Goals 2006

Since 2004, I switched from resolutions to goals for the year. I find that if I make a list of 5 goals then I usually accomplish at least 3 or 4 of them. If I just have resolutions with no plan, than I accomplish nothing.

This year my goals have a theme....HEALTH.

1. Spiritual Health
Getting back into the Word. Daily reading and attending an organized Bible study. Finding a church that falls in line with my beliefs and attending regularly.

2. Physical Health
Learning to eat healthy. Exercising regularly. Drinking more water and less Diet Coke

3. Creative Health
Taking time to play. Letting go and realizing that it doesn't have to be perfect - experimenting. Taking classes.

4. Mental Health
Figure out why I tend to eat when stressed and what I can do about that. Learn to deal with the dark times in life. Try not to over-schedule and over-commit myself.

5. Healthy Family
Cook more. Make sure kids especially Megan are getting enough exercise.

At some point here, I am going to copy the Ali Edwards intention tin and put my goals on it. Keep it on my desk at work to remind me. Don't think I'm going to get to that today.
