Yearly Goals List

We’re sharing our Yearly Goals List and the action steps we’ll be taking to achieve them. We’re also including a few tools we found on Amazon to help make life easier this year!  

After an incredibly busy holiday season, I found myself excitedly prepping for the New Year.

I had my calendar filled out, fully embraced the Word of the Month, our January meal plan was ready to go and I had started nailing down the best way to tweak our morning routine.

Monday and Tuesday I was on fire (or as on fire as you can be while recovering from cold and flu season).

Each morning I woke up eager to write in my gratitude journal and begin my fitness routine. And every night I was tickled pink to check things off my to-do list.

By Wednesday I was in bed with a raging migraine and I was SO frustrated.

I instantly thought, “Here we go! It hasn’t even been three days into the New Year and I’m already off track!”

But I knew I couldn’t sit in that space very long or it would completely hijack the day.

So, I started listing all the small things that had gone right.

And I gently reminded myself there were still 361 days left in the year.

After resting most of the day, I felt so much better.

Not only because I had given myself grace.

But because I had also actively listened and given my body exactly what it needed.

Embracing a No-Pressure January…

I share this because the minute the clock strikes midnight, we seem to put a lot of pressure on ourselves to start tackling our goals, dreams, resolutions, and intentions immediately.

And while that mindset can be very alluring, it can also bring about complicated feelings if we’re still struggling with holiday fatigue or if things don’t work out as we plan.

So, as you go about your day today, I hope you’ll take time to notice those small tweaks that can help make your life better or easier.

Big goals are great – don’t get me wrong – they’re definitely necessary for growth.

Often though, it’s the tiny steps we take each day that consistently have the most lasting impact on our lives.

Incorporating Our Yearly Goals List Into Our Daily Lives…

While this list might seem extensive, you’ll notice there are only 2 overall goals for the entire year.

• To feel healthy inside and out
• To create simple systems that work.

Most of the action items I’ve listed are things that have already been incorporated into our daily, weekly, and monthly lives which feels like an awesome head start.

We’ve worked hard to develop rituals and routines that work well for our family. We just need to tweak them a bit and make them more consistent.

Especially, during busy seasons which frequently trip us up.

We tend to prioritize other people’s needs over our own. And if I’m being completely honest, it leaves us frazzled, overwhelmed, and sometimes grumpy.

After all, boundaries can be tough sometimes. But they are necessary components for growth and change. 

I know there will be times we take two steps forward and feel like we’re making big progress only to be thrown a life curveball and have to take one step back.

It doesn’t make those two steps forward any less significant though.

For every minute spent developing healthy habits, making little tweaks as needed, and choosing progress over perfection is a step in the right direction.

Never doubt, you are worth the investment.
