Summary: Welcome to the New Year friends! This is the time we feel this resolution to make things new, as we flip over the calendar. There is a lot of thought given to resolutions, goals and habits to make. And all of that is good - when it is in line with your LIFE ON PURPOSE<br> <br> <br> <br> Life on Purpose is turning off the autopilot - being reactive, just living on default. When we do the things we have always done, thing what we have always thought we will keep getting more of the same. Do you like where you autopilot life is taking you? Or do you want to redirect it?<br> Life on Purpose is living with INTENTION, and it needs two things:<br> <br> * knowing who you want to be, how you want to show up (values)<br> * knowing where you want to go (vision)<br> <br> I will share with you my strategy for setting out my yearly goals and habits. And remember, all of this work is NOT about overhauling your whole life and getting to 100% in all nine areas of your life, it is about being someone who does simple meaningful things, consistently, towards their vision and values. <br> <br> <br> Steps to plan out your yearly goals and habits <br> <br> * Values - take time to get clear on your personal values<br> * Vision - write out what you want and long for and aspire to in the nine areas of your life<br> <br> * Home, family, love, friendships, health, work, inner expression, outer expression, finances<br> <br> <br> * Take stock, evaluate where you are right now. This helps you set a path on the direction to take forward. Ask: What is working? What is not? What do I want more of? What do I want less of?<br> * Combine these (values, vision, evaluation) to identify the goals and habits that will move you towards your vision and values in this area of your life. <br> <br> <br> Some of my goals and habits I want to do in 2021<br> We have been doing this work for the past five years and continue to modify and refine where we want to go and how we want to get there. In this episode, I am sharing some of the goals and habits I am setting for this year ahead:<br> <br> * Home: filing papers, digitizing kid's artwork, routine deep cleanings<br> * Kids: family meetings, hikes (with friends! Which combines my family vision and friend vision for the year)<br> * Health: last year I worked a lot of sleep and vegetables. This year I am working on movement and nourishing lunches<br> * Outer: get outside (daily), make music easier (piano project)<br> * Inner: devotion goals, reading a book a month, memorizing scripture<br> * Finances: making more debt-free purchases, more detailed tracking of expenses<br> <br> <br> I also answered some of the questions sent in to me about planning life on purpose:<br> <br> * How to pick the values and vision God has for my life?<br> * How do I get my husband more involved in setting goals and habits together?<br> * What planner do you use?<br> * I feel overwhelmed about planning my life on purpose, where do I even start?<br> <br> <br> Ways to get support with intentional living this year<br> <a href="https://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca/theroadmap" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Life on Purpose Roadmap.</a> A self-guided course that addresses the hurdles, excuses and distractions that keep you from knowing what you want, planning it and taking action on it. <br> <br> <a href="https://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca/winter2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Life on Purpose Academy</a>.
