Now that the glow of our most recent Disney trip as waned and the throes of Christmas have slowed, the New Year looms ahead! Personally, I do not like New Year resolutions, because I never keep them! I usually break them within the first two weeks. Sooooo…. I set up New Year goals the week after Christmas to be effectively in place January 1. Goals can be for anything you want to accomplish during the New Year. It doesn’t matter what area of your life the goals focus. Like dieting, you know you are going to fall off that diet and sneak that chocolate at least once during that long journey to your ideal weight. When it happens, you eat that chocolate, you enjoy it and you move back on to the carrots and spinach salads again. It works the same way when you have the Dream Disney trip planned. Dream Disney can be a goal that you turn into reality with little or no guilt!
