This month my goals are going to be a little different. They are going to focus more on changing attitudes and fostering a positive outlook. When I originally started the personal goals I tried to focus more on "process" rather than having an end result or finished product. I have enough "to do" lists as it is...LOL. So this month I am going to try to put a "process" twist on the whole goal list and see how that might or might not change things.
Marriage: Foster a more respectful attitude. Even when I get frustrated and annoyed.
Family: Evaluate climate in our home. Work toward calm, supportive, and nurturing.
Friends: Develop and positive and strengths based tone to emails, discussions, and exchanges (not just venting)
Self: Practice self talk and meditation focused on finding inner peace and calmness.
Home: Comtinue decluttering and develop a calm, simplified home
Work: Foster a positive, dynamic attitude toward problems. Let go of those that can not be changed.
Hobbies: Create a better work space. Buy lamps for extra lighting and continue to declutter. MAKE something...anything!!! Have fun with the process...don't worry about the end result.
Spiritual: Cultivate a "renewal in spirit" attitude. Each day is a fresh start!
As you can see most of these do not have a hold in your hand end product. That is because lately I have not been making much progress toward my goals and when I reflected on them I realized that my life had become just another "to do list" and while there is nothing wrong with that it just was not supporting change. I kept carrying the same things over and over. So changing approaches seemed like a good place to start.
