A new year always feels a little exciting, a new beginning, a fresh start, another chance to do all the things we’ve been meaning to do. In these early days of January when everything seems possible it’s important to be selective so we don’t overwhelm ourselves with more than we can actually fit into our lives. If we take on too much it is likely we will fall at the first hurdle and then the temptation is to give up and retreat back to the safety of what we have always done. I don’t make new year resolutions but I do like to think about what I would like to achieve over the next 12 months. Then I decide how much time I can commit to each task and put it in my dairy; however, I also allow myself some flexibility for as we all know life can get in the way of the best laid plans. But having things written down and the times set aside definitely increases the likelihood that I will actually do it.
