Have any of you taken time to jot down a goal or two for this new year? I know that some say new year goals are highly over rated, but, a small goal is better than no goal at all. Remember in young women's when you had to have a goal for almost everything? Well, it has been found that make lots of little everyday goals and accomplishing them is a good thing. So I know that you all have the right training for this goal thing. I know that it is Wednesday already and the 4th of January. But you have an assignment.
Take a moment, perhaps while in the bathroom for 30-45 seconds, and think of one thing you want to accomplish regarding yourself in the next few days. It could be as simple as "get up on the first ring of the alarm clock each morning." Then go to work trying to do it. Take each day at a time, if you missed accomplishing it this morning, try for it again tomorrow morning. Maybe your goal for the week will be to drink X # of glasses of water today; or read 1 verse of scripture while in the bathroom each morning or after you get the kids off to school, etc. What ever works for you. Remember it's just a tiny little goal for one week. Write your goal on the blog here and then at the end of the week go back to your post and report on how you did. If you did it then awesome keep up the good work. If you didn't do it, did you accomplish it at least once during the week? Is it something you might want to work on again for a week and see if you improve? Do you need to add another goal or change the wording or action to the one you had last week?
We, as your support team, will praise you for whatever you are able to accomplish. In fact, I'll pause here for just a minute to give Jennifer a KUDOS for being a great mom. She stepped away from the situation, leaving her kids in a safe environment, and calmed down, and also allowed them to calm down. Good job Jennifer! This can be a good thing for her...practicing patience while disciplining her children. Any of you have a need to have this type of goal? Remember we are only working on ONE goal this week.
OK, here is my goal for the rest of this week. I'll report back on Monday most likely.
Read from the Book of Mormon each day. There it is that simple. No amount of time is listed for me because anything will be better than nothing.
So what's YOUR goal for the week?
Kudos to Jenny! That's hard to do.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for the rest of the week is to take my vitamins everyday. Doctor's orders, but I miss a day or two here and there. I must take them. It's hard to pick just one goal, there are so many I want to do and just have them be in my daily routine. I'm going to make a goal for Elora too, make sure she has her "poop gummy" everyday. It takes 14 days to make something a habit, ready set go.
