The festivities are over and now begins a whole new year. Aside from clearing out the house, putting decorations away and cleaning from top to bottom, I find now is a good time to clear out the mind too.
The new year is all about new beginnings and new resolutions which is what everyone needs. A time to set new goals and figure out what it is we want to achieve this year. It's not as easy as it sounds. We all spend January planning and dreaming of everything we want to do and by the end of the year, we've done very little or nothing at all.
I find setting small goals at a time works better than making big decisions and hoping to complete them by the end of the week. Brainstorming helps. It gives you the chance to write down the things you want to do or achieve and it effectively allows you to see what is in your mind and help you to understand what is important to you. Once you've made this list you can then do something every week that puts you a step closer to your goal(s).
It's a good way to clean all the 'junk' from your mind and start afresh. Focus on what you know you can achieve and forget all those little bits that clutter your mind, bits that shouldn't matter but stick with you, as these are probably holding you back. This is the best time of year to push yourself further.
