Many of us are and resolutions can be hard to stick to. Is there something you\u2019ve struggled with the last year? Do you want to lose weight and exercise more? Budgeting and Saving money tend to be on a lot of people\u2019s lists. Do you want to read more? Or spend more time with your family? While the list could be enormous, pick just a few that really resonate with your soul and make a plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love the New Year. It\u2019s a great time to re-focus and re-invent yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do it the SMART way. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years back I attended a seminar for work and one of the topics was goal setting and using the SMART way. It stands for S-Specific, M-Measurable, A-Achievable, R-Realistic, and T-Time Frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make the goals <strong>specific<\/strong>.\n&nbsp;Put a plan in action. &nbsp;For example, \u201cI will save $20 a week by eating\nout less\u201d instead of \u201cI will save more money\u201d. This goal has a specific amount and\na plan of how to accomplish it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Money.png?resize=410%2C310&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"budgeting and saving money\" class=\"wp-image-1019\" width=\"410\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Money.png?w=926&amp;ssl=1 926w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Money.png?resize=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Money.png?resize=768%2C583&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goals should be <strong>measurable <\/strong>\u201cI will spend 15 minutes a day reading with my children\u201d instead of \u201cI will read more with my kids.\u201d This has a measurable time limit each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make the goal <strong>achievable<\/strong>.\nI will lose 30 lbs. this year. Although specific and measurable, is this achievable?\nWithout a good plan in place and a support system, you are probably setting\nyourself up for failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal should be <strong>realistic<\/strong>.\nIf you want to run a marathon, but haven\u2019t been running, a great option is to\nstart with a 5K and build from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, set a <strong>time frame<\/strong>. This will give you something to work towards. If you decide you want to start exercising but haven\u2019t done anything in years. Start with, &#8220;I will walk 15 minutes a day on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday for this first six weeks&#8221;. Then after that time frame, update the goal. Add an additional 5 minutes. Then after that, re-evaluate. How are you doing with your goal? Can you add another day? Or more time? Or both? Maybe you&#8217;re ready for a more intense form of exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So how do you get started on your resolutions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/img_3950-833x1024.jpg?resize=427%2C521&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"resolutions\" class=\"wp-image-748\" width=\"427\" height=\"521\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Start with a positive approach. For example, instead of \u201cI will not eat chocolate\u201d change to \u201cI will eat fruit for dessert 4 times a week\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make a list and then ask how and when. Review the steps\nabove. Each goal may need to be broken down into smaller ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, get a support system and involve your family. As you start achieving your goals and bettering yourself, some people may try to sabotage you. Unfortunately, it could be the people closest to you. Just be mindful of this. It&#8217;s possible that they may feel threatened. When losing weight, I joined a Facebook group and found support that way. This year when I started my blog, I joined a blogging group. I&#8217;m amazed at how supportive these people are and I haven\u2019t even met them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most importantly, make sure you write your goals down and put them somewhere you can see them. There is truth to the phrase \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I\u2019m a visual person, I love the idea of a Vision Board. My friend Erica  <a href=\"https:\/\/thepreppingwife.com\/\">The Prepping Wife<\/a> has a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepreppingwife.com\/vision-board\/\">blog pos<\/a>t on creating a vision board. Be sure and check it out. Additionally, there are also a number of posts on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/chickychickchick\/inspiration\/\">Pinterest<\/a> and I also found a workshop in my area that I\u2019m thinking of attending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Once you have your\ngoals set, Celebrate along the way! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years ago, I needed to lose weight. Once I hit a certain milestone, I rewarded myself. Since I was on a weight loss journey, dinner out or a new outfit wasn\u2019t a good option. Instead, I got a pedicure or purchased a new pair of shoes. For me, rewards are important. They help keep me motivated. Figure out something to reward yourself with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So today, I\u2019m going to spend the day in my pj&#8217;s and reflect on what goals I want to set for next year. Last year, I started on a quest to live a simple life. We will continue with this but I feel I want to do something more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/porch.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"simple life resolutions\" class=\"wp-image-999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/porch.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/porch.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are your goals?

Above all, I\u2019m ready to let go of the past and look forward to the future. Take this time for yourself! Figure out what you want <em>for yourself<\/em> and put your plan in place. The ultimate goal is to turn your resolutions into habits.
