Better Than Yesterday: Forging a Path for Success in the New Year
Written by Katelyn Likas, Digital Marketing Manager at Midtown
The New Year is often associated with new beginnings. As you are forging your path for success in 2021, there are some tried and true practices that can help you on your journey to being better than yesterday.
Find Like-Minded People: While it is possible to achieve goals in isolation, it can be incredibly difficult to do so. Find like-minded people working towards the same goal to help cheer you on and hold you accountable to success.
Celebrate Tiny Victories: It’s important to acknowledge and celebrate the tiny victories associated with any successful journey. Don’t wait for the BIG milestone or the BIG payoff. Celebrate the little things that help you get to the end goal.
Mix It Up: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. If you are not hitting the milestones you set for yourself, mix it up to find a different route to success.
Document Your Journey: Part of the reward of setting resolutions is the ability to look back at the journey that brought you to success. For instance, if your goal is fitness related, consider taking a selfie every month to document your process. While you might not see dramatic changes from month-to-month, the evolution of success will make itself apparent over time.
Shake Off Bad Days: There are good and bad days associated with any success story. If you hit a snag in your plan, do not let one bad day derail your entire journey. Shake off the bad days and approach each new day as a new beginning.
