As January rapidly approaches, you may start to look back and wonder what you\u2019ve achieved over this part trip around our solar system.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to compile a list of what that looks like, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

We often begin the New Year with a heap of hopes, enthusiasm, resolutions and goals. We promise this will be the year we achieve everything we\u2019ve popped on our list. There\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with this, but the new year brings a lot of pressure to change without any real thought behind just how difficult any kind of change can be.<\/p>\n

As we enter 2023, instead of putting pressure on yourself to reach unattainable goals, ensure you\u2019re thinking about them in the right ways to motivate you towards success.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together our top five tips that are easy to action and will definitely help!<\/p>\n

5 Ways to Reboot Your New Year<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Some of these tips might work for you; some might not – use them as a guideline and see what comes out of it.<\/p>\n

You can adapt these to work for any change you might be trying to implement:<\/p>\n

1.Break it down into smaller, achievable goals<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It\u2019s great to have grandiose ideas of what you want to accomplish with the new year, but only keeping your eyes on the final prize means you\u2019ll miss out on the small wins you achieve along the way.<\/p>\n

Try breaking your goals<\/a> into 12 parts – one for each month – and put these into the order you\u2019d like to achieve them. It\u2019s good to keep this flexible as you never know what opportunities will come your way, but this structure means you\u2019ll have manageable monthly goals to work towards that should all culminate in achieving your bigger picture.<\/p>\n

When you do look back at the end of the month will also help you realise that you\u2019ve achieved more than you think while still working towards the end goal.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Create a realistic timeframe<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

One of the core reasons we often fail to achieve our goals is that we create unrealistic time frames to achieve them.<\/p>\n

When looking for a new job, we do everything we\u2019re supposed to do – update the CV<\/a>, tidy up the social media, brush up on our interview technique, send out application after application – and expect immediate results. It\u2019s hard to maintain our motivation when this doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

When planning for a change or new goal, make sure you consider what a realistic timeframe is. If you achieve it sooner – great! That\u2019s a fresh hit of motivation to keep going.<\/p>\n

3. Resources, resources, resources!<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Really think about what you need to help you achieve positive results and keep you on track. A few areas to consider:<\/p>\n
