New Year. New Goals!

/in /by

As we start off our new year, many of us have new goals or things that we would like to focus on.

Some may have goals to exercise more, become active, lose weight, get in shape, increase endurance or stamina, increase muscle mass, feel better, increase confidence, drink more water, get outside more, learn a new task, start reading more, start walking more, increase flexibility/mobility, decrease stress or anxiety, get more sleep, work on mental health, meet more friends.

Goals can be anything, not just exercise or fitness related. There are many other ways to increase our health mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally.

Ways to Make Goals and Keep Them.

  1. Write your goals down.
  2. Put your written goals places that you see them often as a reminder.
  3. Make a vision board of your goals or what you want to achieve and how you will feel once you reach your goals.
  4. Write a timeline and include key milestones. This will make you work harder at achieving them knowing you set a timeline along the way. You can also celebrate or treat yourself when you reach various milestones along your timeline.
  5. Find an accountability partner, friend, or coach.
  6. If need be, and depending on your goals, hire a professional within that field to help you.
  7. Take action towards your goals. A little bit each day can go along way!
  8. Celebrate your accomplishments.
  9. Don’t just look at the negative. If you are not where you should be or you’re a bit behind from reaching your goals by your timeline, readjust your timeline and keep moving forward.
  10. Goals and timelines can be adjusted if you feel its necessary.
  11. Remember – the only way to fail is to give up.
  12. Be positive and repeat “Yes I can” or “You got this” when things feel tough.
  13. Don’t Give up!!

These tools and strategies can be very helpful when you are feeling unmotivated, or if don’t know how you will reach your goals and need some guidance.
