Every new year is a new chance to start fresh.
Throughout the last 12 months maybe you have struggled with consistent pain in a part of your life where you wish you could just start over and never look back.
Don’t look back!
If the calendar can start over, so can you!
There are seasons for every aspect of life, but maybe particularly you have had struggles in your financial life?
If you keep looking backward you will find yourself headed in the wrong direction.
What will you do differently in the year ahead when it comes to money management?
Self care?
Maybe parenting has been a struggle or you need time for healing?
- Create a personal to-do list
- Set realistic goals
Figure out a few tasks, both short and long term, that can reasonably get you to financial independence.
You can’t expect to get ahead when debt is dragging you down, anger is holding you back from happiness or grief is causing daily depression and anxiety.
If you suffer from anxiety, it may be hard to cope with the future and you may have fear of it.
Scared that the future is just too big.
We can all relate:
- The Pressure of making New Year’s resolutions
- Setting New Year’s resolutions seem to be a part of the norm, if feels you “have” to make them or your not doing good enough
- Getting trapped in the past, the new year is about remembering all the good things that happened in the past year, but why do we keep remembering the bad, the negative?
- The uncertainty continues. Uncertainty is one of the biggest anxiety triggers the New Year can bring
- Fear of change, fear of leaving the past behind, moving in a new direction or planting in a new area
- Changing career paths
- Losing weight
- Divorcing
It doesn’t have to be New Year-New You.
What you need to start saying is “ New year, fresh me!”
You will grow in areas that need watering, you will gain confidence in areas that need strength and you will see much more self worth and self love.
Brighten yourself with the brighter light, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
