Embracing Positive, Specific Goals for a Healthier New Year

Writer's picture: Dr. DanielDr. Daniel

It's resolution season here. January 2025. So everybody's got a little bit of something in mind that they'd like to work on. And so first and foremost here in the office, we've been recommending for our patients that they're looking at creating really specific goals. Instead of the conversation being around, "I'd like to be healthier," let's open that up to:


What does that look like?

What does that feel like?

What does that allow you to do maybe that isn't available to you right now?


Create some specificity around what that goal looks like so that when you do try to reach it, you know what it feels like and looks like when you get to that point.


And another thing too is when we're setting goals, far too often I feel like we're running away from a negative rather than trying to travel towards a positive. And so instead of looking at your goal as "I'd like to avoid this," or, "I don't want to feel this anymore," or, "I just don't want to be here," let's look towards something positive that you can attach your motivation to, you can attach your drive to that says, "I am stepping into something that I would like to have, rather than stepping away from something that I don't want to have."


Good luck out there.


Be Well
