Well, wishing all my readers and subscribers a belated Happy New Year (though technically New Year lasts for a week. So, I am just in time :P). Since , its the new Year week, we all might have set some set New Year plans . So, what are your New Year plans?And are you implementing it or are you on the verge of breaking them off(this does happen to a lot of us isn’t it ?). If you are on the verge of breaking them off, please don’t give up on them. The reason is it takes a lot of thinking to make those resolutions. So, one does need to take some efforts to follow up the same. And isn’t everything in life hard work? Especially the things which we want in the long term. Change is painful but if we can push through the resistance, we can become a great version of ourselves. So, what can be done so that we can crush our goals and feel better about ourselves. Maybe the following points will be able to encourage you to not give up on the things which you plan to do this year in the form of goals and will be able to crush them and maybe take up more goals as well.

1. Have a strong will power. If you want to have something, you get the work done irrespective of your emotions. After all, a no excuse attitude is what will get the work done.
2. Be compassionate with yourself: We human beings have the tendency to be critical with ourselves especially if we belong to the disciplined category and do not realize our goals. What do we do ?We tend to self-criticize ourselves. But what if we think of it this way that it is okay to slip once in a while we can start again. After all self love is the best love one can ever to oneself.
3. Develop a growth mindset: We all are scared of rejections and failures . But what if we learn to think that failures are a stepping stone to success and rejections are better redirections? This change in thinking process will help us to be a better version and help us to fight procrastination and help us be a better version of ourselves.
4. Prioritize what matters : We tend to have a lot of distractions around us. So, eat the frog and get your priorities clear. One way of doing this can be planning the day before so that you do not have to rush things.
5. Try splitting your big goals into small ones: Often we tend to take a lot on our plates and then start feeling disappointed or overwhelmed when things do not go our way. Instead try to break your big goals into small ones and be consistent with it. You should be able to see good results.
6. Celebrate small wins: When you achieve a certain milestone, it is important for you to celebrate that win . This helps to keep us motivated as we look forward to achieving the next milestone.
7. Stop looking for shortcuts: It takes patience and hard work. So, be willing to put in the grind. After all, what separates an extraordinary person from the ordinary person is that little extra.
8. Be authentic: Identify your values and stick to them. Even though it means to hurt others, it is completely okay as long as you are being your true self. After all you cannot please everyone and it is okay not to please everyone.

I can go on but then I do not want to sound as if I am some expert on life. This is because even I learn my lessons the hard way or by lots of trials and errors. However, if you do have any more tips which can help to better oneself, do feel free to share your views on the same in the comments section. Your voice and feedback matters to .

So, I am hoping that you will make your 2025 a year full of achievements and a lot of productivity as well along with a year where you finally begin to be your best version if you have not begun to be. You will be able to kick out procrastination, laziness and get the courage to pursue whatever sets your soul on fire. Wishing you a year of lots of growth and positivity and a lot of good habits.
