Here we are 2021 - the new year which we have all wished for. Time to reflect on the joys and sadness of the last year are past. It is time to put 2020 behind us and allow ourselves to look forward and move on to what is ahead.
2020 has taught us to appreciate the small things and not to take things or people for granted. How can we continue to appreciate in 2021 and use what we have learnt and endured as a tool for our children to continue to appreciate the small things, to realize their strengths in diversity and build confidence in those skills in the future.
One way is to write a Goal-setting letter to your future self. In this letter:
Set a Goal: identify something you have always wanted to do. Set achievable milestones toward accomplishing it in three months time. Be concrete realistic and specific about your goal (i.e. learn a new language, improve grades, learn guitar)
Self-Discipline: describe how you plan to stay in focus.
Self-Motivation: why is this important to you ? What skills can you use to keep reminding yourself why you are doing this.
Organizational Skills: how will you manage to achieve this in three months; think about time, resources, and priorities for accomplishing tasks.
Place your letter in an envelope and seal it. In three months, take a look at that letter and see how close you have come to meeting your goals.
