2020 was a tough year (understatement?)
But by now I am sure so many of you have learnt that it is through the worst of times that actually we learn out biggest lessons.
So what lessons did 2020 teach us which we can take into 2021?
My top 10 lessons from 2020
1/ It’s ok to talk about when you are struggling.
2/ It’s in difficult times that people really step up and show who they are.
3/ Enjoy the small things, but continue to push for the big things.
4/ Life isn’t linear, the downs are just as important, perhaps more important, than the ups.
5/ Look after your own energy, it’s a precious commodity.
6/ Not everyone deserves your attention, but be kind.
7/ It’s ok to slow down to help you speed up.
8/ Change is inevitable – lean into it.
9/ Setting goals is great, being adaptable is better.
10/ If you stay focused on your purpose amidst adversity you will be ok.
2020 taught us a lot and whilst the pandemic may not be completely behind us, let’s take the learnings and the perspective that it has given us and use this new year to really make the change we want so that we can start living the life that is really going to fulfil us.
It can be a huge year for you: do you want it to be?
