2017 Goals

I didn't do so well with my personal goal-setting last year, and frankly, it showed. While 2016 was a blessing in many ways, it was also one of my rougher years - professionally and personally. So in an effort to start 2017 off on the right foot, I have put together the following:

Tracie's 2017 Goals

"Be of Good Cheer" by

• Focusing on the Atonement
• Speaking of other people's good qualities - less criticism
• Making time for the Temple
• Doing at least one small act of Service a day
• Writing/Blogging more
• Focusing on next steps, not looking too far ahead.

Maintain My Physical Health by

• Eating only the best foods - mostly vegetarian lifestyle, cook more, eat out less
• Exercising 90 minutes per day - strength training 2 days per week, yoga 1 day per week, walk/run/hike 30 minutes per day (get outside on non-inversion days)
• Maintaining proper sleep habits - try to get 8 hours per night
• Not taking on too much 

Focus on my Studies by

• Study 2 hours per day
• Complete all school assignments on time, and attend or listen to all lectures 
• Avoid distractions - Cancel Sling TV subscription, Cut back on TV (only 2-3 nights per week), limit social media to 1 check in per day

This is of course a very extensive and ambitious list, and it's possible I'm already taking on too many things. But the idea is to do what it takes to maintain my all-around health, develop better habits, and remain focused on the most important things. If I even manage to meet a few of these, I think it will be a good year.
