I’ve been setting goals for the past few years, but this year I decided to go about it the same & also differently. I’ve always chosen goals in a handful of different categories — not to overwhelm, but to keep focus on all areas of life. I choose the following 6 categories to set goals/intentions in —
- Spiritual
- Relational
- Financial
- Physical
- Mental
- Social
I also like to pick a word to focus on each year. This year, my word is PRESENT. I want to be present in the life of my family & my son. I want to watch him grow and see the things that light him up. I want to watch them happen in person, not through a phone screen.
As you set goals/intentions this year, choose actionable ones. Choose ones that you can break down into daily/weekly/monthly tasks to see how close you are getting to completing them. Choose ones that you want to pursue & start with a baby step to get there.
Here are some examples for each category from my goals for the year:
- Spiritual – pray with Josh before bed each night for each other & for Ryder
- Relational – take Ryder on a trip to meet all extended family
- Financial – save for downpayment on home on land
- Physical – 3 servings of protein & 3 servings of greens a day
- Mental – 1 PD book a month
- Social – 1 reel with 1 million views (this is a lofty one, but I’ve gotten to 750k+ before)
How do you set goals for the new year? I’d love to hear some of yours!
XO,
Hil
