A New Year & Our Mission Statement

Each year Resolutions on New Year’s Day are made. Some Resolutions are achieved where others are not. A better practice is creating a SMART Goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound), which we have presented in previous emails. Again, the success rate is not perfect. This year we want to present alternatives. We see these options as a combination of Resolutions and SMART Goals. For those with issues achieving a resolution or goal, these options may prove successful and help boost self-confidence and positivity.

• Create a personal Mission Statement.
• Compile a bucket list.
• Write a letter to your future self.
• Create a monthly challenge.
• Join a yearly challenge.
• Pick something personal to track or measure.
• Practice mindfulness / meditation.
• Form realistic “To do…” lists.
• Build a vision board.
• Reboot an area of your life.
• Use a word or mantra of the week or month.
• Decide on one-word for the year. (Choose one word that gives you clarity and focus and summarizes what you want for the year.)
• Perform gratitude exercises. (Examples: gratitude journaling or periodic “I’m grateful for…” statements.)
• Construct a jar of goals. (Choose non-time specific goals: pick a goal from the jar; achieve it; repeat.)

As always, if your goals/resolutions/alternatives are helped by additional education and training, we hope you consider our online, self-paced options.
