Goals for 2013

Yes I realize it is only September, but I have already started setting my personal goals for 2013.  I'm not a big New Year's resolution fan.  There's just something about setting a goal at the same time as the rest of the world that doesn't sit well with me.  Instead I like to set personal and professional goals for myself throughout the year. 

The goals I set for myself for 2012 were: to learn to love my outside body as much as I loved who I am inside, to continue to work out and finish losing a certain amount of weight, to be brave and step outside of my comfort zone and to do yoga and Pilate's.  For the most part, I did really good with my goals.  I did learn to love my outside body as much as I love who I am inside.  I started yoga and Pilate's and LOVED it!  I was brave and I did step outside of my comfort zone.  I did not finish losing weight.  As I mentioned in my previous post, I ended up gaining 10 pounds.  All in all, I've had a successful 2012.

I've done a lot of thinking and praying recently and here are some of the goals I've set for myself for 2013 (though I've already started working on them now):
  1. To start running.  Yes running.  I've only ever run when fight or flight kicked in.  Running for enjoyment is totally foreign to me.  It looks nice when I see others running, so here's to hoping I don't get chased by random dogs and survive. 
  2. To get closer to God.  I feel like all relationships need work to survive and this includes spiritual ones as well.
  3. To spend more time on me.  By this I mean listening to my true feelings and emotions and honoring them.  Also working through different courses that help me to learn more and grow.
  4. To read more.  There are currently 71 books on my Barnes & Nobles wish list.  I buy one and add three it seems.
  5. To be more vulnerable and brave.  No one wants to be vulnerable, but that's when life's greatest moments happen.
What are your goals for 2013?


Until Next Time,
