February goals for 2013

Where to begin? I know it’s not just me that constantly has too many goals. But it seems like others accomplish theirs. I think I’d feel better about my goals if I didn’t seem like I always fail. I am still overweight, I only exercise in bursts, my house is not organized completely….Sigh… My One Little Word for this year is ADAPT. I am not sure how I can set a goal for that though. I’ll have to think on that some more. I guess if I make it through the year without a stay at Western State I’ll have succeeded! I have been inspired by the book “The Happiness Project”. I will be working on some of her ideas this year. Already I have tried (albeit briefly) to show more appreciation, just do it, and be Karen. But the decluttering and tackling tough projects seems overwhelming to me. I think it will have to be a year long project for me too, and I guess it’s really a lifelong project. Well If I have learned nothing in my 50+ years it’s that every day is a new beginning! And I can accomplish anything with baby steps!! So I guess I will start with some baby goals. **Walk at least 28 miles this month – aim for walking 5 days a week. **Cut my portions by a 3rd, eat mindfully and a bit less. **Spend 15 minutes 2 times a day to tackle tough chores, de-cluttering , bills, phone calls etc. Just Do It!!! **Complete a LO every day for LOAD!! OK I am stopping there! **I will also try to show gratitude and appreciation as much as I can! Now really I’ll stop…and go finish this LO! February 4th, 2013 (Would be my Mother in law’s birthday and also the 30th anniversary of the week I met my husband!) I wrote this for ascrapbook page but thought I should save it elsewhere too, so here it is!
