A week of achievable transformation

A new year is coming, and we all like to wake up to a new life on January 1st.

So today I’d like to share with you 4 smart changes you can make today to make 2022 the best year of your life, and I hope you’ll find them inspiring.

These are:

1-Get a growth journal

2-Set goals for the end of 2022

3-Review your assumptions

4-Make a plan

1-Get a growth journal

When we say journalling, the first one that comes to mind is the kind where you record the details of your day and your feelings. But what if I told you that there is another, not very well-known, technique of journalling that could transform your life?

It’s called growth journalling, and this is basically where you track your personal growth.

To apply it, you only need a notebook, a pen, and most importantly an open mind.

A growth journal is like a safe space for your mind to express itself, and so you can write down your problems, solutions to those problems, fears, wants, and goals. You can reflect on the current situation of your life, but also plan the life you want to have in the future.

This is an effective method because when you write down what you want to change or improve, it becomes easier to gather your focus and work on what needs to be done. By doing so, the solutions to your problems can be found more systemically and this can save you from feeling overwhelmed.

2-Set goals for the end of 2022

We all love new years resolutions, and this is because they make us fill with a powerful sense of hope.

But when these goals are dedication-required goals as daily routines, many of us fail to continue only after a few months, if not a few weeks.

That’s why I recommended setting goals for the end of the year since it can be more applicable and efficient.

It is because this approach takes most of the pressure away since it is not bound by daily discipline, and instead, a more sustainable effort divided throughout time can help you to keep being motivated towards the end goal.

3-Review your assumptions

Our assumptions lead our lives.

Whether it is what we assume we can achieve or what life has to offer, our assumptions limit our potential.

That’s why reviewing our beliefs, and what we assume to be possible and not is essential to create a better life for ourselves.

4-Make a plan

To change one’s life sounds like a lot of work, and this belief discourages most of us. But in most cases, a solid plan is what stands between us and that version of ourselves that we dream of.

When we really think about it, we already are applying a plan.

To live a life a certain way is a plan that you stick with until you change it. So whether it is big life changes such as moving away or little changes such as changing your hair, a new life can only be conquered step by step.

Therefore to make 2022 the best of our lives, we need a plan as a roadmap to take us wherever we want to be. To do that, we can start by observing where we are, and where we wish we could be, and then fill in the blanks by focusing on “the how”.
