Have you tried to set goals before, only to fail and give up within two weeks? Most New Year’s resolutions fail before January is done.
It is time to do things differently this year. It is time for creating aligned goals.
When you are starting new goals for the year, make sure that you follow these simple rules. It will help you to ensure that you can stay on track and really create the changes that you desire to bring into your life.
**Keep your goals SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time-bound
When we start to make goals we often have the end in mind, and those goals are BIG (for me at least). When our goals are too big it can feel insurmountable and overwhelming to do it all.
This year, I did a few things differently to start my goals out right.
- I looked at my year end goals and really felt what it would feel like to have them completed. How would I feel when I had them all under my belt? I sat in that feeling and felt all of the good things surrounding me.
- I broke my goals up into different categories. This allowed me to take the things that I value the most and create goals that would make the most sense. My categories were mind, body, spirit and life. So I have a mindset goal, a physical goal, a spiritual goal and a lifestyle goal.
- I worked backwards, and broke down my goals into different chunks. That way I can have some wins right away, and start really seeing results.
I took my big goal, and broke it down into a small goal for each category that I can start now, and feel good when I hit each small goal. - I am giving myself grace. I know that I won’t be able to do everything everyday…life happens. I am starting out with 2-3 days a week for some of my goals, and knowing that I will build up over time.
I want the wins!! - Reevaluate every month. You can add goals, or take them back if you get overly excited. It’s ok to recommit and start fresh each month too.
You are amazing and I know that you can rock your goals this year. Take it slow and recommit if you need to.
