Yearly Habits and Goals List

We’re sharing our Yearly Habits and Goals List and the action steps we’ll be taking to achieve them.

After an incredibly busy holiday season, I found myself excitedly prepping for the New Year.

I had my calendar filled out, fully embraced the Word of the Month, our January meal plan was ready to go and I had started nailing down the best way to tweak our morning and nightly routines.

Monday and Tuesday I was on fire (or as on fire as you can be while recovering from cold and flu season).

Each morning I woke up eager to write in my journal and begin my fitness routine.

And every night I was tickled pink to record things in my daily planning pages.

By Wednesday I was in bed with a raging migraine and I was SO frustrated.

I instantly thought, “Here we go! It’s not even a month into the New Year and I’m already off track!”

I knew I couldn’t sit in that space very long though or it would completely hijack the day.

So, I started listing all the small things that had gone right.

And I gently reminded myself there were still plenty of days left in the year.

After resting most of the day, I felt so much better.

Not only because I had given myself grace.

But because I had also actively listened and given my body exactly what it needed.

Embracing a No-Pressure January…

I share this because the minute the clock strikes midnight on January 1st, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to start tackling our goals, dreams, resolutions, and intentions immediately.

While that mindset can be very alluring, it can also bring about complicated feelings if we’re still struggling with holiday fatigue, illness or if things haven’t work out as planned.

So, as you go about your day today, I hope you’ll take time to notice those small tweaks that can help make your life better or easier.

Big goals are great, they’re definitely necessary for growth.

Often though, it’s the tiny steps we take each day consistently that have the most lasting impact on our lives.

Incorporating Our Yearly Goals List Into Our Daily Lives…

Most of the action items I’ve listed above are things that have already been incorporated into our daily, weekly, and monthly lives which feels like an awesome head start.

We’ve worked hard to develop rituals and routines that work well for our family.

However, we simply need to tweak them a bit and make them more consistent.

Another big reason why the word “Elevate” is my Word of the Year this year.

Clarity Through Action…

I know there will be times we take two steps forward and feel like we’re making big progress only to be thrown a life curveball and have to take one step back.

Still, it doesn’t make those two steps forward any less significant though.

For every minute spent developing healthy habits, making little tweaks as needed, and choosing progress over perfection is a step in the right direction.

So, never doubt, you are worth the investment.

As always, I’ll be cheering you on.

Let us know what goals, dreams, resolutions, intentions, or themes you’re working on this year!
