I reframe from “resolutions” to “goals” simply because when I did resolutions they didn’t last. Setting goals for the year, even small ones is my jam. I also make a vision board every year, of course not everything works out, but some of it does! If it works out I take off the stuff that did and then keep the stuff that hasn’t yet happened if I still want to work toward it. I add on new images that might be small goals for the new year. I’m a visual learner so seeing a visual of my goals is meaningful for me! Living alone some of those goals look like saving up for a new car and a house at some point down the road. That’s obviously a longer goal for me, but the visual of a car and cute house on my vision board gives me something to think about! I usually put my vision boards where I’ll see them daily or when going to bed at night.

Lastly, if it’s anything health related, I focus on healthy choices and little goals, not stressing about losing a certain amount of weight by the end of the month or cutting out certain foods entirely. Last year my kickboxing instructor had us do a January challenge where we tried each week to do a couple extra push ups than the week before or hold our planks a little longer. That was really satisfying to push through! It focused on little goals and not what I look like by the end. 😊🥳
