Almost 90% of resolutions fail by the end of January! So why are we making them?

They don’t work… just stop! Our mission today is to help you set achievable goals because where a resolution is just a statement, a goal has a destination.

Example

Resolution: “I will lose 20 lbs by Dec 25.” Fine, but that’s just a statement… how are you going to get there?

Goal: “I will work out everyday, 5 days a week.” Now that’s something I can do!

Among the top most 10-15 new years resolutions are always things like “lose weight, get healthy, save money, get organized, spend more time with the family,” etc… We say them every single year, but we don’t DO them!!!

If we want lasting change we need to make some changes to traditional resolutions.

A good goal has to have 3 things:

1. Achievable (within reason)

2. Measureable, able to track

3. 100% under your control! The actions that lead to better result! This one is the missing link. This is you controlling your behaviors, not your bank account, hair growth, or the scale.

Heather’s tips for successful Goals:

1. Write it down! It boosts your success by 42%!

2. Find an accountability partner – increases your odds by another 19%

3. Check in with your partner weekly – you gain another 5%!

Again, 100% under your control… When it comes to your home, everything depends on YOU!

Ashley’s tips for success in the home:

1. know what you want out of your space. See what the possibilities are instead of what you have in front of you, stick to it until you find exactly what you want.

2. YOU are the MAGIC in your own space. YOU have to decide what you want and ACT accordingly. Once you know how you’re going to act, then you can employ the use of “Stuff” to get you to where you want to go. Then what you buy/keep is done with intention and you can keep it under control.

HOMEWORK
