A Seemingly Small Goal

Tell me, do you set New Year’s goals? For the past couple years I’ve chosen one simple, achievable but significant change to make in my daily routine.

Last year, my resolution was to read Hank a book each day because I noticed I wasn’t reading as much to him as I had to his older brother. We met this goal nearly every day, and in the process Hank has become a super verbal kid who absolutely loves books. Two years ago, my goal was to drink a big glass of water first thing every morning. It’s now become a daily habit.

All this is to say that a seemingly small goal can make a big impact. Something I’m keeping in mind as I set my intention for 2019.
