How to Create Better Goals for the New Year - Resolutions & Intentions

It's easy to write down a list of things that would be NICE to accomplish and that would impress others. But wouldn't it be BETTER if you created goals you actually accomplished? Here are 5 tips on how to create better goals that are beneficial & easier to accomplish.

Show Notes:
I enjoy goal setting & thinking ahead on how to achieve dreams & ambitions, but a lot of the time I will take on too much and not be as organized as I could about it. I also don’t do the work of considering how I want to feel at the end of the year if I have actually achieved my goals. And often, I wouldn’t even TRULY believe I would achieve my goals, but really hang onto hope & fake belief that it would all just come together. But nothing really comes together if you don’t have a good plan with multiple steps & ways to ramp up the progress & reflect on milestones achieved. If you say you’re going to start a business in the next year, but don’t have the intention & action to create a business plan, research start-up costs & have checkpoints to hit, you’re not gonna start a business. You might actually waste a lot of time and money with nothing to show for it.

And I know some people don’t believe in new years resolutions or setting goals at the top of the year because of fake statistics that say people give up in the first month or so. And maybe your reasons are different for why you don’t believe in this practice, but either way, I encourage you to consider thinking about goal setting in a different way.

Think about it more in a way to keep yourself accountable to actually starting a goal (especially if you’re one of those people that say you’re gonna do something but never do) and allowing the newness of the year to breathe fresh life & hope into you, while simultaneously allowing the past year to become less of a burden & worry for you.

So, in today’s episode, we are going to talk about how to CREATE our goals and in the next episode will be how to actually work on these goals and better plan your life over the next year. Here are 5 tips on how to create goals & resolutions for New Year’s that are worth creating:

1. Don’t feel forced to start on Day 1.
2. Ask yourself how you want to feel after you accomplish this goal. 
3. Know your reasons for achieving the goal.
4. Come up with your goal, then break it down into the smallest steps possible. 
5. Don’t be afraid to change your mind. 

Thanks so much for listening to this episode! I really appreciate you!
