That's right. They don't have to be achievable.
Rather, I ask, "What are my top 10 goals for the year IF I AM GUARANTEED TO SUCCEED?" It frees me up to work on things I might not otherwise do, like finding a pair skating partner. Then I commit to taking one step toward one of those goals each week.
Generally, I take a lot of little steps towards several of the goals, especially since several of them revolve around skating.
So, here's what I did last week . . .
- Pass my Silver moves (yes, this means passing bronze moves first). I skated TWICE. Andrew was there and gave me some extra help and by golly, it really felt like I was figure skating again.
- Take a vacation with Carl. I forgot our anniversary. It's not 'til next Saturday, so technically, I didn't forget it, but I did forget to take time off. To make it up to him, we have planned a getaway for Valentine's Day. It's not a full vacation, but it is one night by ourselves.
- Have a baby. When you screw up as badly as I did this week, working on this goal helps a lot to smooth things over.
- Lose 30 pounds. I committed to doing at least 10 minutes of exercise every day. This week I added The Gift of Yoga, a gift given to me by our roommate.
