Need some Goal Setting Inspiration?
It’s January. The month of setting resolutions. Or creating a word for the
year. Or drafting an extensive list of goals. Whatever method you choose, there is no denying that most of us take stock in January and try to figure out how to make changes in our lives to improve the areas we feel need improving.
This year, I’m taking my time and really thinking about what I want in 2016 and how I want to feel. Am I creating goals? Of course, but they will be centered around how I want to feel by the end of the year, not what I want to “accomplish.” It’s a slow-going process, so I probably won’t be sharing them until the end of the month.
In the meantime, perhaps you’d like some assistance or a new way of looking at goal creation. I’m sharing my favorite courses, books and online resources for goal creation. Some of the links are affiliates, some aren’t, but ALL of them are something I’ve tried myself and felt was valuable.

- Michael Hyatt is an expert on goal setting – I took his 5-day course “Creating Your Best Year Ever” a few years ago and picked up some tips I still use today. I’m not sure if/when he’s offering this course again, but his website is full of terrific tips on setting and achieving your goals.
- This year, I’m trying something new and going through Danielle LaPorte’s The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul – truth be told I’ve had the book for a few years and decided THIS was the year to attack it. So far, I absolutely LOVE it, LOVE the method, and am excited to see how it pans out. Warning, you can spend hours on her site, so beware . . .

- Perhaps one of your goals is around your family – if so, two resources I think are top-notch are the books The Me, Me, Me Epidemic: A Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Capable, Grateful Kids in an Over-Entitled World (loved this so much after I read it from the library I bought it) and The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts
(loved this so much after I read it from the library I bought it) and
