Replace Junk with Amazingness <~click here
‘The only constant is change,’ I’ve heard it said… As an army wife, I can attest to that.
Hoo-rah.
Over a year ago my friend Susan and I made a cross-country pact to each other. ‘Replace junk with amazing-ness.’ If you are familiar with Susan Powers’ work over at Rawmazing, you know that she has been doing just that! Not only does she have an amazing offering of luscious, health inducing, gourmet recipes all created in her own kitchen, she also has a Rawmazing cookbook on it’s way to press.
Many of my own issues, goals and dreams had to be put on ice while our family made several life changes over the last several months. Change happens… by nature, I tend to resist…
After our second cross-country move in a little over a year, we are now relatively settled and I am ready for action!
Personally, I was surprised to realize that 2010 is half over! Where should I start?
New state, new friends, new church, new grocery stores and malls. New opportunities! (Can I get an amen if you’ve been there recently?)
~~If you haven’t taken the time recently to chart where you are headed, just jump right on in with me… Here is an 1-2-3 action plan for a successful second half:
Essential Life Reset 101:
- Set Goals by Area of Life (Business, Family, Finances, Friends, Health, Home, Leisure, Projects, Recreation, Spirituality, Travel, Work) Brainstorm as many things in each category as you can dream up. Translate these ideas, then to:
- Goals By Month by highlighting which ideas you want to get started on immediately. Break these down further by planning what you need to do to move toward each goal in the upcoming week:
- Goals & Achievements for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday… (you get the idea) It’s important to have a place for writing down both goals AND achievements for reference the following week.
Some of the goals I decided to work on right now:
- Get the house fully settled from moving here last Month (Painting/ eliminating)
- Becoming incredibly money savvy (budget/ investment)
- Getting the word out locally about my coaching (advertisement/ events)
- Getting my diet back on target (releasing a few pounds, too!)
I’d love to hear what goals you are working on! Please feel free to share and we can encourage each other
Blessings!
