My top 10 personal goals for 2021

Can you believe that this year has almost come to an end? Like every year, It’s that time of the year to think about the Goals for the new year.

We always want to make new changes and begin the new year by setting some goals. We also believe that these goals help us get better in various aspects of our lives.

Till now, my goals were always a bit unrealistic. By the end of the year, I would always curse myself for not being able to stick with them. The year 2020 had taught all of us to focus on the basics, and it had affected many of us in a lot more ways than we can think of.

This pandemic has definitely brought a change in my mindset and my life. So, this evident shift in everything around me has made me focus on my inner self instead of looking for happiness in things that are not under my control. I feel the need to change on how I set goals for myself every year. This year, I would like to keep them more realistic and basic.

I read about setting up SMART GOALS (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals) and I will try to analyze and measure how these minor shifts in my actions help me nourish my Mind, Body and Soul.

Here goes my top 10 personal goals for 2021.

1. Sleep for at least for 7 hours.

2. Drink at least 3.5 liters of water.

3. Spend at least 10 minutes in sun every morning between 7am to 9am.

4. Meditate or stay calm for 10 minutes.

5. Write down a To-do list.

6. Go for a 30-minute walk or go cycling with my daughter.

7. Finish my dinner at least 3 hours before I sleep.

8. Reduce screen time (especially till 2 hours after I wake up and from 2 hours before I sleep).

9. Write a gratitude journal.

10. Moisturize and take care of my skin.

If you stumble upon this post and if you think there are a few more small changes I can make to improve myself, do let me know.

I will be happy to hear about them.
