Goal Setting for the New Year
Goal setting is the only way to track your accomplishments and set up a game plan. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to become?
Is this the year you will ride a horse for the first time or snow ski? Set a goal to do something wonderful in the new year! Writing the goal and making a plan gives you a head start!
And remember to teach your children to set goals also!

I take stock twice a year; at the New Year and my birthday (in June), then I decide what changes I need to make in my life to accomplish my goals and dreams.

Goals, resolutions never work for me. For me, it's based on negative input - what I don't want. I try to focus on what I do want. My big goal is to make 50 by December 31st!

Definitely goal setting with a plan of action! I am always excited about the New Year and New or Revised Goals! What did I accomplish last year?

Make Resolutions
Margo_Arrowsmith says:
Oh, yes, but I will do them as affirmations, not what I will (or won't) do, but rather what I have done! That works for both goals and resolutions.

Do You Set Goals or Make New Year's Resolutions?

I set goals all the time and I find that it really helps. I agree that it is important to encourage your children to set goals too.

I'm a goal-setting addict, so I don't usually wait for New Year's to make them. (Although I do that too!) If I don't have a goal I'm working towards, I feel a bit lost, actually. Aimless. So I'm definitely favoriting and 5*ing this one. A subject near and dear to my goal-setting, list-making heart.

Another great lens and this is definitely your area of expertise. You have had your family making their New Year's Goals and Resolutions since the children were small.
