23 Goals for 2023
“Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.” — Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens
I really enjoy goal setting. It is one of my key methods of self improvement yearly.
Time and time again, research shows that you are more likely to achieve your goals when you write them down. In that same breath, it is important that when you’re thinking about setting goals, you set yourself up for success. That means having a method of planning that allows you to track your progress in the right way, stay motivated, and encourages you to be both consistent and disciplined. For as long as I can remember, I’ve kept a planner where all tasks, meetings, outings and goals (big, small, daily, weekly, monthly, etc) live. I highly recommend downloading the 2023 goal planner from my shop. I personally use this and update it every year. You can download it for free by signing up for my newsletter.
This year I’m writing my goals down as it corresponds with the year! I heard this pretty cool idea on the GenTwenty podcast and thought I’d give it a whirl so here goes…these are my 23 goals for 2023:
Read at least 23 books in 2023
Commit to working out 2-3 times per week
Run a 10K
Maintain a 7-figure practice/business
Re-commit to date night with my husband once per week
Schedule a CEO day once per month
Go to church at least one Sunday per month
Complete the Wharton Masters Business of Orthodontics-AAO Program
Be more active on the Board of the DC Dental Society
Drink more water (4-6 cups/day)
Increase my blogging & candle company Income
Do one family/kid friendly activity per week(end)
Spend 1000 hours outdoors
Try a new restaurant every month
Find ways to give back to my community
Do continuing education (CEs) once per month
One spa day per month (self care)
Book at least four trips and two “real” vacations
Gain a new skill
Get more sleep
Pay off debt
Learn one new recipe every month
Shop with more small businesses
Now that I’ve written this on the blog, you get to be my accountability partner. I will do one check-in mid year to update my progress and another at the end of the year. What are your 2023 goals?
