After acknowledging the values you have accumulated in the past year, in the exciting atmosphere of Tet 2023, it is time for you to gear up for a brilliant new start by making a list of things you wish for.
However, choose realistic goals that are suitable for you because when we set goals too high, we tend to get discouraged and easily give up.
You can use the SMART 5-element goal model:
Specific – Specific
Measurable – Measurable
Achievable – Feasibility
Relevant – Suitability
Time Bound – Time limit
Whether it was a successful year or a year with many unsatisfactory things, when you piece together the past events, you will see that they are valuable experiences, opportunities for you to hone your skills and knowledge.
ELLE girls, you have been very resilient and strong in the past year’s journey, so please be more generous and forgiving of yourself!
