Looking back at what happened in 2019 and thinking about the progress you made \u2013 or didn\u2019t make \u2013 towards your goals is only half of the process. Here are the 5 ways that Kimi recommends you move forward in 2020:\n1.State your setbacks \u2013 Be honest and transparent with yourself about what got in your way this year, but don\u2019t dwell on these setbacks. Claim the goals you had set for the year but didn\u2019t quite reach because it is important to keep these in mind as you plan for next year.\n2.See the value in the experience \u2013 Reflect and really try to glean everything you can from the lessons you learned through the ups and downs of 2019. Be thankful for the things that happened and analyze the reasons why, allowing yourself to let certain things go.\n3.Step out of your comfort zone \u2013 As was discussed in the previous episode of the podcast, it is likely that some of your unmet goals were the result of avoiding change. Next year, be prepared to do things differently and take steps towards where you want to be, even if they are micro-steps.\n4.Select your alternatives \u2013 Take some time to define what exactly is going to be different, whether it means modifying or intensifying your process, streamlining, or outsourcing. Recognize that the way you have been doing things hasn\u2019t been getting you the results you want, and you do not have to do it all alone. Coaches and accountability groups are a great resource as well.\n5.Set small goals \u2013 If you have a big goal, it can be intimidating to wake up every morning thinking about how big the goal really is. It is much easier to break down the goal into smaller, shorter-term goals that are much more attainable from day-to-day and week-to-week. Setting smaller goals helps keep your motivation up and makes it easier to be consistent in your pursuit of the small and big goals. Celebrating these smaller milestones along the way builds your momentum on the way to achieving your big goal.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Taking action on lessons learned\n\u2022Stepping out of your comfort zone\n\u2022Setting smaller goals to gradually work towards a bigger goal\n\u2022Deciding how things will be different from now on\n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/\nhttps://web.facebook.com/kimiwalker\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimiwalker \nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/KimiFitWell","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/694f10c6-84e2-4627-bfbe-7aa003bdff11/049b44db63c10ecef8f658953890acfb.jpg"}
