We’d like to wish you a Happy New Year! We are not sure where 2022 went, but are so excited to see what is all in store for 2023. With that being said, what better time than now to begin goal setting for 2023? The topic might not be exciting, but it is so important to have tangible, and thought-out goals as we anticipate a new year and its opportunities. In this blog post, we’d like to give 3 ways to begin goal setting for 2023.
Have a Dream Session.
Our first recommendation is to have a dream session. What do we mean by this? Well, it’s hard to set goals when you don’t have a clue on what you are working towards. However, when you have a specific time and place to sit down and focus, you are able to define your dreams in a more tangible way. This doesn’t have to be fancy or long, but simply write down some of your dreams- they can be long-term or short-term, and be ready to make them a reality with time and determination.
Write a Step-By-Step.
Dreams are great. However, if they are left with no action or follow-through, it’s unlikely you will see them come to fruition. Now that you have a few goals you are working towards, this is the most crucial step of all; it’s coming up with an action plan. We recommend coming up with 3 basic steps that lead to the ultimate goal.
For example, if your goal this year is to live a more healthy lifestyle, your 3 steps could be: drink _ ounces of water a day, eat veggies at every meal, and exercise 4x a week. When you have realistic steps to take towards your goal, it won’t feel overwhelming, and it will become a reality sooner than you may think!
Take a Step Back.
Finally, as you are on your way for your goal setting for 2023, our final recommendation is to get in the habit of taking a step back every now and again. You can reflect through writing down where you’ve come, evaluating if you need to make any changes, and also be encouraged with how far you’ve come.
