Did you make any new year resolutions? While some may scorn at the thought of believing in a new-year-new-me concept because we almost always fail at it, I encourage it. Goals help us to become more focused. Here is a top-five list on how to keep your 2020 resolutions. 1. Make reasonable goals They should be within reach. If you are failing your exams and you want to get 100 marks for a very subjective paper such as composition writing, you know that’s next to impossible. Set a reasonable goal with a timeline. E.g. From 48% to 50% by term 1, get 55% by term 2 and by the end of the year, get 60%. Keep to one or two so that they can be fulfilled. 2. Write it out and paste it where you and your friends can see it all the time. – This is to remind you what you had wished for in March, June and even November. – By putting it out in public, it forces you to act on it. – You can even put it on social media and add it in one of your highlights so that you can be reminded of it. 3. Be ready to tweak the goal, reasonably. What if I aimed to get 55% by term 2 and I got only 54%. The answer is not to give up. Tweak it so that you are still on track. You need to give yourself scope when things don’t turn out as planned. Planning and reality are always different. 4. Think about it every night before you sleep We get caught up in life. It happens. During the December holiday, life is more idyllic and we have time to reflect. When we are busy with CCA, school work, projects etc, what we had planned may be in the back burner. Give yourself five minutes before you sleep. Not to play games on your handphone, but to recall your resolution. Have you been acting on it and how far are you from it? 5. Include a resolution that’s not about you. We can have two resolutions. Make one about others. For instance, make a resolution to say something kind daily or to do something nice for your family every day. I believe that this will help with our overall wellness. Let me know if you have other methods or if you find these tips useful. Share with us your resolutions. ☺ #thurswithwei

Did you make any new year resolutions?

While some may scorn at the thought of believing in a new-year-new-me concept because we almost always fail at it, I encourage it. Goals help us to become more focused.

Here is a top-five list on how to keep your 2020 resolutions.

1. Make reasonable goals
They should be within reach. If you are failing your exams and you want to get 100 marks for a very subjective paper such as composition writing, you know that’s next to impossible.

Set a reasonable goal with a timeline. E.g. From 48% to 50% by term 1, get 55% by term 2 and by the end of the year, get 60%.

Keep to one or two so that they can be fulfilled.

2. Write it out and paste it where you and your friends can see it all the time.
– This is to remind you what you had wished for in March, June and even November.
– By putting it out in public, it forces you to act on it.
– You can even put it on social media and add it in one of your highlights so that you can be reminded of it.

3. Be ready to tweak the goal, reasonably.
What if I aimed to get 55% by term 2 and I got only 54%. The answer is not to give up. Tweak it so that you are still on track. You need to give yourself scope when things don’t turn out as planned.
Planning and reality are always different.

4. Think about it every night before you sleep
We get caught up in life. It happens.
During the December holiday, life is more idyllic and we have time to reflect. When we are busy with CCA, school work, projects etc, what we had planned may be in the back burner.
Give yourself five minutes before you sleep. Not to play games on your handphone, but to recall your resolution. Have you been acting on it and how far are you from it?

5. Include a resolution that’s not about you.
We can have two resolutions. Make one about others. For instance, make a resolution to say something kind daily or to do something nice for your family every day.
I believe that this will help with our overall wellness.
