61 New Year’s Goals to Improve Your Life
Having trouble setting your New Year’s Goals this year? Have you set New Year’s goals in the past and didn’t meet them or gave up before you even got started? Don’t feel bad or beat yourself up for it, we all probably have done that at one time, or two! Well, here’s a list of good New Year’s goals to help get your wheels turning. Read over the list, think about the areas in your life that need improving, then set two or three of your own goals that will improve your life in business or personally. I recommend only two or three because if you set too many life changing goals at once, it may be too difficult to follow through with them, then you will feel defeated instead of victorious. On that note, here’s the list!
1. Lose weight
2. Stop smoking
3. Eat healthier

There you have it! Hopefully this will get you thinking about some areas in your life that you would like or need to improve upon. There is no better time than now to start! Remember, a goal worth setting is a goal worth putting forth the effort needed to reach it. “If you shoot for the stars and miss, at least you’ll have the moon” is one of my favorite quotes. Set your goals and do everything in your power to reach them and I guarantee you will see improvements in your life! Do a self check at least once every 3 months to see if you’re on track to meeting your goals. If you aren’t or haven’t even started, remember it’s never too late to start!

Wow, that’s quite a comprehensive list. I’m sure anybody will find at least one that is relevant to them. I know I’ve found a few, so I’ll need to trim my own list of resolutions. What I like about this list is that it covers various areas of a Mom’s life, from physical to financial to spiritual, etc.
