It is very common for people to make a new year’s resolution or two. I on the other set a goal for the year and break it into 11 pieces. So I closer to the end goal to happen in December each month.

This year, my goal is to try to lose 2 pounds every month. I am a short woman at 5 feet 3 inches tall, having degenerative disc disease, arthritis, and fibromyalgia weighing 171 pounds makes my pain a lot worse. So, losing between 20 and 24 pounds will help with my physical problems a whole lot.

As i have asthma and quite a few environmental allergies, which effect my breathing. My other goal, which may make my first goal a little harder at the beginning of the year, is to stop smoking cigarettes and getting my regular vape oil down to 0% nicotine. I have not quite figured out the monthly steps for this goal yet, but when I do, I will share them.

Using the term “goal ” is a more positive word, and breaking down a big goal into smaller parts makes it easier to meet. Rather than a resolution that reminds me of a law that should not be broken. Therefore, by not keeping a resolution I am breaking a law with myself. So, to me, the word resolution is a very negative one.

Any thoughts on a goal you might like to set for yourself for 2023? If I can help you with it, just let me know.
