Happy New Year! Now is the time when many of us are evaluating the past year in terms of our health, happiness, growth etc. How was 2015 for you? Did you stick with your goals? Or maybe by mid-January you already were avoiding the gym and eating unhealthy foods. Many of us decide to have one goal and when we have a set back, we may simply give up.
You may recall our post from last year. Read it again to find ways to create attainable goals.
This year, in addition to following the tips from 2015, we have another method that may help you have success in meeting your goals for 2016.
The concept is simple. Each month focus on a different area of your life and come up with goals to achieve.
You can of course change it according to your needs and goals but here are a few examples to get you started. Feel free to print this graphic out and use it as a guide. Within each of these areas what do you want to accomplish? Learn? Change? Add to your daily routine?
Here are a few ideas:
