There's no telling what will happen when you act upon them.” ~ Jim Rohn Difference between a resolution and a life goal.A New Year's resolution is a tradition where we resolve to change an undesired trait or behaviour, to improve our life or accomplish a personal goal. It is a promise to our self.Most of us will make a New Years resolution of some sort, most likely around our health. Most of us will decide it is important to exercise more regularly. New Years resolutions have a bad reputation. Why? Because most of us don't follow through with them for more than a week or two. A Life Goal by contrast is a long term commitment to complete. It is specific, measurable, actionable, relevant and time bound (SMART). Both are good! Focus on your Life Goals (long term) and use your New Years resolutions (short term) to help you en route to achieving your goals.
Health and exercise in 2020!If you are like most people, you will be thinking of a New Years resolution around improving your health and most likely dropping some weight.Achieving your best health in 2020 is an admirable resolution. Amongst the 10 life categories, health and fitness rates near the very top. Out of all the 10 goal areas, setting healthy life goals and achieving good health and fitness are some of the most important things we can hope to accomplish and maintain throughout our life. A healthy body and a healthy mind is the starting point for everything we do. Ask someone who is in poor health what they desire, and they will respond that getting back their good health is at the top of their list. Often people have regrets about not taking better care of themselves. It is my belief that we need to consciously focus on setting goals, work diligently every day to maximize our potential, and work to improve our health, such that we are in our optimum state each and every day. The following healthy life goals in this important area are designed to help you get healthy and fit, and have some fun too: 11 - Eat Healthy 12 - Maintain ideal body weight 13 - Be aerobically fit 14 - Be strong - lift weights Visit https://www.100goalsclub.com/life-goals-health-and-fitness.html to explore all the life goal ideas on how to set life goals (building on your New Years Resolutions) in these areas.

How to keep your New Years ResolutionDON'T BREAK THE CHAIN . . . A simple tip that works . . .Keep a daily journal every time you complete a task associated with your New Years resolution. If it is related to exercise for example, write down a log: Wednesday January 1: 20 minutes aerobics - complete Thursday January 2: 30 minute walk - complete Friday January 3: 100 pushups - complete . . . keep recording this every day and try not to "break the chain" Saturday February 1st: 20 minutes aerobics complete Once you start you log and take pride in completing it, you will seriously think twice about "breaking the chain" of logging all the good things you've been doing towards accomplishing your New Years resolution! Try it and see if you can't keep this going all year long. Instead of a log, this could be entries in your smart phone, an "app" which you've downloaded, a white board in your house or simply a piece of paper that you track on.
