It will also allow me to share the knowledge of becoming the best version of yourself that  I’ve been gaining, practising, and teaching for over 12 years now.

In Progress: I’ve made progress on this but because of the launch of my new Unbreakable Self-Discipline program, I wasn’t able to dedicate enough time for this.

I will easily Increase my Instagram engagement to 2.5% by December 31st

Why: As with the other social media goals, this year I want to focus much more on engagement rather than on the number of followers and connections. I want to develop a much closer connection with my 20K followers. In 2019, it became much harder to get good visibility and reach a wider audience on Instagram. However, no point complaining, let’s see it as a challenge. 2.5% engagement would be above average for an account of my size.

Status: Not possible to measure accurately at the moment.

Why: It’s a physical challenge I’d like to accomplish. Last year I was overly ambitious, set a 10-minute plank goal and didn’t get anywhere near that. This year I’ll keep it a bit more realistic. Planking is a great exercise to strengthen my core.

I will easily work with a running coach by September 30th

Why: I love running (seriously). It’s the simple exercise that challenges you physically and mentally (from going running to pushing forward when your muscles burn and hurt). While my running technique is generally good, I know there is still a lot I can improve to be faster and to prevent injuries. As with the previous goal, working under the supervision of an expert is the best way to get results. Really looking forward to this.
