Wellness
To focus on personal wellness, set a goal in one of the following categories (or in any category of your own choosing that is important to you):

★ Career – What level do you want to reach in your career, or what do you want to achieve?
★ Education – Is there any knowledge/degrees you want to acquire in particular this year?
★ Time – Do you want to set a goal regarding time with your family, friends, self or others?
★ Artistic – Do you want to achieve any artistic goals? (Music, art, etc.)
★ Physical – Are there any goals regarding your physical health that you want to achieve?
★ Balance – Do you have a desire to balance work and professional life, what will you need to do to achieve this?
★ Public Service – Do you want to give back in a different way this year?

Spend some time thinking about personal wellness. As you do this, make sure that the goal you set is genuinely one you want to achieve, not
ones that your parents, family, or employers might want.
