9 Steps To Your Best Year!
Today, January 1st, is my favorite day of the year! Why? Because it's full of optimism, opportunity and vision.
I used to do New Year's Resolutions. You know the kind, "I'm not eating fast food anymore" or "I'll lose 20 pounds this year" or "I'll stop eating sugar".
I'd do well for a couple of months and then nose dive back into my old habits. Like many of us.
That's why I don't believe in resolutions anymore. They are like empty promises that we tell ourselves. Things that we know we should do, but don't really think we're going to finish out.
That's why I now set GOALS for the new year.
Goals are full of promise, success and a newer version of myself. Goals are achievable. Goals are something I can follow and attain. Goals are exciting!
Goals are really planning your life. Think about that for a minute. When you get to the end of your days what do you want to have accomplished or become? How are you going to get there? With a plan! The plan is littered with goals (or milestones) that you'll need to get to along the way.
With a plan I can map out my action steps. With action steps I can make progress and with progress I can achieve everything I've ever wanted to.
My hubby and I are about to sit down and create our goals for 2021 and I'm SO STOKED!
If you'd like to do this too, here are the steps that we follow every year:
- List 10 things that you accomplished in the previous year that you're proud of
- Write out a few of the lessons that you learned in the previous year
- How will you carry those lessons into the new year?
- What are 10 things that you want to accomplish in the upcoming year (Do, Be, Have are good ways of sectioning them out)
- Set a timeline to when you want to have them done
- What are some of the obstacles that you might encounter?
- How do you plan to get around them?
- Why is this goal important to you?
- How will you measure your progress?
And ??BOOM ?? Goals are set!
Wishing you a year full of happiness, prosperity and health ??
