New Year, New Me

The start of a new calendar year means different things to different people. For some reason, the beginning of January is a time for change. It gives some people the motivation to redirect their lives for the better; some give up bad habits, others commit to new diet regimes, and some change the direction of their lives completely. Regardless of what resolution you committed to this year, the intention was to improve your life in 2019.

Whatever your goal may be, creating a plan to map out the steps you need to get there is the key to your success. With that in mind, you can use this tip not for future plans, but also to recognise what you need to leave in 2018.
