Start fresh

​  It’s now December, the best month of the year, at least in my perspective. December is the perfect month to gather the family together, and give each other gifts, sharing our love in more than one way. However, it is not only the Christmas celebration that is near, but also New Year is around the corner. On Christmas, the family or our loved ones come around us and spend their time with us, sharing every hour contemplating what has happened all the year, sharing their best memories. Moreover, New Years is the moment we start again, full of promising goals and opportunities. The question is, How do we create a fresh start?

2023 is a propitious year, full of new opportunities and adventures. Since the pandemic is almost gone, we have had 2022 to grow more as a person; we have taken a new step. So, to begin with our planning we must visualize and remember the best decisions we’ve taken and also the worst one’s. It would avoid us repeating some mistakes. Take them as an opportunity to create our best versions of ourselves, it might sound cliché, yet it works.

After reviewing our mistakes, we should look at our 2022 goals, and ask ourselves, Did we make it? Was it easy or hard? Was it beneficial to me or someone else? How long did it take? Based on the answers of these questions, we would come up with new goals, more “achievable” if I may say. We must set a limited amount of these though, having 100 goals may be fun, yet at the end we accomplish the 10% of those goals. So, from my experience, I believe you can set a minimum of 5 goals, and a maximum of 10. They must be precise, in the way knowing it can be attainable.  Having a good year doesn't depend on the quantity, it depends on the meaning behind it and how it will help you to grow as a person. 

 

Finally, we can say we’re all ready to start a new year. The most important thing is to try and work hard, so we can accomplish our set goals. It’s also important to bask in this upcoming year. Is full of heartening moments, still it depends on us. We could start focusing more on our mental health, our friends, and family because they are the only people who can help us to grow into young powerful women! Ultimately, I hope you have the best year, we’re still young, we can make dreams come into reality, it’s on you and your will.
