The best goal-setting advice I ever received (and still use)
The best goal-setting advice I ever received (and still use)
Mid-January already—that was fast. This new year has brought its share of challenges, especially with the fires in California. My heart goes out to everyone whose lives have been impacted by this devastation.
My son Sinjin and his young family live near the fire zones, and while they’re safe, my daughter-in-law still needs to make regular trips toward those areas for her check-ins at the City of Hope. Thank you to those who’ve asked about her—I’m happy to share that she’s doing very well, and we’re incredibly grateful for that!
As I think about the year ahead, I’m reminded of some of the best, yet simple advice I’ve ever received: put YOUR time off on the blank calendar first. Whether it’s vacations, weekend getaways, or even a simple day to yourself, if you don’t plan it, it’s too easy to let life fill every available space. Which is what happened to me for many years, and why I love this “no duh” advice so much!
Here are two additional ideas you might not have considered for your goals list this year:
1. Get curious about something new.
Pick one new thing to try—not because you need to be good at it, but because it sparks your interest.
Whether it’s learning to make sourdough bread, painting, photography, learning a new language, or even stargazing, curiosity keeps life vibrant and exciting.
This past year I’ve been taking an AI art class that I’m loving!
Way outside my usual wheelhouse? Yes!
Enjoying the learning curve? Absolutely!
What’s something you’ve always wanted to try, just for the joy of it?
Give yourself permission to dive in and learn as you go.
2. Energy alignment as a habit.
Make space for regular check-ins with your mind, body, and spirit.
This could mean practicing mindfulness, journaling, or even booking a session with me to start the year with clarity and purpose.
I still have a few session spots available in January for personal SimplyAlign energy sessions via phone or Zoom.
