Goals

GOAL SETTING:

28 March 11

I think setting goals is really important for each person. It means we have some exciting things to look forward to. So that when we accomplish those, we’ve become a better version of ourselves, and feel like we’ve accomplished something. It builds self confidence, and general wellbeing.


It can sometimes be a little scary setting goals. So start with small goals, short term and long term. And once you see those working out, set some huge ones. If we don’t dream, how can we achieve big things?! icon smile Goals

Sell car:
I’ve been wanting to sell my car for quite a while now, and have finally put it up for sale! I received one call about it last night, yay! Hoping that I sell it soon. Now that I have a mortgage, I need all the extra money I can get.



Wiifit: The Wiifit is truly fantastic! I’ve been using it nearly every day to improve my posture, balance and general fitness levels. My Wiifit age is 39 – not impressive. Everyone should exercise, no matter what weight, or size. I might look fit on the outside, but really I’ve got a lot of work to do!


Fruit: I find myself lacking in energy. So instead of huge meals, I’m going to have smaller ones, but more frequently throughout my day. I usually eat well, lots of veggies etc, but rarely ever have fruit. So, I’ve made it my mission, to have at least one fruit a day! I know that sounds cliché ‘”One fruit a day” – but it’s true! This is a great habit to have, and it’s one I need to work on.


Water: Got to keep the fluid levels up! I need to drink more water – but not too much.


Credit Card: My credit card has worked for me for the past 7 years. But now that I have a mortgage, I am finding it hard to keep up. So once I pay it off, it will be – bye bye credit card.


Digital Imaging: I LOVE digital imaging. It’s one of my favourite past times, that I get to use on my blog and have recently been using in my full time job, thanks to my Manager who gives me the opportunity to use and hone my skills. I would love to add to them, and in the process of finding a Digital Imaging course.


Vision Board: The Power of Now, and the Power of Attraction, are two concepts I live by. Which is why I’ve decided to make a vision board for my room, a collage of things I love and want, to attract what I desire in to my life, by purely imagining them.


Update:
Sunday 25 September 11

  • DID SELL CAR
  • DID NOT EXERCISE
  • DID NOT EAT MORE FRUIT
  • DID DRINK MORE WATER EACH DAY
  • DID PAY OFF CREDIT CARD
  • DID NOT FIND DIGITAL IMAGING COURSE CLOSE BY
  • DID MAKE A VISION BOARD FOR MY BEDROOM, AND NEED TO ADD TO IT




So, as you can see, you might not achieve every single goal right away. But you will achieve some, and that will give you confidence to know that you can actually achieve your goals. And then you will have the determination to achieve the ones you couldn’t, or change them so that they will work.

I changed the goals that I couldn’t accomplish, into easier goals. If you successfully achieve an easy goal, it is then easier to reach higher!



My new goals are:

  • EXERCISE FOR 20 MIN TWICE A WEEK – I borrowed an exercise DVD from the library. I’ll let you know how that goes!


  • EAT 1 FRUIT A WEEK, THEN TWO – I’m so bad at eating fruit, but I am determined to make this happen!


  • DO A PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE CLOSE TO HOME, to build on my existing skills.


  • ADD MORE INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOS TO MY TUMBLR, and print some out for my vision board.


  • LEARN TWO NEW RECIPES A MONTH, print them out and stick them in my recipes scrapbook.

P.s. I found this PDF file of ‘how to hit your goals’ from Brittany Lynch‘s Website! Please check it out – it’s basically how I set my goals and achieve them.
