Happy New Year!
I hope you have been enjoying the holiday season. I sure have!
Now, if you’re like most people…You’re probably thinking about your goals for the coming year.
But before you jump into setting those New Year’s resolutions…
Let’s take a step back.
How did your resolutions go last year? Or the year before that?
As most of us have experienced, setting a goal just because it’s January 1st isn’t enough to make it stick.
Not because resolutions are “bad” — but because if you want to reach your goals and finally release the fatigue or weight you’ve been carrying around for longer than you like, it helps to make your resolutions more meaningful and specific.
So BEFORE you saddle yourself with a big list of goals…
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
What HABITS would make the biggest positive impact on my daily life? We tend to overestimate how much we need to do to reach our goals. Instead, think about which habits will give you the biggest return!
What’s held me back in the past from taking action? This isn’t to beat yourself up… it’s to get ahead of challenges before they pop up. If there’s something that keeps getting in your way, NOW is your chance to acknowledge it and make a plan to tackle it!
How does this goal align with my core values? When your goals reflect what’s truly important to you, you’re MUCH more likely to stick with them. For example, if family is a core value, frame your health goals around being there for the people you care about. Maybe together you can head out to do a fitness class and then meal prep, for example.
If you can answer these questions, you’ll end up with resolutions you’re actually excited about.
Not just right now…
But even in a month, two months, or even six months from now… long after almost everyone else has given up.
So, take some time to reflect on these.
If you can, write down your answers, and refine your resolutions from there.
Here’s to making 2025 your best year yet!
