JANUARY GOALS

This year I plan on linking up with Haley Morgan each month to share my goals.  Nothing keeps you accountable like telling the entire internet you’re going to do something, am I right?

This January I will:

1. Plan meals each week–especially work lunches and snacks, which are always a ridiculous struggle for me. (see this post for more on my sad lunches)

2. Reach out to a few college friends I’ve lost touch with.

3. Go on more dates with Jon.  We need to make an effort to do fun things together outside of the usual Sprouts, Target, bank, & post office runs and the occasional trip to the movies.

4. Take at least one carload of stuff to Goodwill.  One way I’m pursuing FREEDOM this year is by making my home a clear, open space, free of clutter. It helps keep the anxious away. And, it just looks nicer.

5. Fill out and use my PowerSheets.  To be honest, I’ve filled out only the first few pages. I’ve sat and stared at them a lot.  They kind of scare me.  Dreaming big dreams is one thing, but making an action plan with practical, doable steps to achieve them, which means they might actually happen? Oy vey.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.” ― Marianne WilliamsonA Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

What are your goals for January?  Does the idea of setting small, monthly goals feel less daunting to you (like it does to me) than setting big, yearly goals?
