Setting Goals for the New Year

Setting goals for the new year? Make sure you follow through with them by using these tips for successful goal setting!

Intentional Goal Setting

Two friends are chatting about their diets. The first one says, “I want to be healthy and feel great.” The second one says, “I intend to be healthy and feel great.” Which one do you think is going to get healthy and feel great? Yep – the one who intends it. Wanting is simply wishing you can have or do a particular thing. Intending means you’re committed to achieving something by setting goals and making a plan for success!

Tips for Successfully Setting Goals

The key to setting goals is action. Follow these tips to build your intention muscle:

• Get clear on what you want. Create a vision board by gathering images and words that pertain to your goal, and gluing them onto a large piece of construction paper. Hang the collage in a spot where you’ll see it often (or, you can use an online service like Pinterest to create a digital vision board).
• Do something to make your desire happen. Let’s say you want to eat four servings of vegetables a day. Your first action may be to go to a farmers’ market and purchase a few veggies you can cook for dinner.
• Celebrate your achievement! Don’t forget to congratulate yourself for meeting your goal.
