Look at the filled goal tracker chart. In each category pick one goal to work on for the upcoming month. The suggested goals are organized from most basic at the top, to more complex at the bottom. Pick the most basic one that you haven't mastered. If it's not clear what the suggested goal is, go to that dimensions of wellness page for details.

Use the daily habit tracker form for the goals that need daily action. It could be one task to complete that week.

Find an accountability partner. Every week report how you did in each goal. Try to keep it simply an informational report and non-judgmental.

For each goal, decide on a reward for yourself for the week or month. Report to your accountability partner when you give yourself the rewards. You might ask their help if it's hard to manage the reward process.

At month end, for the categories you feel you mastered or created a habit lasting 3 weeks or more, pick a new goal for that category. For the goals you still want to work on, keep those to work on in the next month. If you can't decide, discuss it with your accountability partner.

If you've gone three months and still have one category with a basic goal you haven't mastered, take a week to stop focusing on the whole set and just focus on that one.

If you can't get some progress after a week, get some help figuring out what's stopping you. If you don't have sources of help, look thru the podcast lists for a related topic, or discuss with your accountability partner.

Once you've succeeded in that goal for a week, about 5 out of 7 days, go back to your set of goals and make a new one for each category.

Every 6 months look at the prior goals you've progressed in and decide if you slid back and need to work a bit more on those before moving on.

Every 6 months get some feedback about your progress. Ask people who might be affected by your goals and who you trust to have positive intentions toward you.
