Catholic New Year's Resolutions (Spiritual Goals)

Forget the gym membership. Here are 5 resolutions that will actually change your life. Aim for holiness, not just abs.

80% of resolutions fail by February. Why? Because they rely on willpower instead of grace. This year, set Micro-Goals:

1. The 1% Rule (15 mins of Prayer)

Don't say "I will pray more." Be specific. "I will pray 15 minutes before I check my phone." (15 mins = 1% of your day).

2. Monthly Confession

Put it on the calendar now. First Saturday of every month.

3. Read the Bible (5 mins)

Don't try to read everything. Read one chapter of the Gospels a day.

4. Friday Meatless Fast

Bring back the old school tradition. It builds discipline.

5. Tithing (Start Small)

Give 1% more to charity than you did last year.
