[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 745081, member: 23349"] I think of New Years as an opportunity to reboot my habits. I do set some goals for the year - usually a health goal, a financial goal, and a relationship/happiness goal. And then I define the daily/weekly habits I need to follow to get there. I’m trying out some apps this year for goal setting and habit tracking. Trying Strides, Productive, IGoals, and Goals Wizard. I’ll purchase full edition of whichever one seems to be the most useful for me. I also have a journaling app I use to reflect on each day and set goals for the next day. In general, I find it more helpful for me to focus on habits and actions rather than outcomes. If I set a resolution to lose 30 pounds I get discouraged if I get off track or it’s not happening fast enough. But I can decide to give up sugar, do yoga five days a week, or eat only homemade healthy meals for a month. I can control that. I also have to be careful not to put too much emphasis on the New Years date. I can be all or nothing, which can lead to going totally off the rails if I slip up. That’s why I tend to think of this as a reboot/recalibration rather than ‘a brand new start’. That’s too much pressure. It’s a reboot, and if I need to reboot again in a couple months, I can - I don’t to wait a whole year! [/QUOTE]
