Personal Areas to Focus your Goals

New Year’s Resolutions is what we like to call it. But whatever what you choose to call them, this is simply a time when you reassess the past year and set goals for the coming year.
Most people tend to focus their goals in just one or two areas, like losing weight (physical) or getting out of debt (financial). But there are actually seven areas in which you can, and should, set goals and resolutions.
Let’s walk through them.

• Intellectual: Goals in this area might include reading more books or going back to school to get an MBA.

*My Goal is to read 10 books this year. The reason I didn't choose 30 or 40 books like some is because I barely completed 1 book I have been reading since 2014. So you have to be realistic with yourself and start small and work your way up. If you set your goal to read 10 books and you finish before the year is out congrats to you. Don't stop but keep reading more! If you only make it to 6 books and you really put forth effort Great Job! It is more than you read the year before right! But You must Read!

• Physical: This one’s pretty obvious. You may be wanting to lose weight, go on a diet, spend more time at the gym, etc.

*My goal is to work out every day for 30min for 90 days. Today I worked out, in my living room, with my mommy! For 20 min! Hey it's a start!

• Spiritual: This may mean spending more time in the Bible or getting more plugged in at church.

*I wrote out prayers about faith, my husband, me being a wife, my careers, my kids, etc.

• Family: Maybe you want to start going on a monthly date night or taking the kids out once a week.

*Every Thursday is Family Night!

• Social: Goals in the social category might include putting yourself out there a little more—saying yes to more party invites, or maybe occasionally saying no!

*I will continue to build my non profit organization Young Bosses United (YBU) by working in the community.

• Career: Is it time for a career change? Or maybe it’s time to start your career. You might also want to set a goal to finally get that promotion or a well-deserved raise.

*I will apply to go to school in Greensboro to get my Masters to be  a Probation/Parole Officer, OB/GYN, or Social Worker.

• Financially: Get your behind out debt! Making a habit of budgeting, and setting money goals for your future. Matter of fact 2016! Lets make it a little more Simple. how much will you save in 3 months!

*The minimum I will save is $300 by March! My debt that rolled over from 2015 will be paid of by June! Or like the past 2 years I gave myself to the end of the year. Of course, I am not including my school loans to be cleared.

Here’s the truth about these seven areas. You won’t naturally feel like setting goals in all of them. Some will be easy. Other will be hard.
I don’t have any problem with setting family, social and career goals. But intellectual goals? That’s a different story.

I try my best to read business and leadership books, but I also love relationship books!
Keep all of this in mind as you make your 2016 goals. Pay attention to these seven areas, and remember that it won’t always be easy! But if you make it a priority, you can accomplish what you aim for in the next year.
