How I am planning to have a great Year in 2023
Happy New Year, and Welcome to 2023! I wish you and your family a great year with many lovely memories. As we start this new year, I am very excited about the experiences, celebrations, and lessons we will learn.
In this blog post, I will share tips for starting your year right and share my goals for an incredible 2023. Check out some of my "Her Plan" posts to help you start your year right.
How can you set yourself up for success in 2023?
Having a comprehensive planning process is one of the foundational steps to setting goals that you will accomplish. The five steps below help me reflect on the past year and create a solid plan for the year ahead.
Reflect on your goals from previous years - what were your 2022 goals? What were some of the lessons you learned?
Set your goals for 2023 - what would you like to accomplish in 2023? Why do you want to achieve these goals?
Explore the needed resources - what will help you accomplish your goals in 2023?
Think about what will make you proud at the end of the year - at the end of 2023, what would you be proud you did or experienced?
Plan to help people and do good - we are very focused on ourselves and sometimes forget the role we can play in influencing our community
MC's Journey - My plan for 2023
This year feels very different for me. The last three years have focused on planning and working very hard to accomplish the best I can in all areas of my life. As I kick off this year, I really want it to be a year when I enjoy the great things in life and settle into my new phase. The thought of slowing down the pace is very new to me. I have a lot to learn about settling down and discovering my own unique way.
Following the tradition over the last five years, I will share my goals for 2023 across the different important areas of my life.
My theme for 2023 is "finding rest and reconnecting with myself. " Some of the high-level goals that I want to accomplish include the following:
Personal: Prioritize my rest, physical and mental well-being
Family: Create memories and enjoy our time as a family
Professional: Rebuild my professional networks and amplify my team's work
Financial: Make my next major investment
Business: Build communities that support one another
Learning: Hone and discover new Leadership skills
Bold Goal: Enjoy my life
Final Thoughts
One of the practices that I learned a few years ago was to imagine you are at the end of the year and look back at your experiences. At the end of 2023, I would like to say the following things:
I enjoyed the journey while I achieved my goal
I made deep connections with people around me
I said yes to experiences that I have always wanted to do
