This new edition allows users to track various health aspects such as sleep, self-care priorities, joy and stress levels, movement, hydration, and nutrition, in addition to traditional planning elements like goals and daily rituals. The planner includes specialized tools like a self-care planner, a heart check, and a vision sketch, making it a comprehensive resource for individuals aiming to prioritize their wellness. Users are encouraged to take immediate action by purchasing the planner to integrate these practices into their lives.
Setting Relational Goals for Stronger Connections
The importance of setting intentional relational goals is highlighted, emphasizing that strong relationships often require deliberate effort rather than being purely organic. Examples of relational goals include planning trips with a partner or dedicating quality time with children, showcasing the need for intentionality, especially during slower seasons like summer. By applying a structured approach, such as the Smarter Framework, individuals can enhance their connections with others through planned activities and shared experiences. Real-life examples, such as arranging special outings or vacations, illustrate how these goals can foster deeper connections and create lasting memories.
Fun Activities as Relational Goals
Two specific goals are proposed to strengthen relationships, with the first being the idea of a 'Friday Fun Day' celebrated weekly from July to August. This concept encourages families and friends to gather regularly, share activities, and create traditions together, reinforcing bonds through enjoyable shared experiences. The second goal involves planning a three-day getaway by the end of August, whether it be a staycation or a bigger trip, aimed at rejuvenating relationships through quality time without work distractions. Both goals underscore the value of planning and intent to make memorable experiences that contribute to healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
When we think of setting goals, we often think of the things we want to accomplish at work. But, if we truly want to both win at work and succeed at life, then we need to spend time working on our relationships. To help us do that, we need to set intentional relationship goals to make sure that we create space for the people that are most important to us.
