New Year's is one of my favorite holidays; it's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and assess what made you grow and how you can improve. There are eight areas in life where we can set goals: career, finances, health, family, self-development, relationships, spirituality, and fun & passions. Growing in all of these areas is key to living a well-rounded life. It's great to exceed in some areas, but not if it puts other aspects of your life on the back burner. What's the point of putting so many hours into your career if it drags your mental/ physical health down?
We'll be setting some resolutions for every aspect, some are easier said than done, and others just take minimal effort.
