OMG! What a broad term, goal setting. It almost has this ominous feel to it – who else is slightly terrified of the start of the new year?! I know it’s not just me! So, I love Rachel Hollis’ approach to the last 90 days of the year being the time that you get sh*t done, break old habits, and start in on forming new, more positive routines, BUT it’s now 2 days shy of December and you’re still feeling stuck!
For me, the only way I can actually get things done is to physically write them down! I have about 32,004 notebooks and scratch pads around my house all with varying amounts of doodles, to do lists, and goals. Somehow I stumbled upon my notebook with the list of goals I made for 2018 – y’all… First of all, looking back on me just one year ago I think “man, did I think so lowly of myself that I could ONLY help X amount of people or make X amount of money?!” and second, I am so incredibly proud of myself for being able to cross off the goals that I accomplished in this year!One of those points is NOT how I want to feel at the end of 2019 when looking through my list of goals for that year. Ding, ding, ding; you guessed it – the initial point! When writing these goals I didn’t think lowly of myself, I was aiming for the unattainable (or so Ithought). How did I turn this amazing, positive accomplishment into a negative, self-loathing feeling?! Ugh!
I am challenging myself at the end of this year, in just one short month to not only come up with a kick ass list of goals for 2019 but to shower myself with kindness, grace and understanding for the goals I’ve accomplished in 2018 and for those I have yet to accomplish.
Okay, so this isn’t what I had in mind for today’s post but this is what was on my heart sooooo THIS is what I’m posting!
