Little Resolutions

I mentioned it briefly, but this year I decided to create small, monthly goals for myself instead of huge resolutions for the year. Inspired by Erin's post, I thought it'd be nice to create a board to help me visualize these goals. I plan to print it out and put it on my fridge as a daily reminder. What are some of your goals for 2012?

JAN Juice and exercise each dayFEB Read 4 booksMAR Make a beautiful bouquetAPR Do something crazy I've never done (before my 25th birthday)MAY Make something with my hands / JUN Go to the zoo with friendsJUL Spend more time outdoorsAUG Plan weekly dates with the hubs for the monthSEP Do something kind for a strangerOCT Carve a pumpkin and go to a haunted houseNOV Say something I'm grateful for aloud each dayDEC Make bread from scratch

I love this post almost as much as I love you. What a great way to keep yourself accountable and see the beauty in creating these goals in the first place.

that's a really good idea! I may have to do the same thing. Resolutions usually set me up for failure (so I didn't make any this year) but breaking it down monthly seems very manageable!

Lovely resolutions, Elise, and all worth repeating the following year as well! I think I may just try a similar system this year. It actually seems achievable unlike so many resolutions from years past.

Hey thanks for the link! I love your blog, it is so beautiful. I think monthly goals is a good way to break it up. Perhaps I will make another board? Yes.
