Have you ever set a goal and not completed it? If so, are you still hanging on to that goal or have you let it go? If you would like to achieve what is really important to you as well as creating more space and time in your life, now is an ideal time to begin anew by letting go of the goals you haven’t achieved.
For example, you may have a goal to weigh 10-20 pounds less than you have for the last five years. The energy you spend feeling guilty about the foods you eat, discussing how you need to go on a diet, and condemning yourself for not taking action, could be diverted into achieving other important goals.
Because “nature abhors a vacuum,” letting go of unachieved goals allows new energy and new opportunities to come into your life. It also makes it easier to take action because the energy wasted on these old goals is now free to be used elsewhere. Consequently, having clarity about what really matters is critical.
Once you have cleaned your slate of the old goals you need to release, take a few moments to identify the three or four most important aspects of your life.
In other words, what really gives your life meaning? What is it that you can’t stand to live without? The answers to these questions represent your core needs and values. Thus, when you write your goals for the upcoming year, do so with the idea of bringing your goals into alignment with your core needs and values.
Remember, while there are many possible ways to “clean the slate,” how you do it is less important than taking steps to do it. Be creative and focus on activities that feel right for you.
Wishing you the best of everything in 2025 including your most productive year ever—we’re here to help!
