and they are equally as important when you put them into action. Use the intentionality and resolve of your mind to stay on track. Use the passion of your heart to cheer you on, celebrate your wins and stay motivated.

Your future flows directly from the decisions you make today. Make a decision today to reflect on 2019 and develop a plan for 2020.  Then decide every day to put your plan into action!
