Continuing along my borderline-OCD habit of list making, I've thoughtfully contructed this year's goal's list. I found it interesting to see how different this year's list turned out from every other year (I've been doing this faithfully every year since 2007) - and I think it's a direct reflection of how different my life looks now, six years later. My goals back then were very "utilitarian" in nature and reflected my basic needs and drive for survival during some very challenging times and negative circumstances. This time I see a dramatic shift from "survival mode", I feel like I'm finally able to change gears, shift right into DRIVE, and put the pedal to the metal! hahaha ;)
Here's this years list!
If I was to describe the overall theme of this year's goal, I would say my ultimate overall goal would be something like,to be Wonderwoman to strive for ultimate health and balance - in all areas : mind, body, and soul. I've learned the ridiculously hard way through personal experience that all three of these need to be healthy and in balance to truly experience life to the fullest.
But more importantly, IT TAKES WORK to keep healthy and balanced, and YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE. Everyone needs a support network, a few close friends to encourage you and whom you can truly rely on to give you that "tough love" when you need to held accountable. Be willing to be that supporter to someone else as well - it's about give and take and giving back is just as important in that balance!
Have you set any goals for the year? I welcome you to post a link in the comments section to your own list! If you haven't made one, I hope this at least inspires you to consider it - goals are good motivators to get you out of bed on difficult mornings. And there's nothing quite like the feeling of crossing an accomplished goal off the list! If you feel like you have noone around you to count on to support you in achieving your goals, then I WILL. I am right here for you - I will be your online source of encouragement, inspiration and tough love when you need it. Come read my blog whenever you need to be reminded that YOU'RE NOT ALONE, and that someone out there truly beleives in you - that someone is me!
I've made up my mind to plug in my bass guitar and begin my first lesson.
Well, I'm gone for now, like all the feeling in my fingertips!
