Everyone wants to find a way to make their lives better to some extent or another, and analyzing your goals can help make such things clearer for yourself too. Setting a new goal for the new year is a great way to make an incremental change to your lifestyle, but with so many options to choose from you might be confused as to what you should actually end up focusing on once all has been said and is now out of the way. While most of these options would be perfectly fine, suffice it to say that there is one that stands head and shoulders above all the others.

This option is only applicable to some people, but it’s still something that’s worth thinking about in the new year. It involves smoking, and if you take part in this activity you should make it your goal to quit next year. The reason behind this is that smoking is something that can take several years off of your life, and it would also make you sicker than might have been the case otherwise.

Quitting smoking might seem like a pipe dream, but nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. A little bit of effort can go a long way. You don’t even have to quit it entirely, rather you can vow to reduce it gradually. If you smoke ten cigarettes a day, try to bring it down to five or even eight if that’s all that you can manage. Any change is good change no matter how small, and it helps make your baseline closer to the person you actually want to become in the future.
