Setting Goals For 2023

A new year is a fresh start and a new beginning. It’s the best time to reflect and create a list of goals to achieve and better ourselves. However, sometimes our goals are so self-focused that we forget to involve God in our planning. We may know what we want to achieve, but we can’t do it alone. We need God to make it to the end. Let's make this year special by setting SMART goals, inviting God into our goals, serving others, having someone to hold us accountable, and making a difference. Setting SMART goals is all about prioritizing, being realistic, and making sure the goals we set will help us be healthier and to grow spiritually, physically, and mentally, to be who God created us to be and serve others. So, take some time to think, plan and consider God when making a list of your goals. 

Join today’s Therapy Thursday conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Lidia Martinez as we talk about setting SMART goals and making 2023 a special and memorable year by making God our focus and His plans for us a priority.
