2021 might not be your year, again, and that might be down to COVID or it might be the fact that each year you set resolutions and don’t stick to them. I’m not here to put you off, absolutely not, I want to help you face 2021 with a realistic view and a positive outcome.
Let’s take a look at it:
Mental health and stress in the aftermath
Children, how can we help minimize the effects?
Social distancing and lockdowns will continue well into 2021, be prepared
Working online will continue, it might be the new normal for many
Income worries and financial pressure might grow
Budgeting, how do you spend, how do you save?
Make extra money - can you monetize a hobby, make passive income?
Invest in yourself - retrain, learn a trade, online education
Employments - fewer jobs, overqualified, too old/too young, pay cut to stay employed
Relationships, it’s good to talk, learn how to cope in your relationship or seek help, declutter negative ones
How do you spend your time? Declutter, Mindfulness, Exercise. Church, read, call friends, join an online quiz, get offline, take in your surroundings
Don’t look at 2021 by itself, make a 5year plan instead
The vaccine is coming BUT it might be a good few months yet so…
Prepare yourself for a new year with realistic hopes and goals. Look back over the year and celebrate the wins, however small. List out what you’re grateful for, what you overcame, what you learned, etc.
Prepare yourself for more odd and disruptive working and investing in yourself, your future, and your opinions.
Prepare yourself for more isolation but be aware of what makes you not feel quite so isolated, and do more of that.
