[00:00:00] Hey mama friend. Today I wanna share my number one tip for setting goals for the new year. Sure, it’s still 2022, but it’s coming quickly and you want to be able to start that new year out on a good note. So the number one tip I have is, review this past year’s goals. You wanna see what you’ve accomplished.
You don’t wanna fix what’s not broken. You want to see what are some things that I did well? What are some things that maybe I need to tweak and change a little bit. So, for example, maybe you did really well with water this year, and that’s not something that you feel like you need to really work at this year.
Maybe you have been exercising. But your hours have shifted, or maybe your schedule has changed because of kids being in various places. So now you need to figure out where am I fitting that exercise in? [00:01:00] Again, I’ll give you an example of somebody that I’m working with right now. She had set a goal of exercising first thing in the morning after she got off of the phone with her prayer partner. Well, she decided that her sleep was much more important than getting up to exercise, so she decided that in the evening they have a set time of when they get off of electronics, maybe that might be a better time for her to do that for 10 or 15 minutes.
Exercise that she is wanting to do to get her started on being able to exercise. So now she has set that goal of, okay, 3 times a week I’m gonna be doing my video that allows me to walk for a mile. So now she has a new time that she’s gonna actually do it.
You need to consider what you want next year to look like.
#1 Tip for Setting Goals in the New Year
What specific areas do you wanna work on? Are you [00:02:00] thinking that you need to work on your sleep? Do you need to work on making better meal choices? Do you want a meal plan? Do you want to work on exercise? Where’s that gonna fit into your schedule, your routine? So you really need to kind of think. what has happened this past year so you can make some decisions about what next year will look like and don’t make the list super long because when we choose so many things to try to work out all at once, we’re much less likely to actually accomplish them because there’s so many that we’re trying to do.
I usually recommend choosing one or two items initially to start with until they become a routine and they say that you. give about 21 days to make a habit, and sometimes it may take a little longer than that. So if you’re able to take one habit and work on it for a month and figure [00:03:00] out where it fits in your schedule, then you’re gonna be able to fit that in your routine, and it’ll be a little easier to actually do, and you will miss it if you’re actually not doing.
So I want you to think about like my number one tip again, is when you’re setting your New Year’s goals for next year, review what you did this past year so you can make some good choices for the next year. So what I want you to do, the takeaway is, set aside some time here in the next couple of weeks.
Put it on your calendar where you can be alone. Have some quiet time. Review what you’ve done, look at what your calendar has looked like. You know, can you take some things out so that it’s less hectic for you, so you can fit in those things that are the most important to you at the time. So you’re able to manage what you wanna do and still feel good about what you’re going [00:04:00] to do this next year.
Put it on your calendar. Find some time to look at. And make it happen. Thanks. Hope everything is well for you and be blessed.
