In 2023, I want to read more. But “more” isn’t very specific. So I looked up how much I read this year to set a specific goal for myself.

Looking back on your habits and setting new goals in relation to what you’re already doing will help you set realistic goals for yourself. And stick to them throughout the year.

Raise your hand for me if you feel you’re up new and different, but then you stop yourself before you start. It happens to a lot of us.

We make excuses. Maybe it’s your age, or your lifestyle, or you’re just set in your ways. Whatever your excuse is, it’s just holding you back.

So, if you want to get out there and “live your best life”, as Oprah would say, you have to push past your personal boundaries.
