What were your goals when you started the new year? How has January been for you?
It is important to reflect and take stock from time to time. The year will literally whizz by in a flash if we aren’t careful. At the end of each month, put some time aside to think about what worked for you, what you struggled with and what you need to work on next.
Whatever happened in January, there is always a way to move forward and make sure you keep making progress towards your goals (or even just start making progress).
February will be FABULOUS if you are ready to take it on!

You eventually get to the stage where you don’t even bother trying because you’re already anticipating failing. The good news is, it is never too late to change this. If this is the stage you’re at, your jobs for February are:
