A New Year can herald an opportunity for a change, but how do you find out what you need, rather than what you want? It sounds too obvious, but without positive challenge from someone you trust, you may head down the wrong path
Deciding you want to change and how you want to get there, are two huge decisions to undertake on your own. Try and get the right support from the right person to help you take the first crucial steps. Then with trust and compassion, ask them to hold you accountable to your commitments.
How to create your plan
Understand what is driving your ideas for change. Without exploring these and finding the motivation, you cannot expect yourself to sustain the actions needed to reach your goal. The partner in your journey is key to creating insight and energy to help you start and keep going.
Find your path
Invest some time with your partner to understand how you will start, what steps you need to take, and recognise the challenges you may encounter. Create achievable goals that will give you a feeling of success as you continue down the path to change, not just at the end. Always ensure your partner will be there when you need them, continuing to help you find your way.
