The True Me: A New Approach to Goal Setting

80% That's the percentage of New Year's resolutions that don't make it past the first week of February. 80%. It seems a little discouraging, doesn't it? Only one in five of our New Year's goals lasts a full 40 days. Before you give up completely, though, let me recommend a new approach, something that can help you set goals and stick with them. Last year I realized I was weary of making the same old resolutions. Of course I want to be skinnier, healthier, better in every way. But what if I set a goal that life makes impossible? Or what if achieving my New Year's resolutions gets in the way of other things that are actually more important to me? Do I label myself a failure if I let go of a goal I made in January in order to pursue something else in May? In The True Me, we will take a look at a new perspective on goal setting. We will take the focus off of the what and instead look at the who. Who are you really? How do you want to be known? And then we can look at what you can accomplish this year to help you grow as that person. I hope the concepts in this book will be as helpful to you as they have been to me--whether in January, April, or even December!
