Goals

I want to set goals.  Actual Goals. Attainable realistic goals that I will pursue wholeheartedly.



Dawn from my dock with ducks

I am going to start with the sunrise.  I want to, everyday, as soon as I get up, walk outside onto my dock with Jackson and look out at the sun coming up from the East.  Take a breath and just stand there without thinking about my day or past days.

Along side of that, I want to meditate. Thanks to my sister, I now have a hands on meditation guide to start me off this week.  She asked me to do it every day for this entire upcoming week, so this will be a good jump start to my goal of meditating at least 3 times per week, but I would like that to increase as time goes on.



I started the Whole Life Challenge on Saturday, and I would really like to excel at it.  Right now both of my sisters are kicking my butt, but I would like to really make a conscious decision to follow the rules and get lots of points. Only 52 more days.


See, I'm making progress
Yoga has been so great for me.  I know it was a past goal, and I have done well at it. Done well at going, but as Mark Knowles keeps reminding us during class, "You have to push harder, go farther, and be stubborn about it." I'm not going there to 'get flexible', I really want to get more out of it. More for my mind and spirit.




I would like to stop eating cookies for dinner.  They are not a good source of vitamins or minerals.





Sunrise is so simply complex
 
 Starting with these seems reasonable.  Let's see how I do.
