Weekly Check in!! Week 1

March 6, 2013 By

Well in the spirit of keeping with Goal #1 here is my weekly post.  I thought (and to be honest) it is easiest to comment on the standing on how I am doing with my 3 goals, and the 6 week target.

Well I am writing and posting, albeit an easy post with only subjective info, I am keeping with what I defined in goal 1.  So one check mark for me…

As for Goal 2…not such a great news…Honest I have had 0 headway on this, and I have not really even thought about it over the last week.  I have however thouight about my business and what kind of things that I am wanting to do.  But that was not the goal, so that one earns me a huge X.

On to Goal 3 which is my wishy washy goal, the one that is completely subjective.  Being true to me, and taking care of me above all else.  The good news is that I have taken time everyday to do something for my self, be it read, go to the gym, play a game, laugh. cry, whatever….everyday I have done something just for me…on the down side I have not been tracking it as I said I would, I have not done the journal at all, which is something I need to do.

Well all said and done, these 3 goals have lasted longer then the average New Years Resolution, but I am a long way away from achieving them.

Thanks for holding me accountable to my goals….

Goal 3 of 3

February 28, 2013 By

Goal #3

  1. To more true to myself, and not allow for others to dictate my Place  (like my other goal, I have also written out this goal on a sticky note and posted where I can see it on a regular basis).
  2. I have told anyone who comes across the blog, along with my family  members to remind me of this goal.
  3. This goal is feeling based, and I do not necessarily know if it is tangible, as it is so subjective (that is why It is a  6 week experiment).
  4. I can judge as to the way things are going based on attitude and feeling.
  5. Plan to complete a daily journal to gauge the feelings and thoughts of the day, as well it will give me a reference point to look back on.

Let the 6 week Goal Experiment Begin….

Writing for Writing

February 25, 2013 By

It has been a few weeks since I last sat down to write something for my blog.  I  think that is important to keep the brain working even if  there is difficulties in the way.  I find it so easy to not  come to the site and pretend that it was not one of the things that I said I would do for myself.  Why is  that?  As a mom of 2 busy kids and a wife of a business busy husband, why do I always seem  to let the stuff I want to do fall  through the cracks.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining (well not completely).  I have things fairly easy in that I don’t have to worry about a 9-5 job along with all the other stuff.  As an example, my husband hits me today with…”I hope it is okay for me to be away for the next 6 weeks…”  What am I going to say … He and his business are the main support of our lifestyle, and I know that if given the option he would stay, but really 6 weeks.  I have a complete appreciation for single parents.  But the question  then comes back to how do you stay on task, when you are being pulled in 10 different directions.

Here is my plan…

  1. Take things one thing at a time…there is no reason sweating small stuff.  I cannot change how things are, but I do have a say as to how I feel about them.
  2. Make time…. I  know it sounds silly, but I have started to schedule time to get things done  that I need done, or that I want to do. (like writing on my blog, working on My business, or just taking time for me).
  3. Keep perspective…. I have to remember that although it might feel like I am on my own, I am not…I have a wonderful support system, and I cannot be afraid to use them.
  4. Don’t get bogged down… If you need to take a break from something take it.  Fighting it is a waste of energy, and hard on ones psyche.  Once you start feeling defeated  it is so much harder to keep the focus.
  5. Remember you are Important… It is easy to get caught up in family life going on around you, that it is even easier to forget that you are important too.  Your interests, your hobbies and your business is important…make YOU matter.

Keeping this 5 step plan in mind, my promise to myself (since I am the only one who reads my blog  :)) is…

  1. make 3 goals and post them to the blog
  2. write at least 1 new post every week for the next 6 weeks. (if not more)
  3. take some time for me. (go to the gym, get hair done, or just dress in real clothes everyday), and
  4. to ask for help when I need it.

I  will keep things posted

Wish me Luck….
