Every year, I feel this refreshing sense of new beginnings. \u00a0It lends itself to a desire for more out of life. \u00a0Instinctively, I am pushed towards creating a list of impossible goals. \u00a0Then, I reel myself back in and settle on 11 attainable goals. \u00a0Like most, I tend to forget these goals, and I find myself yet again at the end of a year and at the beginning of another. \u00a0Inspired, I make another list which will be forgotten.<\/p>\n
However, this year, I am holding myself accountable to you: \u00a0the reader. \u00a0By putting this list on the ever-growing and privacy destroying internet, I am solidifying goals. \u00a0Hopefully, this will make me more driven to remember what it was I wanted. \u00a0How is it we forget what it is we want? \u00a0Easy: \u00a0seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.<\/p>\n
My List:<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Exercise. \u00a0How? \u00a03 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) cardio, 2 days a week, (Monday, Wednesday) strength and stretching. \u00a0I will give myself some flexibility due to being a mom.<\/p>\n
2. \u00a0Take one class (or read a blog) a week in photography. \u00a0The goal is to learn one thing I didn’t know, or I didn’t know how to do well.<\/p>\n
3. \u00a0Make one new dish a month. \u00a0I would say one new dish a week, but that’s pushing it.<\/p>\n
4. \u00a0Become a coupon clipper phenom. \u00a0I want to save as much money as I possibly can on food.<\/p>\n
5. \u00a0Keep a daily schedule. \u00a0I am already pretty good at this, but I want to get better.<\/p>\n
6. \u00a0Eat healthy. \u00a0I am TERRIBLE at drinking enough water. \u00a0If I could only drink 8 glasses a water a day, I would consider this a success on this goal.<\/p>\n
7. \u00a0Pick one month to photograph everyday. \u00a0nuff said.<\/p>\n
8. \u00a0Start a garden. \u00a0My husband and I want to start an organic garden this year. \u00a0We have tried this in the past, but this year, I’m going to plan better so it will be more fruitful.<\/p>\n
9. \u00a0Finish projects I keep putting off. \u00a0This goal in and of itself will keep me busy.<\/p>\n
10. \u00a0Work towards becoming completely debt free. \u00a0Just takes discipline.<\/p>\n
11. \u00a0The most important goal of all: \u00a0Do everything I can do, with God’s strength and wisdom, to be the best wife and mother I can be daily. \u00a0I want to focus on how I can serve my Lord, my husband, and my son by using the gifts God has given me.<\/p>\n
Ok….there it is. \u00a0I must say that I am extremely excited about this! \u00a0Now, the trick is to stay excited about it daily. \u00a0I’ll keep you posted. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
