What to write in your diary or journal...
There's nothing better than when you look back at your life and realise that you've achieved one of your goals.
One thing we'd recommend to do is write down your aims and goals for the year ahead in your diary. That way by the end of the week, month or year you can look back at see what ones you've achieved and the others you still need to work on.
If you haven't achieved something you wanted to, don't feel guilty or annoyed, use the opportunity to reflect on why you was unable to reach your goal.
Was it out of your hands? Does it take longer than you originally thought? Do you need extra help?
Once you've figured that out, plan ahead for the following week/month/year and try to achieve to again and write it down in your diary rather than keep it all in your head.
