Last week I started a Goal Book using Mixed Media and I reached all 5 of my goals. This is what this weeks Goals are...but before I elaborate on this weeks goals...here's a short recap on last week...1 was to write at least 5 articles - I at least doubled that! Another goal was to make at least 1 'World Foods' dish - I did 3 or 4 of them. Then I wrote 'Start A Vision Board' - I started one but it's in the very beginning stages still. I wanted to breathe more...more deep breaths...I was able to do that. Then, finally, I wanted to laugh/smile more...I also did that. Hubby and I started watching Brooklyn 99 on Hulu+ and it's sooooo funny! Nice way to unwind at the end of the day.
So on to this week! #1 on my list is to get back into Yoga. Any kind of yoga! I mostly do Kripalu Yoga but am open to others. I also enjoy Yoga Trance Dance that was made popular by Shiva Rea. #2 on my list this week is to visit my parents. This isn't unusual for me - I try and get over to their place once a week or every other week - but - it's still a goal. #3 is to send at least 3 "Thank You" Emails to people and places that I think are doing 'good things'. It's so often we hear the complaints and not the GOOD feedback and I want to change that. #4 is to text at least 3 friends that I haven't chatted with in a while. I have two in mind as I type this. Finally - #5 is to concentrate on LARGE salads for dinners most of this week!
Not only did I reach all of my goals last week - I have a good start on the ones for this week - AND - I found myself accomplishing a lot of OTHER things around the house and at work that I didn't include in my Goal Book! I'm VERY pleased so far with this project!
Ok, simple goals, nice! I should have one too...and maybe I would not procrastinate so much. "Do not leave till tomorrow what you can do today" is definitely not something that I live by...and it's always "tomorrow...tomorrow...tomorrow" (Life's Brief Candle)! :(
ReplyDeleteYou should do one, too!!!! Let me know if you do! I have the habit of putting things off as well so I totally understand :)
DeleteYoga trance dance- sounds amazing. I used to participate in / facilitate the Gabrielle Roth "Wave" (5 rhythms) back in the 90s; I miss stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to google that :) Sounds fun!!!! I hope to post more about Yoga Trance Dance - I bought the DVD years ago and refer back to it every once and a while but there are some neat YouTube Videos on it as well :)
DeleteCool idea +Jennifer Bliss for keeping a weekly list of goals. I find that setting the goals daily keeps me grounded in today and having a plan for the week is a good idea too. Saw you blog at the "Healthy, Happy, Green & Natural Party Hop #43”

DeleteGreat idea starting with simpler goals and very cool on the articles! I've been wanting to get into yoga too and will hopefully actually do it soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteI was only able to do yoga once this past week...this week I am shooting for 2 or 3 sessions at home :)
DeleteSounds like you are a very productive person! Love your goals list. I have a check list of things to do each day - I love getting everything done by the end of the day =)
ReplyDeleteI love #3 on your list for this week! It's so true that we seem to find more time to complain than to appreciate.
Gosh! I wish! I am trying, tho! LOL
ReplyDeleteI try and do the thank you emails but I have slacked...I need to do more. I hope to post this weeks list today :)
