New Year, New Opportunities!
The New Year is a great time to reflect on the past year and set goals for the new. It's possible you want to set a goal to pass all your classes for the rest of the year, or attend all your classes--remote and in person--for the rest of the year. Maybe you want to set new health goals or relationship goals. Or your goal is to focus more on YOU this year.
Regardless of what your goal is, try to remember why it is you are setting it. Change comes when you decide you want to change. Do not give up on yourself even when it feels your goal is out of reach. Any little bit counts!
Use the 2021 goal setting sheet to help you get started on goal setting for the near year!
Friendly Reminder!
