Obsession

This week I'm going to be focusing on my new obsession.  I'm going to be obsessing on the goals I have for ME.  These are  personal goals.  They can't be goals I have for others or goals I share with others.  Me, mine, nobody else.  I can't depend on anyone else to achieve these goals.  I can't blame anyone else if I don't achieve these goals.  They are mine.

Why obsession?  I've been encouraged to set personal goals and obsess over them.  Make them the thing that is constantly pricking at my thoughts.  Make my goals the thing that keeps coming to my mind.  I need to write them down and post them places I cannot help but see them.  This scares me a little bit.  I know if I do this other people will see them, too.  This leaves me open to the possibility of others holding me accountable to my goals.  Would this be good or bad?  I don't know.  Right now, it just feels scary. 

Now, what are my goals?  I'm sure this list is not complete, but I have to start somewhere.  Ha ha, I'm feeling a little scared to type them here.  Funny.

1. Develop a positive attitude and demeanor - this involves smiling more, connecting with people, giving positive reinforcement, looking for the up-side of situations.
2. Take better care of my body - don't shame myself, eat healthy foods in the correct amounts, exercise it, care for it. 

I start with just these two.  Seems fairly simple.  I should be able to obsess over two things.  I'm not going to worry about results.  I'm just going to obsess on the process.  Just obsess on the goals and what I have to do to achieve them.  It's written down now, so it's a plan. 

Not just an idea in my head. 

A real plan.
