Each January, roughly one in three Americans resolve to better themselves in some way. However, most New Year’s resolutions, no matter how well-intended, are doomed to fail. Why? They are incongruent with our dreams and values—–according to Glenna Salsbury, author of The Art of the Fresh Start. So before you quickly commit to your resolutions, think through your dreams and values. What do you envision a year from now and what values are important to you? Strategies and resources are also important. For every goal that you want to achieve, you need support and resources to make it happen. There is still time to list your goals! Why wait longer? Starting this weekend, block yourself 2 hours of uninterrupted time in a quiet but relaxing place. Write down your dreams and values. Then list specific goals and objectives. Then come up with different resources and support systems that need to take place in order for you to make positive changes in life!
