Powerful goal-setting!

On the Sunday after Thanksgiving I get together every year with a few people, to begin planning the year ahead for shared adult playdates. I then share some of the goals I have for our fun outings. But before I do that I begin All my goals and fun date planning by envision what kind of year I wish to have through 2010 and beyond. Everything I plan, set up as a goal or do must support that vision or I don't do it. I have so little time I have to make sure that all areas of my life are supported, which means that I have very little time for spontaneously planned events.

Anywho, back to my vision...
During the quiet late nights after thanksgiving, as I was trimming my holiday tree, I began thinking about what kind of woman I wanted to evolve into; what kind of experiences I wanted to have; what kind of things I wanted to do and the kinds of things I wanted to have in my life! The following is what evolved:

My Vision of myself is of a healthy, fit me that sees herself not only well proportioned, but finds herself as incredibly beautiful woman with sexy curves and whose self-confidence is evident from the self-love that radiates brilliantly from her divine source within.

OUW! All the goals that I contemplated thereafter and that actually went into my goal list had to do with me becoming the best possible: woman, mother, friend, sister, mentor, employee, community person, supervisor, etc. Here's a few goals I set for myself, in the present/actualized voice. I put them on pretty paper on my fridge, on my tv, and on my computer screens at work and home. Following my goals I have put the powerful reasons why I wish to accomplish them.

Last year I accomplished 80% of my goals. Midway through the year I realized I had to many and that some I had to put off till this year. Still, not bad for a busy, single parent and community member that always has time for friends and loved ones.

Main focus and over-arching theme: Experiencing A Year of Love & JOY!

Telling myself everyday "I LOVE YOU!" – everything begins and ends with me, and I love it when the Universe loves me!

Telling my beloved son ”I Love YOU!” everyday – so he can experience the love of the divine through me!

Ensuring I get 8 hours of restful beauty sleep so I can smile and look fabulous even when I don't have clothes on!

Exercising 4x/week a minimum of 30 min each time doing all the exercises I love - so I can show my body how much its truly loved!!! & I can keep my body primed for all the adventures the Universe has for me – woohoo!

Giving my body nutritiously delicious foods that will energize, heal and make me feel vibrant! - because you are and definitely feel what you eat!

Engaging in spontaneous acts of love towards all my loved ones – so they can feel how greatly loved they are by me and the universe. Because an angel did this for me and it changed my life! & I am a radiating center of Divine love.

Finding the fun, sweet, kind, laughable and compassionate side of all situations - because that's a more joyful way to approach life!

Sharing my inner joy through kind acts and the sharing of fun and laughter – because when I make others smile or laugh it comes back to me exponentially, and I SO LOVE to laugh!
