\"\"As the calendar flipped to January, you probably stare at that list of resolutions with the same determination you reserve for tackling a buffet\u2014enthusiastic, but slightly overwhelmed. This year, however, we won’t aspire to be a superhero overnight, but to channel your inner realist identity and embrace the art of setting achievable goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of yourself as the Captain Marvel of Realistic Resolutions with a new superpower of setting goals that won’t make you question your life choices by February.<\/span><\/p>\n

For starters, abandon goals anywhere near, close to, or in the same zip code as running a marathon by March or turning into a grand “Master Chef” who cooks elaborate meals every night. Seriously, don’t wait for Valentines Day to toss these plans out, today’s a perfect day for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, for starters rewrite goals like these into the more manageable “Just Move More” exercise plan, and walk whenever you can. In the kitchen, be a Microwave Gourmet if you need to, or a master of replicating YouTube recipes once in a while. If you take those little steps for a while and find that it’s actually doable it this year, then add on a bit more!<\/span><\/p>\n

In your quest for realistic greatness, you\u2019ll discover that achievable goals don’t just spare your sanity\u2014they also leave room for many little victories along the way. So here’s to a year of you being the superhero of sensible aspirations, where success isn’t measured by grandeur but by the joyful realization that little steps really do add up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers to a year of achievable awesomeness!<\/span><\/p>\n
