In recent years, I have began to make more of a "New Year's To Do List" as opposed to one all consuming "New Year's Resolution". So many people just blatantly "resolve" to "be healthier" and to lose weight and then don't follow up on it because it's too hard or their resolution is too broad. I personally like to make goals and then make smaller goals that will lead me to reach my bigger goal. You can't just say "I want to lose 50 pounds." That's a very hard goal to achieve and you'll get discouraged because you can't achieve it quickly. You have to build a staircase (make small goals) to reach the level you want to be at (the main goal).
Setting "step goals" is a very important way of achieving one specific, big goal. If you look at my Progress Page, you can see that I have smaller goals geared towards achieving bigger goals. I have also listed the things (big and small) that I have been doing to try to become a healthier, all around better person.
My "New Year's Resolutions" for 2013 are:
- Read the Bible.
-At least 3 pages a day and I can do it. I've always said I would and this is the year.
- Lose 30 pounds.
-I already have tons of mini goals for this.
- Ask at least one new person to dance each month.
-Not really any mini-goals for this one, lol.
- Pay off at least one credit card.
-I have plans for taking a certain amount of each pay check out. I've already paid one off. :)
- Cross off at least three things from my list of things to do before I die.
-This one is kind of up in the air. I have a pretty big list of things to do before I die and I kind of wing this one each year.
What are some goals that you have? Maybe some New Year's Resolutions? Write them down/type them up. Organize them and plan what you want to do. Make a checklist so that when you accomplish something, you can check it off. It is an amazing feeling to accomplish a goal, no matter how small, and it can keep you going when times get tough.
