New Year = New Goals

2009 is wrapping to an end very quickly so you know what that means?
Time to refresh goals for the year.

They say goals need to be attainable and specific in your wish to keep them going. For some goals you could even set up rewards for completion. They also say that you don’t want a list that is too long. Concentrate on what’s the most important for you.

So here are mine…

ME/PERSONAL

  • Read at least 1 personal book of choice every month…
  • Have at least 30min of “me time” everyday…

ME/HEALTH

  • Take stairs UP to 3rd floor at least 1x daily at work…
  • End the day with my yoga stretches at least 5x a week…
  • Include a vegetable AND a fruit with every meal…

FAMILY

  • Designate a “mommy & me” time at least 1x a week with one of the kids…
  • Have a monthly “date night” with DH…

MONEY

  • Auto-pay bills now that I’m working full time again (house, insurance, vehicle loans at the minimum)…
  • Save $2K by mid November by putting money to the side into a separate account every pay period…

I figure these are small steps towards a better life balance and less stress for me.

Have you been thinking about your new goals for the new year?
OR Are you throwing out the idea all together this year?

    Honestly, I haven't thought twice about new year's resolutions. Although I probably should. I have plenty of room for development and improvement in my life. Possibly, I should dedicate a blog to it, sponsored by you? Lol. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and have an even better week!

    You have made some very attainable goals.

    I can see me reading 1 book of my choice a month & having a date nite with dear hubby.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR

    I loooove your goals! :-) Especially the Me/Personal goals, lol. It's amazing how quickly you can get caught up in taking care of everyone else and forget to take time for yourself… next thing you know it's 2010 and you wonder where the time went! :-)
