With the new year comes a sense of possibilities and potential. What will 2020 bring? Will this be my year? Whilst we cannot predict the future, we can confidently suggest 3 positive changes to make this year, changes that you will not regret making.
Learn something new
Learning something new can only be a good thing for you. It will give your confidence a boost and help to reignite your creativity, along with acquiring a new skill or hobby.
When was the last time that you learned something new? When was the last time that you prioritised your learning? All too often the answer will be at school or college, or training that you have undertaken at work.
This is one that should be all about you and your dreams and enjoyment. Whether you are looking for an IT focused qualification from the University of Alabama Birmingham or you are keen to learn how to crochet by following a few YouTube tutorials, it really doesn’t matter. Think about what you would really love to learn about and focus on that.
Travel and explore
Travel broadens your horizons and your experiences will broaden your mind, so this is definitely something to add to your plans this year.
Whilst you might have the time, finances and resources to do this one in style, you really do not have to go big to see a difference with this one. If you want to take a trip to Canada and have the means to do so, then absolutely you should go for it. However, we know that this is not always possible, so start small.
Make it your mission to go somewhere that you have never been this month. It can be anywhere. It might just be a park in your town, it might be a short road trip to a tourist attraction in your state that you have always liked the look of, or maybe it will be a local beach that you are keen to explore. If it is new to you, then you are exploring a new place and it will bring with it a sense of enjoyment and wonder.
Spend more time with friends and family
You might only get together with some of your friends every few weeks, or even every few months. You might only manage getting together with family every couple of months. Time goes by so quickly when you are busy with work, home and family life. It is easy to look up a quarter of the way through the year and realise that you have not spent enough time with your loved ones.
Make this the year that you prioritize spending more time with friends and family. Time spent in the company of people that care about you and make you smile is always going to be time well spent.
We know that you probably have the intention of doing this one most years, so to ensure that you manage it this year, book a few catch ups into your diary now and start as you mean to go on.
