I decided to make goals for 2015 that are ACHIEVABLE and REALISTIC. Everyone has different goals and different ways of achieving them. ( yes I know most people set up goals in January but its NEVER to late to make goals for yourself!!!) I challenge each of you to make goals for yourself and try everyday to reach them.
There are different ways to achieve goals and I want to name just a few:
1. Write your goals down! This way you can see them, keep yourself motivated and challenged to reach your goals. If you see them they are gentle reminders to stay focused and to just remember a month later what you want to accomplished!
2. Dream Big!! Challenge yourself! Try something new, make a new hobby, do something that you have always wanted to do. When you are making a goal that is long term make smaller goals inside of that goal! Keep yourself motivated to reach that big goal by making smaller goals and reaching them! Check those smaller goals off when you reach them.
3. Think realistically!! Don’t make goals that you know you wont reach. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dream big!! Always dream big!! Smaller goals inside of larger goals help you to stay on track and help reach that DREAM!
4. Track your progress! You are more likely to reach your goals if you can see how far you have come since you started! Plus it keeps you motivated to see how far you can go!
5. HAVE CONFIDENCE in yourself to make your dreams a reality! Don’t hold yourself back…You are your biggest obstacle to get over. Go for your dreams!
In challenging you to write down and chase your goals and dreams I want to do the same. So here goes!
Read my scriptures every day! I always want to invite the spirit of Lord to be with me and by saying my prayers and reading my scriptures everyday I can achieve this easily!
This blog! I started blogging a couple years ago and would get write once every few months. I want to change that! I want to write about something at least once a week… something that I did, something that happened, a recipe that I tried, a craft that was done, something that has inspired me! So in making this goal I renamed and redesigned my blog to Scribbles and Sketches! In keeping with the name I want to add pictures, something that I sketched out and add it along with the post.
Draw more! I want to start drawing again. In the game of life we all face we get busy with work, school, obligations, family and so many other things that sometimes we forget or say we don’t have the time to do the things we love!
Be more crafty!! I want to continue to learn and teach myself how to crochet and now also learn how to knit! There are so many things that I could make if I just took the time to figure out what to make and then make it! But I want to do more than just crochet and knit. I want to do other crafty things as well. This is also something that I can do with my mom and sisters!
I want to get into shape! I just want to be more physically active. This is something that I work on while at work (for the time being) and also at home. Just going on walks or doing yoga is a great way to do this. I don’t always have to go down to the gym and do a work out.
Try new recipes! Make new recipes! Find recipes from other people! I LOVE cooking and want to experiment and try new things.
Be more organized! Write down appointments, make lists of things to do for the day.
Coupon more! I love looking at the ads and seeing what’s on sale and then getting and even better deal because I have a coupon for that item. Its fun to see how much you can save (side note: I am not an extreme couponer!)
Challenge and inspire yourself! Go for your dreams!
