At the moment it can feel like our lives have been put on hold. We can easily feel unmotivated and look at all the things we can’t do. However, over the next 12 months there are things you can do, as well as things you have to do. Focus on the opportunities that you will have. It takes 66 days to embed a habit. The best chance of creating new habits that stick, is not to try too many at once, and also to reduce the amount of choices that you have to make in order for them to take place. You can do this exercise alone, with a partner, family or a close friend. It can be really rewarding to share your ideas with someone you trust, who will also challenge you to consider things outside of your comfort zone.
// 04 ONE YEAR FROM NOW
Some of the key areas to think about when completing this exercise include: YOUR WORK/STUDY – What job/subjects will you be doing? Where will you be working/learning? Do you want to get a first job to start earning some money of your own? How will you be working towards what you want this to look like? YOUR HOME – Have you been planning to reorganise or rearrange your bedroom but not got around to it? Are you hoping to move house/flat? Will you be living with different people? Are there some home improvements in your current place you’ve been putting off? YOUR FINANCES – Are you saving for something in particular? Do you have to learn to budget your own money? Do you have some debts you want to pay off, once and for all? YOUR RELATIONSHIPS – Do you want to be closer with your immediate family? Your brother or sister, mum or dad? How much value do your close friendships bring? Do you need to work more on connecting with people? Are you happy in love? Wanting to get married? YOURSELF – How do you want to feel about yourself one year from now? Mentally, physically, socially, personally? What does that look and feel like?
