Abstract
We will soon be in the midst of holiday season stress, thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Making and keeping New Year’s resolutions is fraught with disappointments (nearly 80% fail by February), so I prefer to challenge myself by setting goals for the year, such as a yearly reading goal. My goal is 52 books per year, and each year has a different accompanying theme such as reading only nonfiction works or women authors or authors of color. I also set a health goal (notice I did not say weight loss goal) to engage in physical activity 5 days each week. In addition, with the help of a health and wellness coach, I also learned to reframe how my health and wellness goals can be an asset to my leadership practice. Beth A.
