Setting Goals for 2026
It's that time of year again...Time to set our goals for the New Year!
1. Identify your goals for the New Year.
2. Create action steps for each goal
3. Take action to move forward
4. Evaluate your goals every 3-4 months. If you accomplished a goal. Create a new one.
If you didn't accomplish a goal - why? what could you do differently? What's not working?
Do you need to change your goal? Did you find out the goal wasn't sustainable or realistic?
Is the time frame realistic?
Identify your goals for each area. Only 1 or 2 goals for each area. If you have too many goals, you will feel overwhelmed which can lead to procrastination.
1. Career/Volunteer
2. Health
3. Religion/Spirituality
4. Family
5. Socialization/Friendships/Community
6. Financial
7. Time Management
After you set your goals and action steps for each area ask yourself:
1. What abilities or skills do I need to achieve the goal?
2. If you don't have those skills or abilities - will you hire someone who does? Or learn those skills through classes, mentors, certificate programs, etc.?
3. How can you maximize your chances of accomplishing your goals? Do you need a coach as a partner? Do you have a friend you can work with? Make sure you have a support system.
4. What obstacles are you encountering? not enough support? toxic people? your limiting belief system?
4. Review your goals often to make sure you're heading in the right direction. Tweak your goals if needed.
