Avenue Lifestyle: New Year's Resolutions Update

 New Year's Resolutions Update

As the year started, we all had our resolutions and what we wanted to achieve, how are we doing with those resolutions? 

Sometimes we get distracted from our resolutions because of certain circumstances that we had not planned for or did not foresee, these things happen. However, these distractions should not lead us to deviate from our New Year's resolutions, but should only delay the plan or target goal a bit. Starting over is not such a bad idea, especially if the plan you had in the beginning of the year is not going your way, but then where do you start? 

Perhaps we should start by renaming our target goal to 2023 Resolutions. We previously advised that New Year's Resolutions should be written down in detail and have a realistic time frame to be completed in. If you have gone off track, maybe it is time to go back to the drawing board where you listed your resolutions and revise them. Consider what has thrown you off track and how it has affected your initial plan. 

Are your goals still realistic? Can you still achieve them? It is okay to make some adjustments to your initial goals to make them realistic and achievable, but maybe not in the timeframe that you had planned. Remember to take it one step at a time and celebrate minor achievements. 

Remember why you those resolutions in the first place, any progress is better than no progress at all. No matter how far you've gone off track, you can always find your way back. It's always wise to keep your list of resolutions somewhere visible so it acts as a reminder of what you have dedicated yourself to in 2023.
