The new year is right around the corner. Will you spend the next month trying to decide how to be better? Wishing for a change that will surely make you a happier, healthier, more focused person? Mapping out New Year’s resolutions and hoping you’ll be able to stick to them? I’ve done that in the past – haven’t we all?
Well this year I want to do it differently. This year I want to spend January remembering what I’ve done right and what I love about myself. This year I want to resolve to strengthen what is already strong. To focus on the best parts of my today and hope for more of those in the future. Want to join me?
A NEW New Year’s Resolution Idea
I actually wrote and published this New Year’s Resolution idea a couple of years ago. I received a lot of great responses, including an email this year asking me to update the printable. One of my talents is putting a positive spin on anything (let me know if you need a silver lining or a clear plan) and this New Year’s Resolution guide is designed to do just that.
Here’s to making new New Year’s Resolutions!

Hey Jill, great idea – hope to share towards the end of the month on http://www.facebook.com/ConsciousParentingApproach – thank you! Wishing you a Happy New Year ahead! 🙂
Wishing you a Happy New Year too Lisha!
Very interesting idea. I am still in Christmas planning mode, but would like to spend more time thinking about the year ahead in the last 2 weeks of the year
What a great idea! This is going to be really tough, because at this time of the year, some of us focus on what we should stop doing or what we should do better. The idea of reflecting on the good things and continuing with it will surely give us a positive frame of mind as we enter the new year. Thanks for sharing!
I love this for adults — AND KIDS.
Great job. 🙂
I love this! Printing for the adults to fill out at my party tonight. I love the approach and this will carry us into 2014 with a happy heart! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your great idea. I have included this in my latest blog post and linked here. Happy New Year!

Great idea! So often these resolutions become unfulfilled to-do lists that just defeat us. I like your take on it!
LOL, I am not sure if this is a brilliant way to avoid making silly resolutions or not. I gave up doing annual resolutions a long time ago. I do however sit and take stock of what has made me happy etc often. I sadly also do time-planning things and fail at keeping that up
Hello! Love the worksheet! I was wondering if you could please update the year to 2015 and 2016? Would love to use this for my 6th grade class at the start of the year!
Hi Macy! It’s updated. 🙂 I love the idea of using this with 6th graders.
