How To Make and Keep Your New Year Goals

in Just Yolo on 01/01/20

Sharing is caring!

Happy New Year! Hello, 2020!

A lot of people like to make new year resolutions/goals and by March they’ve already failed with some of those goals. Take for instance exercise. I guarantee you that your local gym will be packed in January and by mid-February/March, the crowd will be thinning out. Don’t be one of those folks.

Here are a few tips on how to make and keep your 2020 goals:

Make Realistic Goals

This one is simple right? Don’t say you’re going to become vegan in one month when you eat meat every day for every meal. Start small by adding one vegan meal to your menu weekly then increase vegan meals as time goes on until all of your meals are vegan. Realistic!

Don’t Make A Lot of Goals

You don’t need to make a list of 20 goals. You’re going to look at the list, feel overwhelmed and then give up. Bigger isn’t always better.

Include Family and Friends

Making goals with your family and/or friends can be fun. It will give you an accountability partner and you’ll be motivated to complete that goal.

I’ve made a few goals for myself(family) this year.

  • Stop using paper towels as a family. We’re down to two rolls. The pack from Sam’s Club has lasted for 6 months. We already have been using a Norwex Body Cloth as a napkin for meals for years so I think going without paper towels is doable.
  • Continue our minimalist journey. When we moved to Colorado in June, I started this process. Our kitchen, living room and bathrooms are minimalized. Still a work in progress with other areas.
  • Make a blog schedule and stick to it. This has always been hard for me, the sticking to it part. I’ve made the schedule already though!
  • Exercise twice a week. I’m being realistic here because I prefer to exercise outside. With the Colorado weather, I can’t always do that. I’m not counting the weekend because I exercise pretty much every weekend with us being out with the kids doing something.

What are some of your goals for 2020? Do you find it hard to keep your goals? Leave a comment below. I would love to hear. Go into this year knowing that, Everything will be JUST fine!

Fall Break was fun! Pictures never do justice to t Fall Break was fun! Pictures never do justice to the views here in Colorado. It’s beautiful here!

I didn’t get pics of everything b/c I was enjoying the moment. We hiked at Chatfield State Park (beautiful Fall colors) and Rocky Mountain National Park to see Lake Haiyaha (Gorgeous lake. Saw some BIG wildlife on the drive.) We did a bike ride through Waterton Canyon (12 miles total). We played disc golf. We relaxed at home. We enjoyed Fall Break!

Time to get back to our routine. Back to school.

We’ll have more adventures this weekend I’m sure! The benefits of living in Colorful Colorado. Always something fun to do!

Hope you had a LOVELY day! 💙 I was surprised b Hope you had a LOVELY day! 💙

I was surprised by how my afternoon went. My husband surprised me & the kids with surprises that I would have done. I’m the one big on surprises. My husband, not so much. 

From surprise balloons & gifts in the vehicle when we were leaving school to balloons throughout the apartment and flowers along with a sweet card for the each of us. 💞

The kids were SOOOO excited & it made me smile. 🥰

🎶What a mighty good man!🎶

Tomorrow’s dinner done! ✔️ Vegan chicken fr Tomorrow’s dinner done! ✔️

Vegan chicken fried rice.

Stay at home mom now elementary technology teacher. Yep, I’m a working girl. lol My first time back to work since my kids have been born. 9 years.

Going back to work has been an adjustment. We’ve found our new routine! I find that doing things at night or early in the morning is helping me stay sane. I want the house & all the things I did as a sahm to keep getting done. Not realistic. I lived & learned.

I get things done but some days after school, getting the kid’s homework done, cooking dinner, getting the kids to bed, I GO TO BED! I gotta take care of me so I can take care of them.

What are some of your tricks/habits that you do to keep your household running smoothly & your sanity? 😊
