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

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! 🌈
