Well Hi There! :)

So I haven't been writing much in here, mostly because it didn't seem like anyone was reading, and I didn't have that much to say about stuff. I'll try to start writing a bit more though :)
Therapy is going GREAT and I am working on so many things... but I will have to save the long update for another time.

Right now I am preparing for a two hour session that is going to start two hours from now... this is going to be a goal-setting session. We'll be talking about what goals I have, breaking them down, and making an action plan for them.

I'm supposed to do a little bit of thinking about these goals and then she'll help me take it further... so I just wanted to make a little list here of the goals I am already aware of. Hopefully she'll help me think of even more, too :)

This year's health goals:

- Develop exercise as a daily habit, working out every weekday and doing recreational activity on weekends. She has already told me she thinks I can only reach my health goals if I create exercise as a daily habit (with rest when needed of course), especially because I stay home and I'm so sedentary.

- Within that goal, I want to get a little more specific. I want my activities to be varied, and I also want to make sure I do strength training - something I have never done on a consistent basis even when I exercised (cardio) regularly.

- I want to improve my cooking skills, and learn to feel less stressed by meal planning and grocery shopping.

- Cook more, eat out less.

- I want to add more whole foods into my diet, and eat less processed foods.


This year's career/financial goals:

- Finish all of my schooling and get into the web design business

- More immediately, I need to start incorporating ebay sales into my life on a monthly or weekly basis, to bring in some money that I can pay off bills with.

- Continue with the freebie blog I started (a 3-4x per week commitment), keeping in mind my future goal which is:

- In the next year or two I want to start a video-based tutorial website for Digital Scrapbooking that will bring in revenue on a per-item or subscription basis, plus advertising space potential


Personal Enrichment Goals:

- Continue making time for digital scrapbooking on a regualr basis, it brings me joy

- Keep up on taking care of myself through massage, mani/pedi, etc hopefully on a monthly basis

- Keep up on household chores so that I don't feel bad when things pile up and I don't enjoy my surroundings

- Plan things with my husband for weekends where we get out and do things, at least once a month. Things such as going up to the mountains, getting out for a walk or hike together, going to museums downtown, whatever it might be. While he may not be up to it every weekend, once a month is a good place to start.


Alright so that's what I have! Now that I spell it out, it sounds like a lot. I look forward to her helping me break it down :) Will be back soon to update on how this session goes!
