The end of the year is almost here, and for many of us, this seems like a good thing! This year has been full of surprises and roadblocks, causing us to fall a bit off the beaten track. Do you remember setting some goals and resolutions in January? It seems like so long ago now, but have you achieved what you set out to do? It’s not too late to reach your goals. Keep reading to discover how you can check them off the list before the end of the year. 

Reevaluate

Some of the goals that you set might no longer be feasible, such as traveling or going to concerts, so it’s essential to reevaluate your goals. First, determine which ones are no longer an option and see if there is any way to rephrase them to make them achievable. Perhaps you can swap out concerts for virtual events or vacations for days off or staycations. If some of the goals are still achievable, evaluate why you haven’t gotten around to them and consider slightly decreasing them to make them more obtainable. 

Tackle Head On

Tell yourself to stop making excuses and simply tackle the goals head-on. With only a month and a half left in the year, it’s time to get to it. Take the time to write down a game plan and step-by-step guide to achieving your goals in the time-frame left. Now that you have made your goals more realistic, there’s no reason to not tackle them!

Reward Yourself for the Things You Have Achieved

This year has been a wild one and even if you haven’t achieved the goals that you initially set for yourself, you probably accomplished some things that you didn’t know you would need to do. You made it through the quarantine without crying, or perhaps you only cried a few times; that’s something to be proud of during these unprecedented times. Don’t be too hard on yourself while going through your goals and remember that you had to go through so many life changes during the past few months, like working remotely or not seeing family as often. Be proud of the things you achieved this year; it was a tough one! 

With the end of the year quickly approaching, remember to look back on the goals you set for yourself and evaluate how or if you can still achieve them. It’s important to celebrate even the smallest of wins after the year we have had. Tell us about the goals you have achieved in the comments below!
