There are three types of New Year's resolutions: those that aim to change everything, those that aren't substantial enough to create change, and those that are clear and reasonable to produce the change you want in life. Some people desire change in so many aspects of their lives, that it becomes unreasonable to expect any change at all. This is not the path you want to take. You also don't want to fall in the category of those with sketchy or uncertain goals. Instead, it's best to create enough good goals to make them count.
As a bride, you have wedding day goals. But you may also want to accomplish some non-wedding related goals for the year, as well. So start by categorizing your goals. Ask yourself, what are your wedding goals? What about personal goals? Relationship goals? Career goals? You get the idea. Write down whatever it is you've been wanting to do and then separate them into whichever category it fits best. This is the brainstorming phase. You can jot down as many things as you like, but realize that only a handful may actually come to fruition. This phase is great to get the wheels turning and put onto paper any ideas that might be floating around. It can bring to life subjects you gave little attention to before or help you narrow your focus on what's most important to you at this time in your life.
Once you've written out and sorted your 2014 goals, rank them by category. For example, number your wedding day goals in order of importance (1,2,3,4,etc.). Do the same for your personal, career, and other goals. Take the top one or two from each category, except the wedding one, and make them your goals for the year. Ideally, you want to accomplish all your wedding day goals, so rank that list, but put it in your MUST pile. It will be interesting to see what is most important to you, especially as you plan your big day. Once you've refined your list, you'll be ready to write out your goals more clearly and with the best likelihood of being achieved.
