Did you make new year resolutions?  Are you still working on them?  Or have you already quit?     

The top three resolutions are  health, wealth, self growth.    However these topics are very broad.  

Let's get back on the right path and turn those resolutions into Goals!

1. Know Your "Why"

Think about why this resolution matters to you.

• Example: "I want to get healthier because I’m tired of feeling low-energy and want to keep up with my kids (or fur babies!)."

2. Get Specific

A vague resolution is like a GPS without a destination. Narrow it down!

• Instead of: "Be healthier."
• Try: "Go to the gym three times a week and eat veggies with every meal."

3. Measure It

You need to track progress to stay motivated. Add numbers or milestones!

• Example: "Run a mile without stopping by March" or "Save $1,000 by June."

4. Break It Into Bite-Sized Pieces

Big goals are great, but they can feel overwhelming. Start small and build up.

• Example: "This month, I’ll start walking for 15 minutes daily. Next month, I’ll jog for 10 of those minutes."

5. Add a Timeframe

Deadlines help you stay on track. Think of them as friendly reminders, not pressure.

• Example: "By June, I want to feel confident wearing that outfit I’ve been saving."

6. Be Realistic

Dream big, but keep it doable. Life gets busy, so set goals that fit your schedule.

• Example: If you’re swamped, aim for 20-minute workouts instead of hour-long ones.

7. Make It Meaningful

Tie your goal to something that excites or inspires you.

• Example: "I want to cook healthier meals so I can host family dinners where we all feel good about what we’re eating."

8. Celebrate Your Wins

Don’t wait until the end to give yourself credit. Small wins are still wins!

• Example: Treat yourself to a nice water bottle after sticking to your workout plan for a month.

9. Plan for Roadblocks

Stuff happens—it’s normal. Have a backup plan for when life throws you curveballs.

• Example: Miss a workout? Do a quick yoga session or a few stretches instead.

10. Check In and Adjust

Your goals don’t have to be set in stone. Life changes—so can your plans.

• Example: If weekly meal prep is too much, try planning just three dinners instead.

Turning resolutions into goals doesn’t have to feel like work. It’s all about baby steps, flexibility, and making progress that feels good for you. You’ve got this!
