Happy New Year!!
I love starting a new year.. It's a time to reflect on the old year and look
forward to the next. It's a time for me to set goals for the year, for myself,
my family.. hubby and I set goals as a couple.
What I do not do is make resolutions. Is there a difference between goals and resolutions? .. in my mind I felt like there was so I looked up the words to find their meanings..
Goal: the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result.
Resolution: a firm decision to do or not to do something.
I see them as very different. When I set a goal.. it is something I can work towards every day. If I resolve to do something, and then I fail, it causes discouragement and I'm likely to give up on whatever it was.
An example: I made a goal last year to drink less coffee. My goal was one cup a day. Of course through the year there have been times that I had two cups or even three. Then I'd correct myself and go back to one cup a day. For health rea…
