New Year is the perfect time to analyze where you are on the way to where you are going.
- Audit your past year: What is going well? What didn’t work? Jot a list of what you want more of in 2020 and what you plan to change. Pay close attention to the things that made you smile and invoke good memories. Rachel Hollis has a great podcast on an end of the year audit. Check it out here https://pandora.app.link/VvY77EQgV2
- Set some goals: Write down where you want to be at the end of the year, five years from now and etc. Make your goals attainable. Instead of the goal being, to lose 50 lbs, write plans to eat better. I like non-diet related goals. However, taking care of yourself is a great goal. A good start is starting an exercise program.

- Accountability: Talk about your goals. Write them down and make a plan to make it happen. Write the steps to achieving your goal in your calendar.
- Make a vision board: Visualize where you want to be. You can do this on Pinterest.com and create a board of all the things that inspire you. Or, do it old school like me, pen and paper. A used a big sheet of poster paper and bright colored markers to draw my desired future.
- More not less: Frame your goals around having more not less. When we restrict ourselves it puts a damper on your thoughts towards that goal. This could be to drink more water. I would like to walk more is another example.
- One thing at a time: Only tackle one change at a time. When you accomplish changing a bad habit to a good one then you tackle the next. This will help you to not get overwhelmed.
- Celebrate small victories: I jot everything down in my calendar. I use it as a journal. I record the positive things about my day, week and month. It helps to keep me focused.
