Your choice

picture taken by myself

This time of the year can affect people in different types of ways. Some may find this time daunting and others very exciting.

Daunting because maybe you haven’t achieved majority or none of your goals, picked up on some good/bad habits (mostly focusing on the bad) and in all feeling like time is running out as the year is now coming to an end.

​Exciting because it’s about to be a new beginning with the new year around the corner, you have achieved majority or even none of your goals, picked up on some good/bad habits (mostly focusing on how to improve on the good and stop the bad) and importantly, have made plans ahead which you are excited to see come to fruition.

The clear differences here are what you choose to focus on and the importance of putting a plan into place. Thus, to those who may be finding this season daunting, I would suggest you choose to:

• Plan ahead effectively (write your goals down, research, network/speak to the right people, and ASK FOR HELP)
• Learn from your mistakes, and don’t dwell on them (very hard, but keep it moving)
• Be positive (feed your mind and body with good things - ie: read/listen to positive things, eat well, drink more water, work out...etc)
• Relax (the year is coming to an end, not your life. Stop panicking and stay focused instead)

• Start NOW.
