Several years ago our pastor had a sermon about making goals for the new year and not just making them and writing them down, but to pray about them daily.  Keep them in your heart, reread them daily or at the least, weekly.  Keeping them in mind by reading them often, praying over them, etc. means that in a year, when you look back at your list, you will have accomplished alot more on your list that you ever would have without it!

Here are the items I break my goals into each year, with at least 5 items under each.

Personal:  (myself only)

1.  Take more time for myself

2.  Plan for emergencies

3.  Learn to crochet

4.  Pamper myself weekly

5.  Get healthy!

Physical:

1. Eat more healthy

2. Loose more weight

3.  Goal weight of 130-140

4. Weigh a size 8-9

5. Do more sit ups! 

Financially:

1.  Sell extra car and other things

2.  Put more money into savings

3.  Redo budgets and monthly funds (for Christmas, taxes, etc)

4.  Find more ways to save and make money

Spiritually

1.  Do my daily devotions again

2.  Pray with my husband daily

3.  Read and study the Bible more every day

4.  Attend church and Bible Study more regularly

5.  Keep my rpayer journal

Relatiionships (Family and Friends)

3.  Focus on quality time and not quantity

4.  Keep in touch with new and old friends
