Goal Planning and Gratitude Worksheets

Our family is in the middle of Christmas decorating, list making, and shopping.  This is definitely my favorite time of year, but before you know it, we will be ringing in the new year.

This year has been a whirlwind of firsts for me.  My boys are growing up so fast and I have so much going on at the same time.  A couple of days ago I began scheduling my kids dentist appointments, doctor’s appointments, and vision appointments, all for the month of January.  I finally got to bust my 2014 Planner out and start filling in my appointments.

While filling in my appointments and stuff I have planned for January, I got to thinking about all my past years resolutions that were not kept.

You see, I like so many, have made many resolutions in my past that actually don’t make it past January.

Ooops, how’s that for honesty.

This year I am trying something new.  I am no longer going to even consider a new year resolution, but I am going to start setting goals, and I have created the following worksheets to help me keep track of my thoughts, positivity, and dreams.

I have decided to add the worksheets to my shop since I know many of you face the same dilemma every year as I do.  I hope you find these goal planning and gratitude worksheets useful. These puppies will definitely be incorporated into my family binder this upcoming year!

How to fill in the Goal worksheet:

• Set a Goal –
• Why is this Goal meaningful to you? What makes this goal of yours, so important?
• How are you going to accomplish your Goal? What’s the game plan?
• What monthly steps are you going to take to accomplish your Goal? What steps do you need to accomplish monthly to get you a step closer to your goal?
• What daily steps are you going to take to accomplish your Goal? If you do something everyday toward your goal, you are only going to be that much closer.

How to fill in the Gratitude & Positivity worksheet:

• What are you grateful for today?
• In what way did you use your imagination in a positive way today?  You need to imagine yourself everyday in a positive way.  It can be a place, a frame of mind, a feeling, etc.
• Stress less – Do you worry about things that are out of your control?  This one is a toughy for me.  After I had my boys I worry about sickness, death, bills, you name it, I stress about it.  I will definitely be using this portion of the worksheet daily.  Maybe closer to bedtime when my brain is flooded with random thoughts.
• Note to self – Stay positive.  If you were your own best friend, what would you tell yourself to make you feel positive about life today?

I would love to know what your goals are for 2014.
