Goals Aren't Accomplished Overnight

How do you accomplish goals? By constantly thinking about them, re-adjusting where needed and working toward them. So, even though it's the second week of February, here are the ways I'm going to focus on and work toward my 2016 goals:

Be Charitable: I've really enjoyed being more involved in my ward and callings, but I feel like I'm just barely chipping the surface. So for February, I'm going to keep the same focus as January. I've already seen that as I do this, I find more people who need to talk, need help or I've felt more inclined to offer help where I may not have done so before.

Be Healthy: I'm back to working out at least 3x a week. My goal is to get up to at least 5x a week, but for this month, my goal is to two-fold: get at least 8 hours of sleep at night and wake up by 5am. I know this will be a process. But, I know that I'm happiest and most productive when my I'm sleeping well. It all starts with going to bed early!

Be Disciplined: Last month, it was make and stick to a budget. I made my budget and I did fairly well, but could still be better. My goal this month (and probably for a few months) is to not go over my budget AT ALL. I think I really need to do this at least 3 months in a row to make a habit of it.

Be Positive/Grateful: I've really like the Thankful Thursdays I've been doing. It makes me think long and hard about meaningful things that I'm thankful for. The things top of mind aren't always meaningful, but I manage to find things that truly do matter. I'm going to continue doing Thankful Thursday but I'm also going to make a more concentrated effort to tell people how much I appreciate them and what they do. Everyone likes to know they're appreciated.
