Another way of thinking about making a fresh start in the new year is to imagine an ulitimate goal but for the time being plan to just head in that direction. This might work when your energy is low and you feel that setting up a big goal and detailed action plan is just too much; its so daunting you don't even get started.
But if you can keep yourself heading in the right direction, making tiny changes or taking action in new ways but in tiny steps you will build up momentum. Then when your energy levels are higher and you have reconected with some self belief it may feel like the right time to take a bigger step or challenge yourself to reach a bigger goal.
You can set off on a long journey by motorway with a map marked to show the places you'll stop for coffee or petrol, or an overnight rest ..... or you can set off along the smaller roads, checking that you're heading in the right direction when you stop for a break or a walk or to take a photograph. The first way is probably the quickest and most economical but if you hate driving on motorways it will also be the most stressfull !
So ask yourself today, am I heading in the right direction? If the answer is yes, that's great, if not, can you make that turn towards the direction you want to travel right now ?
