The new year is here, and millions of people worldwide have made New Year’s resolutions. Whether your resolution is eating healthier, working out more or growing your friendships, you will be motivated to keep these goals initially, but by the end of January, your resolutions will likely lose their importance.
However, setting goals for yourself is incredibly important, not only for personal development but also for career growth and happiness. Psychology Today found that intentionally setting a specific goal drastically increases the likelihood of that goal coming to fruition. Take time out of your busy schedule to clear your mind and evaluate what your life is missing or needing more of this upcoming year. Then, mentally set your intention of achieving that particular goal.
Similarly, researchers found that participants who wrote down their goals were 33% more successful in reaching them. Before downloading any apps, take the time to set your goals and physically write them down. From that one step, you will automatically be in a far better position to reach your milestones.
Beyond the initial steps of establishing your goals, download these apps to help you stay on track!
