As the year draws to a close, the process of review and reset begins. Typically, it involves taking stock of your career, personal growth, health, and finance. And then comes the annual task of setting resolutions for the new year, to become a better, happier version of oneself. According to experts, the foundation for a better life is rooted in asking yourself the right questions, to know exactly what you want.
Like, what's that one thing you want from your job, besides, of course, the monthly salary? What's stopping you from being completely present emotionally and mentally during family time? These are simple but complex questions.
We asked experts for tips that can help people—managers, CXOs, newbies joining the workforce, or anyone looking to make 2025 a better year for themselves—self-reflect and plan resolutions in a way they are mindful and, most importantly, achievable.
STAY IN DEMAND
One of the most popular new year resolutions is the desire for a professional reinvention. More so now, when upskilling and reskilling have become the need of the hour in a volatile job market.
"Deeply reflect on your career," suggests Amit Nandkeolyar, associate professor of organizational behavior at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A), as a starting point when it comes to upskilling or reskilling. "Is this a skill that may still be in high demand in the future, or do you need to learn? Maybe you are in a sweet spot, and don't have to worry about it. But if you are concerned, start upskilling by attending online classes, workshops, and certified courses."
Platforms like Coursera and edX provide several flexible online courses, so do premium educational institutes like IIMs and Harvard.
Besides upgrading your skills, continue to focus on good-old network building as well.
