Next, it is time to look forward and start planning for the next six months. When you realise what goals set off a spark within you, and when you decide on the path you want to take, the groundwork must be laid.

Noona Nafousi, founder of Neo Noor Coaching, says deadlines are a good motivation. “On one hand, you have six months ahead of you,” she explains. “On the other hand we are six months into the year, so that should spur you on to make the most of the time left in 2023. Deadlines are extremely motivational within reason – make sure you set realistic dates or check-in points for yourself and go make them happen.

“Deadlines also make you think more specifically and strategically – this in itself wires your brain to laser focus on what’s possible, and again, what ‘June you’ truly wants versus the January version of yourself.”

Nafousi notes that there is power in habit. “Whatever your goals are, you will have to establish the habits that will make them happen,” she adds. “Whether fitness, financial, career or family, success comes from the formation of habitual action. It’s time to assess what ‘habits’ you need to make your specific goals happen and plan what you need to do to achieve them.

“Remember to break them down. Small steps are easier to digest, but add up to something bigger.”
