What did you learn last year—about yourself, about others, about your business? Reframing tough times as learning opportunities can help us appreciate the lessons adversity teaches us and make us more resilient when the next unexpected challenge arrives. This kind of reflection can also clarify our goals for the coming year.It can be tempting to frame our intentions for the new year negatively in terms of the things we want to eliminate from our lives. Begin with your aspirations for the year.
It is easy to make New Year's Resolutions all about ourselves. But 2020 was a potent reminder of the importance of connection, of how much we need one another. So orient some of your goals to ways you strengthen relationships and be there for others. If you want to be a better parent or spouse, carve out blocks of family or couple time when you know you can tune out distractions and the outside world.
The new year is a perfect time to choose a few things you would like to leave behind in 2020. We have all turned to comfort food to help get us through the pandemic. However, if you want to lose some weight and get in better shape, refraining from second meal servings could be a simple but effective practice.
On a personal level, it has been all too easy this past year to be overly attached to social media and our electronic devices. We want to stay on top of the latest Covid news, and the many political developments 2020 has brought. However understandable, that is a pattern we would do well to put in the rearview mirror. We can stay informed without falling into the habit of endless scrolling.
