The key to achieving your goals is to make sure they are practical and achievable, says Destiny. Here are her top suggestions.

Understand your current situation

Reflect on your accomplishments, challenges, and priorities so far this year. Are you happy with how things went? What went well? What didn’t? What could have been done differently? This is the perfect time to be honest, reflect and understand where you’ve been, where you stand, and where you want to go

Set clear goals and break them down

It’s important to divide your larger goals into much smaller actionable steps or milestones. Think of it like a staircase and you’re making your way up with each step. This process makes goals less overwhelming and a lot easier to tackle in stages.

Allow yourself the time to prioritise and plan

Prioritising is the key to success. Knowing what to do and when to do it is how you win at life. You need to get serious with your priorities – they may just change your life.

Keep going

End-of-year burnout is real, but if you feel as though you’re not at risk of that then end-of-year motivation can be powerful too. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t reach your goals exactly how and when you want to. Everyone’s life is different and we are all on our own individual journeys. If you’re feeling stagnant, lost or discouraged, don’t change your goals – just change the route you’re taking to get there.
