Last Friday of the Month: Set Your Fitness, Nutritional & Spiritual Goals for the New Year

The end of the year hits differently when you’ve lived, learned, healed, and carried more than most people will ever know. You don’t enter a new year empty-handed — you enter it with wisdom, clarity, and a deeper understanding of who God has shaped you to become.

The last Friday of every month is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and reset your intentions — and as we approach the New Year, it becomes even more powerful. This is your moment to get aligned in three core areas that influence everything you do:

Your fitness
Your nutrition
Your spiritual growth

Let’s walk through each one with intention.

1. Fitness Goals: Move With Purpose

Your body is a temple, a vessel, and a gift. And movement is a form of worship — a way of saying:
“Thank You, Lord, for the ability to move, strengthen, and care for this body.”

When setting fitness goals:

  • Choose goals that are measurable but meaningful

  • Aim for consistency over intensity

  • Focus on strength for longevity

  • Track small wins weekly

  • Honor your body’s limitations and celebrate its abilities

Examples:

  • Walk 100 intentional miles this year

  • Strength train 2–3 times weekly

  • Improve flexibility with a 5-minute morning stretch

  • Build a stronger core for posture and longevity

2. Nutritional Goals: Eat for Energy, Healing, and Longevity

Nourishing your body is not about restriction — it’s about partnership with your future self.

When setting nutritional goals:

  • Choose nourishment that supports healing and energy

  • Reduce processed foods without obsessing over perfection

  • Plan simple meals that are easy to sustain

  • Hydrate intentionally

  • Eat whole, colorful, God-designed foods

Examples:

  • Follow an anti-inflammatory meal plan for 30 days

  • Drink 80 oz of water daily

  • Add greens to two meals per day

  • Limit eating out to once a week

  • Meal prep simple, balanced meals on Sundays

3. Spiritual Goals: Stay Rooted, Guided, and Connected to God

When your spirit is anchored, your decisions become clearer, your peace expands, and your strength becomes supernatural.

Spiritual health goals may include:

  • Reading scripture daily

  • Joining a Bible-based community

  • Journaling prayers

  • Practicing gratitude each morning

  • Releasing old habits and walking boldly into healing

Examples:

  • Complete a 30-day prayer journal

  • Join a small group or online faith community

  • Memorize one scripture per week

  • Set a daily morning devotional routine

A New Year Requires a New Level of You

When your fitness, nutrition, and spiritual life align, you become unstoppable. Not because of perfection — but because of intention. Because you’ve decided to partner with God and steward your body, your energy, your time, and your calling.

This year, don’t just set goals.
Set standards.
Set boundaries.
Set rhythms that serve your health and your purpose.

And watch how God moves.
