There’s a lot of talk this time of year on social media around New Years Resolutions and accomplishments.

What people achieved in the last year and what they hope to achieve in the next. Don’t get me wrong, I think these are great things to share. However, the trouble with only hearing these things is that, if you didn’t hit your goals but you think everyone else did - it can put you off setting any ever again.

What many people don’t share, for obvious reasons, is what they set as goals but did not achieve.

So here goes it…

We didn’t have a baby this year… though we are about to.

I didn’t read 3 books this year… I read half of one.

I didn’t meditate regularly… though there was a couple months in there where I did.

I didn’t consistently write… though I have put a plan in place to start now.

I didn’t eat less processed foods… but I did find more ways to incorporate whole foods.

I didn’t always have as much patience in parenthood as I’d like… but I had more than I would have if I never set it as a goal.

My point of sharing this is not to bring the mood down from epic achievements, but rather to show that even if you don’t hit your goals in a calendar year - it doesn’t mean you haven’t made progress.

Maybe you didn’t hit your weight loss goal but you did increase your fitness.

Maybe you didn’t start yoga but you did do a few stretches.

Maybe you didn’t quit drinking but you had less than the previous year.

Maybe you didn’t buy that property but you did save that little bit more money.

Maybe you didn’t get that promotion but you have made it clear you want it.

Goal setting can be an extremely powerful tool at the beginning of a year. Not necessarily setting goals so that you hit them, but rather so that in the year ahead, you’re moving in a direction that you want to be and choose to be moving in.

Don’t let the overwhelm of epic achievements on social media in 2023 to put you off setting goals for yourself in 2024.

Focus on progress over perfection and you’ll never regret setting a goal again.
