Have you ever made a goal, maybe to eat healthier or exercise more, only to give up soon after or forget about it entirely?

If so, you are not alone! Keeping any goal is challenging, let alone keeping a new year's goal for the entire year.

Read Dr. Hockstra's 5-step plan to help you accomplish your goals and improve your health in 2024.

1. Write It Down
Writing down your goal causes you to better consider what you are trying to accomplish. This provides an opportunity for you to be specific and intentional.

2. Make Time
Setting aside specific blocks of time in your schedule will help you cultivate new habits. For example, you could plan on waking up an hour earlier to go to the gym before work.

3. Create Reminders
Creating reminders will go a long way in keeping you disciplined when life gets busy. Put your goals on your calendar, set reminders on your phone, or make handwritten notes for your nightstand, mirror, or refrigerator.

4. Find Accountability
Find an accountability partner who will support you in following through on your plan. Ideally, this person will be able to encourage you, and may even join you in accomplishing a shared goal.

5. Reflect
Schedule time every so often to reflect on your successes and failures. This is an opportunity to adjust your plan, illuminate ways that you can improve in the future, and motivate you to continue on.

Have a blessed 2024!
