It's That Time Of Year!

What to Think About When Making New Year's Resolutions

When you are making your New Year's Resolutions, you need to make sure that you are thinking about the whole picture. You should not only be focused on what you want to achieve in the next year but also on what you can do to help the world around you. For example, you can think about how you can help your local community and the world at large.

Remind yourself of the bigger picture

When making New Year's resolutions, it is important to focus on the big picture. It is easy to get caught up in the detail of each goal, which can cause you to lose sight of the overall goal. However, by focusing on the bigger picture, you will be more likely to reach your goals. Keeping your “eye on the prize” is a sentiment that captures this; it simply means keeping focused on the end goal for motivation.

One concrete way to help you achieve your goals is to create a list. Pick no more than three. You should then break each goal into smaller, attainable steps. It is also a good idea to create a plan for each goal. This will give you a more clear vision of how you can accomplish each goal. If you are struggling, you can use a friend or family member as a motivator.
