The birth of a new year – is it time to get what you really want?

2 mins read

Some of my clients come to coaches to be happy…

So, I ask them, what makes them happy? Oftentimes, the answer is, “I don’t know,” or some vague ideas about earning more money, traveling, freedom from work, etc.

But what really makes you happy? You probably don’t know what you really want. And knowing it seems too difficult to achieve. Is this because we are so conditioned by the outer world from a young age? Or is it because we don’t even dare to ask ourselves,

“What do we really want?”

Regardless of the reason, by consequence, we are NOT having what we want in our lives. Most of the time, we are living other people’s expectations or living the result of social conditioning.

So where to start?

  • Goal settings
  • Vision board
  • Visualization
  • Journaling
  • Meditation

They help you spend some time thinking about what you want in your life and connect with yourself. We need to dare what we want, not what we should or have to do. We need to raise our own voice and start to listen to it rather than avoid it.

The best person who knows the best about you is yourself. This end of the year is the perfect time to review your year and design your new year.

Start to listen to your true voice and ask questions to yourself, “What do I really want in 2022?”
