Reset-

Goals vs. Resolutions

Resolutions are “resolve to change, or resolve not to, or resolve to do something different than done before etc.”

I’m not much for resolutions and here’s why:

1. I tend to forget what I’m resolving not to do.
2. I almost always fail because my “resolve to” things tend to be borderline superfluous, if I’m totally honest.
3. I tended to make the same resolutions year after year.

So instead, I began to set intentional goals like:

My top personal goals for 2025 are:

Limit time on social media

My blogging goal is to create a minimum of 4 posts a month. I’m a writer part of the time in my life, that’s what I do. My blog and writing will always be a priority of mine.

Create a weekly, if not daily, routine of self-care.

Be more intentional with content creation.

We are moving in one year and I have so much to do this year. Instead of getting overwhelmed, I am planning out this year in stages and trying to meet timeline goals for each process. For instance, 23% moved by May, 40% moved by August and so on until all we have to move is our most needed and valuable items.

Make rest a priority. Take time to enjoy life. Create intentional moments/memories. Invest in self and self-care. Breathe.

Start planning for my retirement years- activities, volunteering, and gardening.

How & Why to Reset

Pretend in your mind to clear the counter.  You know 0:00. It’s your second, third, fourth etc. chance to get things in order!

I think it’s better than resolutions that you just give up on if you falter and goals you may set that you are unable to achieve because

the timelines are not realistic. To reset is to refresh, move forward, and begin again.

Reset– observe, redo, start-over and reset

1. reset your obligations–prioritize responsibilities
2. reset diet, eating, meal-times
3. exercise routine
4. daily routine
5. weekend routine
6. quiet time–me time, self care
7. family time
8. events
9. schedule
10. hobbies–pick and choose old and new

Now that 2024 has come to an end, I am looking forward to implementing all my plans and goals for the new year.

Until next time, be well and take care.
