As I mentioned Thursday, I’m not much of a resolution person. This is not because I’m lazy or lacking in ambition, not because I’m already absolutely perfect and don’t need to make any changes. It’s because resolutions don’t work.
What does work? Goals. I’m going to talk about goals for the entire month of January because there’s a lot to talk about!
Today I’ll talk about the difference between a goal and a resolution.
A resolution is a general statement about what we’d like to be or do. We say we’d like to be thinner or richer or nicer or cuter or the like. Sometimes we even get a bit specific—we want to lose the traditional ten pounds or something.
Goals, on the other hand, get real. We take that desired ten pounds of weight loss and we add some strategy and tactics to it. We think about what actually has to change to get us from here to there.
Need help? You know how to find me.
