How do you usher in the new year and plan for what’s ahead? What ways will you make room for change and create a plan for growth in the new year? Whatever your approach is to setting intentions for 2024, here are some tips to consider:
What ways will you make room for change and create a plan for growth in 2024?
Keep it simple - change isn’t easy so try to focus on one or two things you would like to change or accomplish
Make it meaningful - be sure the change you want to make aligns with your values
Turtle steps - break your big goals into smaller, more manageable ones
Progress, not perfection - acknowledge and celebrate small wins and focus on your progress and not what something could or should be
Connection and community - making change and achieving goals can be easier with the help and support of others. Consider joining a group or hire a coach who can help you reach your goals
Be compassionate with yourself - “Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.” Jordan Peterson Give yourself a break and be as understanding to yourself as you would be to a friend
Be Flexible - being flexible isn’t about changing your mind or giving in, it’s about making changes along the way that help you reach your goals
Write it down - research has demonstrated that written goals are more effective than simply thinking about them or verbally expressing them

Today, I’m participating in a workshop to construct a plan for healthy growth. Rather than planning in isolation, I decided to immerse myself in a community of people interested in designing a personal growth plan. Together, we’ll identify actionable steps we can take to invest in ourselves and our growth for 2024. What’s something you want to do or accomplish in 2024? What action can you take today to start unlocking your hidden potential? “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” Zig Ziglar
Take your first step today and contact me for a free consultation to discuss your 2024 plan for growth! I look forward to hearing from you soon. Happy New Year!
