January can be a daunting time. Sometimes it's hard to think of the new year ahead. You might be wondering, where has the time gone? How fast will this year go by? It can be easy to fall into the trap, putting pressure on yourself to set a million new year's resolutions and feeling the need to make lots of changes, right now. Rather than panicking and setting yourself massive goals, why not start small. You don't have to achieve everything all at once - it is only January.. you've got 12 months ahead of you in 2022.
Perhaps start by thinking.. where would I like to be this time next year? You might want to move to Singapore, Start your own business or Return to work after a career break. Once you've identified the goal and ascertained that it's realistic, whatever it is, start by breaking it down into smaller, manageable steps. You don't have to decide on your dream goal right away either. Allow yourself to make time for things you'll like doing, maybe it's reading a book, trying a new recipe or spending more time on self-care.
Note: If your goal is something that makes you happy, excites you and ignites your passion, you'll enjoy working towards it so much more. If you don't want to set any goals right now, that's okay too- Either way, we hope 2022 is an amazing year for you, both personally and professionally. Remember to focus on what makes you happy and if you can, work towards bringing more of that into your everyday.
