A friend gave me a book on setting goals. A workbook really, with space for me to set 4 goals, and write down every day for 4 months how I do towards them. Well, I haven't read it carefully yet. I think this is what it is.
You start listing 50 goals, the brainstorming technique. So I have been thinking of goals to try on.
Loose weight. I know that is the one all women seem to want, but I really need to. Gained 35 pounds in last 2 years. It will come off.
Get healthy. This means exercising, building up stamina.
Build community. Maybe this is more a strength of mine, not a goal?
Be still, spending time with God.
Put more fun in each day. Do fun things. Comedy movies, books. Laugh with friends.
Be adventurous. Do new things. Try new things.
Do things I want to do, not that I think I should do. I do not mean shirking responsibility. I mean don't say yes to a social event because I think I should. Do what I want to do.
The heart of these things is being pro-active for my physical and spiritual health. Treating myself as inherently valuable. Just be patient, listen to what works for me. It's a balance. So then I can be of service to others.
I have all sorts of ideas, but I don't know if others will like them? A birthday lunch group of women who celebrate each others' birthdays. An adventure group that does something new each Friday, like bowling, Morse Museum, hike. A traveler's group, that spends a half day a month being a tourist right here in Central Florida. A movie group, meeting at my house Friday afternoon to watch chick flicks. A weekend at an Author's convention. Or a writing weekend somewhere to write our family history in short stories. Weekend yoga retreat? Why not?
I have had to cancel two fun getaways this month because of health. I've been trying.
Need to trust that His timing is perfect. Because it is...
