Spiritual Goal: Read my scriptures and say my prayers every day.
Physical Goal: Stick to my healthy eating habits, exercise 6 days a week, and lose 5 lbs. per month until I get to my goal weight.
Household Goal: Spend time at least one day a week on cleaning/organizing the basement.
Financial Goal: Stick to my budget and work on Dave Ramsey’s baby steps.
Now, I realize that I’m not perfect otherwise I’d already be doing all of these things. I know that I can’t expect myself to accomplish my goals perfectly. There will probably be days that I don’t accomplish anything at all and that’s ok. I’m going to take it one day at a time. If I mess up I’m not going to get frustrated, consider myself a failure and give up. If I mess up one day or one week or one month I can still refocus on these goals the following day. The only way I’ll be a failure is if I do give up. Each month I’ll re-evaluate my goals and whether or not I’m on track.
Also, each month I’ll choose a focus goal and really work hard on that specific goal that month. I’ll blog about it and let you know how it’s going as well. I’ll start with my spiritual goal because I believe that improving my relationship with God and making sure I’m in tune and worthy to receive guidance from the Holy Spirit will be the key to having the strength and determination to accomplish my goals.
Did you make any goals for the new year? What have you resolved to do?
