New Year Resolutions

How To Set Attainable Goals

Hi friend 👋🏼,

As we roll into 2024, it's time to dust off those aspirations, dreams, and the slightly crumpled list of resolutions you tucked away last year. Fear not, brave souls, for this year, we're tackling the art of resolution-setting with humor, grace, and a dash of rebellious spirit. Buckle up for the rollercoaster of adulting because 2024 is the year we conquer, or at least befriend, those well-intentioned New Year's resolutions.

Tip #1: The Art of Realistic Resolutions

Let's start with the basics, shall we? Realistic resolutions are the unsung heroes of the New Year. Forget climbing Everest or becoming a Zen master overnight; let's focus on the attainable.

Resolution Reframe:

Last Year: "I will learn Mandarin, Portuguese, and Klingon."

This Year: "I will master the art of ordering takeout in three different languages."

Because, let's be honest, the only Klingon you need to conquer is in the office coffee room.

Tip #2: The Power of Accountability Partners (Preferably Pets)

Ah, accountability—the elusive unicorn of goal-setting. Enter your furry (or scaly, we don't judge) sidekick. Pets are the ultimate accountability partners. They neither judge your Netflix marathon nor snicker when you eat an entire pizza. Plus, they make excellent workout buddies. Have you ever tried to outrun a determined Labrador? It's an Olympic-level challenge.

Accountability Hack:

Goal: Exercise three times a week.

Accountability Partner: Fluffy, the judgment-free cat who occasionally bats at your shoelaces while you attempt jumping jacks.

Tip #3: The Joy of Procrastination...Strategically

Procrastination gets a bad rap, but what if we strategically embraced it? Instead of diving headfirst into resolutions like a caffeinated squirrel, let's strategically procrastinate. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your new and improved self.

Procrastination Strategy:

Resolution: Start a side hustle.

Procrastination Plan: Spend the first month curating the perfect Spotify playlist for productivity.

Because, really, what's a side hustle without the ideal background music?

Tip #4: The Zen of Embracing Failure

Ah, failure—the less celebrated cousin of success. This year, let's not just accept failure; let's embrace it like a long-lost friend. The key is to fail forward, fail fabulously, and fail in a way that leaves you with a great story for the next family gathering.

Failure Mantra:

"I may not have stuck to my resolution, but I did learn that I'm an excellent interpretive dancer when avoiding the gym."

Tip #5: The Subtle Art of Rewarding Yourself

Remember those gold star stickers from elementary school? Well, they never lost their magic. Rewarding yourself is an art form, and it doesn't always involve a cheat day or a shopping spree (although, let's be honest, those are pretty fantastic).

Reward System:

Resolution: Save money.

Reward: Allow yourself a guilt-free venti, extra-whip, double-shot caramel macchiato on Fridays.

Because financial responsibility deserves a weekly dose of frothy indulgence.

Tip #6: The Beauty of Small Wins

Small wins are the unsung heroes of resolution success. Forget waiting for that grand finale; celebrate the mini victories along the way. Survived a week without ordering pizza? Huzzah! Managed to water the plants for an entire month? You're practically a botanist.

Small Win Celebration:

Resolution: Cook dinner at home more often.

Small Win: Successfully boiled pasta without setting off the smoke detector.

My name is Rachael, and I am the founder of Femme Force. I've always been passionate about celebrating the remarkable strength that women possess, and I've spent my career in the world of personal protection, blending this strength with an unwavering commitment to maintaining my feminine touch. Now, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Femme Force, a platform where we celebrate the power of femininity and strength, together.

In conclusion, dear readers, let's approach our New Year's resolutions with a wink, a nod, and a good dose of humor. Life is too short to be overly serious about kale salads and 5 AM workouts (unless that's your thing, in which case, more power to you).

Wishing you a joyous, laughter-filled, and resolution-friendly 2024!

Affirmation ✨

Blurt out your ideas. Or hold them back and see what doesn’t happen.

Book I’m Reading 📚

Ok so I jumped on the young adult fiction train here. I won’t lie I had to push through the first half because the sheer fantasy words and types of characters and “rules” took me for a spin. Jury is out on if I read book 2 of the series.

Finance Tip đź’µ

For 2024 I am promoting - money can buy you happiness. It is safety and joy all in one. It can help you leave a toxic situation or give you that vacation you always wanted. We have to stop treating money as an ugly thing and embrace what it can do.

Time Management Tip ⏰

Recharge. I just got back from an amazing holiday recharge trip in Curacao. I laughed, I slept (a lot), I read multiple books and was able to disconnect. It was exactly what I needed. I recommend this to anyone who is the person that says “YES!” to all things.

What I’m Shopping For 🛍️

Bala Bangles. This may sound insane…but I travel with these. Not in my luggage because I dare not take 2 pounds away from me but I put them on and walk with them throughout the airport and use them for Peloton barre classes in my hotel room.

What I’m Listening To 🎶

Goal Digger Podcast. This podcast has helped give me a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to content creation. And as we can tell I can use all the tips and tricks that are out there.

As we embark on this journey together, I invite you to connect with us on Instagram @femmeforce_co to stay updated with our daily doses of inspiration and Femme Force updates.

With strength and elegance,
