A New Year, A Meaningful Goal
Making New Year’s resolutions is a tradition for many of us.
But instead of choosing something you feel you should do, what if you set a goal that connects to something you truly want or need?
Maybe you want more time together as a family, more energy for the things you love, or a chance to learn something new.
Setting Goals That You Can Achieve
Whatever your goal, take a moment to explore what’s behind it and make a plan to set yourself up for success:
Identify the need. What do you hope this goal will bring into your life? Why does it matter to you?
Notice what gets in the way. Are there routines, responsibilities, thoughts or beliefs that make it harder to give this part of your life attention?
Create a new habit. What small, realistic action could you take regularly to move toward your goal? Decide when and how you’ll make it part of your routine.
New habits take time to develop, so be patient with yourself and keep showing up. If you miss a day or need to adjust your plan, that’s OK. You can always begin again.
