Researchers say about 60 percent of people make New Year’s resolutions but only about 8 percent are successful in achieving them. We’re here to encourage you by saying this: you don’t have to make New Years resolutions that stress you out. What are you wishing for in 2020? Hear from the Forge community about the goals and resolutions they’ve set for this year.
“My 2020 resolution is to have better ‘digital hygiene’ – I want to get off of my phone and understand why I am picking up my phone each time. If it’s a meaningless pick up, then I don’t need to do it.”
Ryan
“My goal is to read 3 books every month. Each book will have a different topic: 1. Marketing 2. Self-Development 3. Entrepreneur Life”
Jacqui
“I’m doing the Whole 30 diet in January. I hope it’ll help me be more conscious of what I’m eating and focus on reading every food label to see the ingredients.”
Beth
“My New Years resolution is to be able to touch my toes. So I’ll be stretching every day to try and improve my flexibility”
Matthew
“I’m planning to cook through a whole cookbook in 2020. I picked the new Defined Dish cookbook- it’s full of healthy, easy recipes. I love cooking but don’t always feel adventurous with meals cooked at home so I hope this will help me try new things!”
Kelsey
“My New Years resolution is more of a verb that I have for the year: ‘Execute.’ I want to carry out all my goals without finding a reason to wait. The time is now!”
Alex R
“I picked 5 easy things that I can execute every day of this year. One of them is to post from my business Facebook page every day in 2020.”
Stanley
“My goal is to read at least 12 books in 2020!”
Katelyn
“So, I don’t actually make New Year’s Resolutions because I think our culture sets us up for the wrong kinds of resolutions and also sets us up for failure. Instead of resolutions, I create annual goals as goals may not be achieved, but have measurable progress. For example, if my goal is to read 50 books in 2020 and I manage to get in 30, not only did I reach 3/5 of my goal, but I surpassed the 28 books I read in 2019. “
Rebecca
“One of my work-related goals is to loosen my grip on the outcome of work projects and instead focus on doing my best throughout the process, from beginning to finish.”
Kellyn
“I want to continue a healthier eating journey and enjoy the outdoors more.”
