Goal you'd like to reach for yourself in 2023?

qualitygal — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:36:47 GMT

For some reason, yesterday, I was doing some thinking about 2023 and what goal I'd like to reach.

Think mine is to finish the weight loss, I've been on this year, and get to maintenance once and for all. I want to also just shop my stash of yarn for crochet and one other hobby I have. Purpose is so I can just do some puzzles and read some books I've held onto for awhile. I want to make some of those changes for myself. Feel the need.

Are you thinking of any changes, or goals for your own life for this next year?

I don't set New Year goals. Many goals are unreasonable, so that's why they tend to fail. If one wants to set goals, do it within limits and set something you know you'll reach.

I'm going to enjoy the Christmas season first. No reason to rush into the next year - it will have 365 days to think about/reach goals just like all the others.

This year's goal after turning 60 last Christmas was to be kinder to myself. No more rules, regulations or deprivations. I am going to continue that but also try to dust more often. I hate it.

See my side hustle take off more than it already has and continue the hard lesson of 2022. It's definitely my turn now. Time to do my dreams and let everyone else take care of themselves.

To be more perceptive regarding the truthfulness of what those who are running for elected office are telling the media. And to be alive in 2024 to put that information to use.

To stop eating carbs. I already work out every day and have for 2-1/2 years but my eating habits could be a little cleaner so I'll focus on that.

I gave up on New Year's resolutions Year's ago. Especially when it comes to weight loss. It's not a goal bebecause I don't have plan but I hope to figure what my next chapter will be. I retired in April and while I have enjoyed having my life to myself, I'm bored now. I need a purpose.

I do not set goals because of a holiday or the like... I rather just set them as I need them set... going day by day and just take each day at a time.. each day as a New Start.

I think when you say "January 1 is the day I am going to start doing THIS" .... you set yourself up for failure. especially if after a week you blow it....

I say start each day fresh... do not look back at yesterday as a failure. Instead look at the new day as a new fresh begining... nothing wrong with starting over again many times with a positive goal insight.

Yes! Especially the part about each day being a new start. For me, not dwelling on mistakes of yesterday makes achieving goals more attainable.

However, I do look at the New Year as a time to say "good riddance" to anything that was unpleasant in the previous year!

My biggest goal is to remain committed to performing certain health rituals I'm already doing and a few extras I'm currently establishing for myself. Doing them now will eliminate the "January 1" thing.

To be as thankful as I can every day to the one who makes my blessings. That's my goal.

I make goals as the need arises, but I also like to think about what changes I want to make as one year comes to a close and another begins.

I want to start learning some basic yoga. I think it will be a good addition to my current workout routine. I've already downloaded an App so I want to start trying that some mornings. I also want to shop less. I love to shop, especially for clothes and shoes. I'm not in debt, but I have more than enough clothing. I need to buy just what I truly need. I tried to set a limit on the number of items I could buy this year, but I failed miserably. Going to try again.

Best Wishes to All for a Happy & Healthy New Year! 🌈
