Become a Resolution Superhero

As the calendar flipped to January, you probably stare at that list of resolutions with the same determination you reserve for tackling a buffet—enthusiastic, but slightly overwhelmed. This year, however, we won’t aspire to be a superhero overnight, but to channel your inner realist identity and embrace the art of setting achievable goals.

Think of yourself as the Captain Marvel of Realistic Resolutions with a new superpower of setting goals that won’t make you question your life choices by February.

For starters, abandon goals anywhere near, close to, or in the same zip code as running a marathon by March or turning into a grand “Master Chef” who cooks elaborate meals every night. Seriously, don’t wait for Valentines Day to toss these plans out, today’s a perfect day for that.

Instead, for starters rewrite goals like these into the more manageable “Just Move More” exercise plan, and walk whenever you can. In the kitchen, be a Microwave Gourmet if you need to, or a master of replicating YouTube recipes once in a while. If you take those little steps for a while and find that it’s actually doable it this year, then add on a bit more!

In your quest for realistic greatness, you’ll discover that achievable goals don’t just spare your sanity—they also leave room for many little victories along the way. So here’s to a year of you being the superhero of sensible aspirations, where success isn’t measured by grandeur but by the joyful realization that little steps really do add up.

Cheers to a year of achievable awesomeness!
