New Year's Resolutions vs. New Year's Goals

For Hennepin County employees

You're more likely to succeed if you make your resolutions your 2012 goals.

Get Started

1. 1. Make your goals specific
      Examples:
      • Set a Quit Date vs “Stop smoking”
      • Lose 20 pounds vs “lose weight”
   2. Make your goals realistic and measurable
      Examples:
      • “My Quit Date is March 1, 2012”
      • "My goal weight is 175 by December 1, 2012”
   3. Reward yourself
      Examples:
      • Share successes with family & friends
      • Celebrate the baby steps along the way
      • Treat yourself healthfully. Try a massage, a new outfit, an afternoon with a good book or a relaxing weekend getaway?
