Goals, Shmoals

I did again, I said I wouldn't fall victum and get sucked into starting another year with New Years Resolutions. I did.........but totally revamped and modified the whole premise around the idea.

Resolutions, are they not action items so the same thing doesn't happen again. There for they should be actionable solutions. Who the hell can come up with those with a glass of champange in their hand? I say no one!

Ok, so now what? It's a new year I'm feel frisky to go on with the next year of my life and make it awesome! Crush goals and thoughts. Better myself.

So I came up with goals. ACHIEVE. My favorite word. WIN. Second favorite word. IMPROVE. Third favorite word. STORY........because I want my life to be a story not beige paint on a wall with beige furniture.

My goals are based around personal, fitness and work. Mostly this year I'm working on my fincial planning, professional certifications, publishing in a professional journal and some minor fitness goals.

But the one I'm most proud of adding is GRATITUDE. What a humdinger of a word. I realized I lean toward super negative vibes, especially in the last 3 years. And I keep looking at all I don't have but forget what I do have. With that said I'm practicing gratitude everyday. I'm not going to log it in a notebook I'm just going to do it. Say "I'm a lucky gal because __________". There's the reminding technique then there is showing. I believe that's the hardest one of them all. Showing the people in our lives what they mean to us and thanking them for all they do. Also being consistent with feedback is challenging.

Oh I just thought of one last goal. Focus on being PRESENT. I need to sit in every moment and soak it up. Take the opportunity of the moment to make good sound decisions for myself. I think if I live in the present, my obsessing/anxiety/procrastination will minimize then I can love life even more!
