How to Make Goals and Get them Done- Plus, My 2015 Goals!

by Jenni in


Happy New Year! This year I plan on having the happiest, healthiest, and most productive year yet. My year is going to be filled with self improvement, kindness, peace, and love. It will not be filled with stress, worry, or strife. That is what I have decided and what I am going to be all about!

It may sound hippie or weird, but last year I planned what my year would look like at the end, and it honestly turned out better than I could have thought. This year, I am doing the same. For my New Year's Resolution post, I talked all about what I will be doing this year and what those all-important goals are. Well, something else I have learned from family, friends, and a few fantastic reads is that writing our goals down once is simply not enough. If we truly want our life to change and our goals to be achieved, we have to write them down and read them often. Keeping goals at the forefront of our mind helps us to unconsciously shape or move our lives towards that outcome. Crazy, right?! 

For this reason I have typed down and printed up my goals so I can read them morning and night and make. things. happen. Sure, writing them down with your own font/handwriting is better, but my hand cramps after writing one sentence, making my writing is almost illegible. Can we say child of the computer generation? Yes, yes we can.

There are 15 goals on this list which is more than the recommended 10 and I am still working on shortening the writing, but here they are as is. They all relate to those New Year's resolutions but in a much shorter, concise, and easy to read way. They are also in no order of importance since I think every one is just as important as the next0 thus the hardship in widdling them down from fifteen to ten.

Oh, two more things before we get to the reading. Writing your goals as though they have already happened helps trick the mind into believing (and thus living) like they already have. Next, just like in past goal posts, I have taken out things that have no relation to the average reader (i.e. business and the super personal things).

Now, for those goals! . What are your 2015 goals and do you plan on reading them often?

  2. I have great time management and, because of that, am able to accomplish all I have set out in the day without stress or worry.
