Monthly Theme For the Year

​

Often times we set goals or resolutions at the beginning of the year.  Most times, we forget about them after a few months. Here is a way that allows you to focus on your goals for the year.  

Set a monthly theme for you goal.  That way, you only focus on a single goal or theme for 1 month at a time.  1 month is easier to maintain than 1 year. Also, you can keep something up for 30 days but it’s much harder to do it for 365 days.

My theme for the next 5 months is to focus on connection.  I’ve further broken my theme down into 5 areas to focus on for each of the next 5 months.  

Month 1- connection with myself- since the birth of my child, I’ve neglected certain areas of my life.  In this month, I look to add back into my life regular exercise, journaling and meditation. I will also give myself grace by not mandating that I do something religiously or like I did before, recognising that I have new priorities in my life that require my time.  Instead of working out 5-6 times a week like before, I will try for once every 2 weeks. During this month, my question that I ask myself will be: is this task (i.e. watching tv, going on social media, etc) bringing me closer to my goal this month?

Month 2- connection with my significant other- it is very important for me to keep our relationship strong.  It’s also been harder to find time for ourselves taking care of a baby. This is why I want to make special efforts in making my significant other a priority.  We’ll try for date nights or to cook together and have quality family time. My question this month will be: is what I am currently doing, going to bring me more connection with my significant other or my family?

Month 3- connection with my child- it is important to me to foster a great connection with my baby.  When we’re together or as a family, I want to focus on being present when we play or learn. I will enjoy our moments together and get to know this amazing little human.  My question will be: am I being fully present to connect with my child?

Month 4- connection with family and friends- these relationships are very important to me and are part of my village.  I want to foster these connections.

Month 5- connection with my business- I love what I do and I am very fortunate to have amazing patients.  I love connecting with them and watching their lives change for the better.
