Goal setting series 3 – Well fitting clothes. Are you goals well fitting?

How amazing and beautiful it is that we have made it to the new year. Every time the new year starts you will hear most people making “New year resolutions” others go with phrases like “New year new Me” and whatever the case there is just something about a new year that motivates you to want to do more. Can you relate to that? With me, I honestly struggle to follow up on New Year’s resolutions but what I’ve decided to do in 2020 is to make notes with reminders in my diary and I do that quarterly. I found that I’m more proactive that way and it also gives me enough time to work on all things I get wrong because as they say if at first, you can’t succeed you dust yourself up and try again.

Habakkuk 2:2-Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.

For example, I saw this dress at Mr. Price but they only had one small size. I’m a medium as I prefer comfort in all clothes I wear (See my loose fit affair blog post https://imzimba.co.za/2019/11/16/loose-fit-affair/). So, I never bought it. The 3rd time I saw it in the same store still in the same sizes I thought I should try it and see if it will fit me and guess what? It fit very well, and the bonus was that I got it on sale for R99.

I have come to be a firm believer in writing my goals down, break them down quarterly, and that way I can track where I am not gaining traction on my goals. Breaking goals down in achievable small goals or small chunks has helped me achieve more goals.

Sometimes we have goals and the things we want to achieve and we may think we are not ready for them or maybe we are not a good fit for our goals and we get caught up in “Let me be realistic about these goas” and we end up settling for what is easy to attain, see the do we really have to be realistic blog post https://imzimba.co.za/2020/01/08/goal-setting-series-do-we-really-have-to-be-realistic/

With the new year ahead of us, how do you plan your year? Are you the resolutions type of person or you just go with the flow? What has worked for you to achieve your goals? How have you overcome challenges in the past? How do you plan on overcoming challenges in the future?
