We have six months left in 2020 as I write these words. It is June 30th. Today is the last day of the first half of the year. Therefore I think it is a good time to think ahead to the next 6 months and what you want to achieve. How about setting a 30 day challenge 2020 for yourself for the month of July? I have already set my own 30 day challenge 2020 for July and will share how I get on with my own challenge with the 1,500+ students on my course Goal Setting 101: how to set and achieve goals.
2020 is challenging
The past few months have been very challenging and will continue to be challenging due to the Covid 19 crisis. Ireland, where I live, was largely shut down – non essential businesses were closed and people told to stay at home. At last, the country has mostly opened up for business again by the end of June. However the virus is still there and could re-surge in the coming months. In particular when the autumn and winter seasons come upon us. We will have cold and damp conditions, which as far as I understand, favours the spread of the virus. We will also have the normal cold and flue season to complicate matters. The economic fallout from the pandemic will continue to be felt as well.
What can we do?
What can we do as individuals? Firstly we can be kind to each other, look to the common good and help where we can and comply with government health guidelines. We can focus our efforts and energies on what we can control ourselves. We can focus on achieving our own goals and making the best of whatever opportunities we have. An important thing we can do is focus on being grateful for all the good we have in our lives and make the most of each and every day.
Goals
Perhaps this is also a good time to redefine your goals and your direction in life? My course will show you how to identify your life’s purpose and vision and how to formulate great goals. The course will also show you great strategies to achieve your goals and the 30 day challenge is one of these strategies. Please check out the free course preview here.
Have a wonderfully productive July and may you make great progress in the direction of your goals and dreams.
Best wishes,
