You’ve heard it before: New year, new you – but how many times have you broken the promises you made to yourself? Our short list of steps can help you follow through this new year.
1. Find Your Why
Your “why” should motivate you when nothing else can. It should inspire you to make the changes you want in your life.
2. Focus On What’s Important
Take a minute and write down the specific areas of your life you’d like to improve. Come up with your top 10 areas to focus on this year, or try creating a vision board!

3. Choose One Goal (Or Habit) A Month
Don’t bite off more than you can chew. It takes time to reach your goals and create new habits. Choose one a month and make it happen.
4. Create A Bucket List
You see other people traveling to beautiful destinations and doing fun things with their friends and families, but you never seem to have the time or money to do any of those things. Write (or find) your bucket list and try to make two (or more) of the items on your list happen this year.
5. Monthly Review
Are your new habits sticking? Are you focusing on what’s important? Will you be able to cross any items off your bucket list? Be sure to keep track of your progress on paper, in a journal, or on your smartphone.
