Administration New Year’s Resolution or Vision Board?
By: Melanie Martin
What was the fastest time that you broke a new year’s resolution? For me it must have been two days, LOL. Typically, new year’s resolutions center around a goal. Whether it be to quit smoking, lose weight, or make more money. Studies show that you are more likely to create good habits to reach your goal if the habits align with your identity and personal values, to form great habits that will help you achieve your goals, I recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Why not set some realistic goals for 2022 and beyond which will get you closer to your dream? For example, if your dream is to own a home, maybe your vision board for 2022 can include a picture of a house with a target date. If your goal is to lose weight, set a specific realistic goal, like walking for 10 minutes each day. Paste a picture of a person walking for health. Eventually, and before you know it, you’ll be walking twice as long. “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” – Harriet Tubman
Truth be told, new year’s resolutions take so much work and discipline! Instead, why not do a vision board? A vision board is usually a collage of pictures and words that captures your goals and dreams for the future. PAGE 4
