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.
Not just an idea in my head.
A real plan.

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

Awe, good goals. I think we're in simular spots as we have both posted on making good, healthy changes AND being accountable for it! That IS the scary part, when I posted what I did, it took alot so kudos to you for doing that and putting it out there for us all! And I like how you said it's not about results, just the process! I'm with you on that! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support. Remember this prayer.
ReplyDeleteGod grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
I know I will need it.
I like your goals and your attitude for success.
ReplyDeletegood for you.
I drug myself off to zumba this evening. Then went to a Valentine banquet w/the hubby and ate the cake!
Thanks for the smiles today in "wedding-snow-ville", too.
oh btw, we had an outdoor backyard wedding as well. A lovely windy morning on July 2, 1977.
ReplyDeleteI'll post pics in the near future.

ReplyDeleteYou go girl. Goals are great...they keep you on track. I know I need a better attitude. Winter gives me the excuse of just being a grump alot. Shame on me!
ReplyDeleteLove your idea to "obsess" over 2 things at a time. Not a lot to take on and you can do it. Not worried about he results either. Loving that.
ReplyDeleteThese are great and I need to work on them....
