Goals for the new year

[Li****]

It's a new year, and it's a great moment to reflect over the challenging year that has passed, but also to think ahead of the year in front of us. What changes do I want to make? What do I want to do more, or do less? How can I keep working on becoming a better version of myself? 

Last year someone told me to write down a list of New Years Goals, instead of the typical New Years Resolutions, as the word 'goal' is more positive than 'resolution'. They had read that it's easier to get inspired by having goals set, and that it is easy to feel discouraged because you might feel that you break a resolution.

This year I think I'll do the same thing. Whether it's something like a smaller task (like clean out my closet and donate clothes I don't use anymore) or a more profound life style change, I encourage you to write it down in a list. You can also make it more specific, like to have something done by a certain month, or to do something a certain number of times /week and so on. 

Do you have any goals for the new year? Let's share them here and inspire each other! ???

What a great idea! I hardly ever make resolutions, mostly because I don't stick to them! But setting small goals is a much better way to go about it. I think that way it's also maybe even more achievable. At least for me ☺️

Tough year 2019, being in a coma, medical professionals advising my family that I was not going to wake, well 4 months later I did, then the process of having to be rehabilitated it was so tough.

Am on my journey now back to embracing life, ditching the negative people around me.

This whole experience, change my dynamics of life, so 2020 has to be the year of new friends, new travel and new experiences ❤

[Je****]

For 2020, my intention is for unconditional love, healing, strength, open heart for new experiences, and decluttering and organizing my home. For the past 2 years, my intention has been for healing and strength and many things showed up to put me on this path.

[Ma****]

I would like to practice being more mindful and at peace and connect more with the world and other like minded people xXx

[Ci****]

My goal is to find my calling this year with help from Spirit, to love myself first before I let others in, and to be debt free before my birthday in September. 

[Jo****]

My goals for 2020 are to stop over-thinking, follow my heart and launch my business idea's. I want to live more in the present, spend more time in nature and connect with more like-minded people.

You are very ambitious. The writing system of Mandarin alone is quite a huge task.

2019 was quite challenging. My goals for 2020 are to complete the sale of our Cafe Bar in January and then once the sale has completed to start home schooling my 12 year old son. I want to spend more time at home with my family and live a work, rest and play balanced life doing what I love doing.

I want to love myself the way I am. Something I always tell others and fail by being way to critical with myself.

 

Someone on the happiness team said to me some time ago: "Humans don't need enemies, they have their mind to demoralize themselves." - and it's true, unfortunately. So I'm going to tell my mind more often: "I'm good the way I am. Shut up!"

Brene Brown said "Choose courage over comfort", and that's my new year's resolution. Choose the train when the plane is more comfortable, say sorry when I could play it cool, speak up when I could look away, ... There are so many little (and big) things where we can choose, and so often the "wrong" choice is the easier one.
Another resolution is it not be too hard on me. I try, I fail, I try again. I can skip the self-loathing and judgement.

Oh, and in German, I want to use genderneutral language even when speaking. It's so cool and inclusive to hear people use it so naturally.

Be more positive thinking, try to remind three things my kid doing good every day before fall asleep!!

I normally don`t have a goal for the future, but if it should make some comments on what i would benefit from in 2020 it would be to cultivate Falun gong even more then i do today.

Then also something very important to me is to take care of my soon to be wife, she suffer from psoriasis arthritis, and it have made her body very weak, so she is in a Wheelchair most of the time. 

Other then that i dont cling to wordly Objects anymore, so it me it mostly how to become better as a man, soon to be husband, friend, cultivator and so on

Oh, I am a bit late to this topic but here's what I am working on: Speaking up more! I train with tiny little things. How often did I not clarify my needs "hoping" that it would turn out ok. How often did I stay quiet about a racist remark presented as a joke. I practice and I hope this makes me more fluent. I do not need to respond with anger. A kind remark like "I am not comfortable with this kind of humor" hopefully makes the others think while being nice enough to not make them shut down in defense.

I gave this some thought today. I am quite proud of how my year was in terms of donations, engagement, activism. So I padded myself on the back, smiled, nodded and now I'll continue with the path I am on. It's important to hold myself accountable and I did so in a blog article on accountability and donations.

One o the key points for this year is investigating my real needs and getting comfortable with less of what I do not really need.

A quite hands on goal I'd like to add is knitting more socks ?
