Have you set your goals for 2012 yet? Some of you have. Some are still pondering. I have a great suggestion for how to proceed…steps.
Establish your long-term goals and then break them down into smaller steps. A chart would be helpful especially if you are a visual learner.
If you want to increase your income, establish a small step of a manageable amount. Then a larger goal, and so on. An example would be an extra $25 per month then after a few months, $50 per month…
Make sure to chart your progress. It helps to keep you motivated.
Do you want to eat less red meat? Set a smaller goal and then move on to an intermediate goal, then a larger goal. Set a long-term goal to be red meat free in 6 months or 1 year. Whatever goal is reasonable to you.
What if you need to bring down your blood pressure? How about bringing up your good cholesterol level? Do you want to quit smoking?
Your goals are up to you! Do you need a reward at the end? Be reasonable. Don’t celebrate “no red meat” by having a steak!
Small, reachable steps. Intermediate goals. Long-term goals. This is very personal so try not to allow anyone else decide what you need.
This is a high energy time in all of our lives! Let’s make the most of this giant energy push that God is giving us.
Bring more art, reading, painting, writing, and other self-pleasing activites into your life.
Be the BEST role model for everyone around you. The year 2012 is a challenge to some and a springboard to others.
My Best to You, Always,
Evelyn

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
