Check-in

Sometimes it’s really important to take a moment to check in – to stop, analyse and register what you have been doing over the past 6 months to a year, or longer. Have you been fulfilling those goals and ticking off that list or did other things get in the way? 

If it’s the latter, perhaps you need to prioritise or maybe the goals you set before are not relevant any more? In that case, it’s good to revisit and set yourself new goals or rejig them. 

Are there things you had forgotten you wrote down and have already done? If so, great, be sure to tick it off your list. You might even want to add more on. The great thing is it’s your list and you get to put whatever you want on it – big or small, it really is up to you. 

Where are you keeping your list? On a wall, in your diary, in a blog post? It’s probably worth sticking your list somewhere where it is clearly visible each day so that it taps into your subconscious mind and helps remind you of the things you want to achieve every day you wake. This is what living is about – doing what you’ve always wanted to! Embrace it 😉

If you haven’t written your bucket list yet then maybe you should – it really helps with getting things into perspective and giving you something to focus on. I love it! 

I decided to revisit my own bucket list and make a few updates to the list and I must say I am very happy with my progress.

Whilst it’s great to set goals and tick things off – we also need to give credit to our achievements to-date which might not be on our list. This could be from your personal or professional life or both. 

At school, we used to have records of achievements and it shouldn’t stop now. It’s a reminder of how far we have come and a little note to ourselves to look at all we have achieved and really be proud of ourselves!
