L’shana Tovah! I hope you all enjoyed the Rosh Hashana celebrations as
much as I did. Many of you inquired about
the “8 F’s” that I spoke of
in my Erev Rosh Hashana speech so
I thought I would send them out.
The idea is to write down 3 to 4 specific goals in each of these areas. Then, make sure your list is in a visible place and share your goals with someone close to you!
They are:
1. Fun
2. Fitness
3. Family
4. Faith
5. Freedom
6. Finances
7. Friendship
8. Following/Leadership
Put reminders in your calendar to “check-in” on yourself every 3 months. This has been a successful goal setting exercise for me and I encourage anyone to try it that is interested. Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy, peaceful and joyous new year in 5774!
