Sarah, you make a great point.

My birthday is December 21st, and I like to think about how I want to spend the next year and where I see myself in the next year.

I am always reevaluating where I am at in my goals, the little goals I check in every week to a month and the big goals I check in every three months. Every new twist in my life I sit down and think about how it's working with my goals.

I have found making too many goals to be overwhelming (like this year I am putting way too much on my plate...but this year is the big 30 and it's a huge deal for me).

BUT I try to keep a major goal in each important aspect of my life and set mini goals to reach so that overall I am taking care of myself as a whole.

Personally, I don't like telling people my goals...to me it's a personal thing. My T is the only person I really tell because she helps me stay motivated and work through my issues with my goal.

I am someone who is extremely goal-orientated. I enjoy setting goals even it's a minute thing. I enjoy setting goals in all aspects of my life because I love improving myself and the sense of accomplishment I feel.

I've been doing goal setting for over ten years and another thing that makes me give up on goals is if I'm not fully motivated or interested in doing it. For years I've been telling myself to drink more water, and I just can't get myself to do it.
