Goals: You Should Have Some
Goals call us to take action. They give us a reason to invest our time and energy in specific activities and behaviors for specific results. Simply put, goals motivate us to achieve something. Without goals, our energy remains unfocused and can bring random results. That is why sitting down at least annually to take a look at the areas of your life that you want to change can help you stay focused on your goals. Map out your goals and intentions for the coming year. Consider what would have the greatest positive impact on your health.
