Rather than waiting until New Years Eve to create a generic NYE resolution, Dr. Dan encourages us all to plan ahead and offers 3 steps when preparing for a fantastic year:

1) Be realistic about the season of life you are in. Creating goals or resolutions that are not in alignment with your season will most likely fall flat.

2) Keep it simple. Rather than setting several unrelated goals, identify one word or phrase that encapsulates the way you want to feel in the coming year.

3) Make it visible. Strategically place this word or phrase throughout your environment to help prime you each day to make progress towards your goals.

"Know your vision. Be your vision. Breathe your vision. Let your intentional, crafted, motivating vision be your guiding light every single day!"
