The Season of Change

For many of us approaching the New Year encourages reflection and wiliness to undertake some changes. It is not always easy to work out what it is that we want or need to change, here are some tips that may facilitate some positive thinking.
​

1. Think about what you enjoyed the most this year. What were your best experiences, moments and highlights of the year? Write a list and tick the ones you want to repeat in the next year.
2. Think about something you really wanted to do but you did not have time. Added it to you list.
3. Think about the one new thing that you want to try the next year. Added that to your list as well.
4. Write four positive feelings you want to experience at least every week in the New Year, write next to each feeling the things that may help you to feel that way. For example: I want to feel happy. I feel happy when I play with my dog. I will make sure I play with my dog at least once a week.
5. Write four names of people that make you feel cared for, happy and safe and make sure you will be in contact with them regularly.

You can add to this list your own ideas but this can be a start for the New Year. Remember change does not have to be huge it can be small things you do every day but will make a significant impact in your life in the long term. Change always start with the way you think about yourself and what you want to achieve.

Happy New Year!
