Everyone makes goals for themselves, especially for the new year. We pretty much make the same goals every year and we pretty much break all of those goals within the first month of the new year! So here's some goals I'll bet you'll break, if you don't please let me know how!!
1. I will eat better!
You do really well for about a week then chik-fil-a starts calling your name or those candy bars at the gas station literally jump off the shelves into your hands! But hey every one deserves a cheat day... every day of the week...
2. I will go to the gym every day
Let's get a gym buddy and take some classes at the Y, but then you get tired and going to the gym starts to actually become more of a hassle rather than a confidence boost.
3. Save money
So you either got some cash in your stocking or you racked up on gift cards, either way you're determined to put in the savings account and try to build up for something big. But you start returning gifts or exchanging sizes and Nordstrom Rack just starts calling your name. Then poof 2 hours and $500 later you're broke.
4. Lose that holiday weight
This one ties into the eating healthy and going to the gym thing. Yeah we can all diet and workout but you never feel like you're accomplishing anything if you don't see it on the scale, even though you totally are!
5. Wake up early
Usually you want to make the goal of waking up early so you can have your breakfast smoothie and go for a run to start your day off! Too bad waking up early actually sucks. No like really it's awful and it's realistically one of my hardest goals to accomplish each year!
6. Watch less TV
I'm not even going to try to talk people out of this one. I am a TV enthusiast and support rotting your brain out by watching mindless TV!
7. Plan more
This is an act that can probably last for about 3 weeks if you can really keep up with it. If you're anything like me it will last a day and then you'll forget you even own a planner.
8. Spend more time with family
So maybe you realized over the holidays that you literally never see these people you call aunt or uncle or even mom and dad. But this year you'll try harder to spend time with them. I really do hope that everyone who has this goal achieves it! However, sometimes you get busy and realize it's been 6 months since you've seen them. Keep trying though!
9. Find a better job
Whether you like your job now or don't most people are set out on January 1st to find a job that pays better or has more vacation days, but then December 31st comes around and you're still in the same job you've been in. Get out there and do it this year!
10. Chase your dreams
This is something I feel like a lot of people set out to do at the first of year and then 6 months down the road they never speak of it again...
