Wow – August Bank Holiday already! Where has the year gone?
I find the August Bank Holiday always brings me some focus. It’s the final holiday of the year (until Christmas), draws a line under summer, and paves the way for those final four months of the year, and the goals for them.
Personally speaking it’s really easy to beat yourself up at this point in the year about what you should have done, how much further ahead you should have been. You know what? That’s okay.
You are where you are, and actually, when you look back (which I encourage you to do), you’ll likely see you’ve achieved far more than you thought once you actually think hard about it.
For me, the changing of the seasons gives me impetus to really get going for the final push into the year end. I’ve got a big project I want to get out there, and realising September is just around the corner is the perfect motivation to really crack on.
What goal or goals do you have for 2021 that as yet are unfulfilled? There is still plenty of time if you use it wisely.
I’d encourage you to have fun this weekend, but also take stock. List your wins, the things you have now you’re grateful for, the new things in your life you worked for, and also choose one goal you are going to achieve before the year end.
Me? I’m excited for the weekend, but more than that, excited for the rest of this year.
Be bold, be brave, you’ve got this.
