I’m going to spend more time visiting family in my hometown of Boston, where I can also see my son who is attending college there.

8. One thing I’m going to create.

I’m going to create a website and online presence for my company.

9. One negative belief I’m going to drop.

I’m not sure I have negative beliefs but I definitely underestimate myself in some ways. So, I’m going to push forward to build better workout habits (e.g., improve my strength, flexibility, and rowing skills) and also use my time better to promote my business. I have to value myself more and want to convey a quiet confidence about the ways I am contributing to my field.

10. One positive belief I’m going to reinforce.

I want to confirm that I can maintain my nutrition and fitness routine over the long term. My work is about engaging the people most affected by social problems in finding solutions and taking collective action to make a difference. In the coming year, I plan to write some stories or share some brief videos/vignettes that describe the positive results we’ve accomplishes together using this approach so more decision makers will see the benefits and consider leading in this way.

11. One unhealthy food I’m going to stop eating.

There isn’t a particular food I’m going to stop eating but I’ll try to eliminate processed foods and food with added sugar, whenever possible. This is likely to be a gradual reduction rather than a sudden stop.

12. One healthy food I’m going to start eating.

I’ll increase my daily intake of green leafy vegetables and try to increase servings of fruit and vegetables. I’ll also try to eat more fish and less read meat.

17. One personal development goal I’m going to achieve. Holding crow pose for an extended period of time.
