New Year's Resolutions

Setting balanced resolutions

Each New Year, we think about resolutions. It's easy to set similar goals and let other areas of our lives slide. One year I might set all spiritual goals; another all intellectual.

This handout will help you balance your goals. In the circles for each area of your life, fill in as many rings as correspond to your progress in that area. So if you're a bodybuilder, physical might have all the rings filled in; if you're a university professor, all the intellectual rings will be filled in.

Once you have taken the time to look over your life in this way, you will be in a better position to set challenging goals that will strengthen you. Use the horizontal lines to jot down some goals for the different areas of your life.
