Setting “micro-goals” for 2021

Posted on January 20, 2021 by Dave Ashton

New Year’s Resolutions are sooooo 2020 (and look how that turned out)!

A new survey in Yahoo News found 67% of us are setting “micro-goals” for 2021 which are less ambitious but more achievable.

The most common ones?

Eating less takeout or fast food
Maintaining my weight
Eating more nutritious food for lunch
Drinking more water
Taking vitamins
Getting outside more
Meditating for a few minutes every day
Prepping some meals in advance
Swapping healthier ingredients into foods
Walking or biking instead of driving when possible

What “micro-goals” would you make?
