You'll remember that I was low in career, spirituality, health, and creativity. So for each of these categories, I am going to start with 2 goals (I'd rather start off small and achieve my goals, than to be disappointed by trying to do too much, or I'm lazy, not sure which).
CAREER:
1. Go out and snap some photos (with an eye to improving technique) at least one session per week.
2. Write a novel by June 30, 2013 (final draft).

SPIRITUALITY:
1. Start a weekly practice of gratitude, recording what has made me thankful during the past week. This might be good to incorporate into the art journal I am going to start (see the creativity category).
2. Daily meditation, starting with just 5 minutes a day.

HEALTH:
1. Daily yoga, even if it's only 10 minutes.
2. More water, less tea and wine. Put some lemons or limes in the water to make it more fun. Buy a pretty glass pitcher.

CREATIVITY:
1. Start creating daily morning pages (as per Julia Cameron of The Artist's Way fame).
2. Create an art journal using Tickled Pink's tutorial as a starting point.

First, I have to say how impressed/shocked I am to say that you're going to write a novel! Wow! Talk about dreaming big! You go, girl!
I've been thinking about this since your post yesterday. Don't think I can comment on what I want to do about Spirituality yet, but I've already started working on health (lost 12 pounds!). The hard one for me is relationships~~too busy working, too hyper-focused on things that I should let go of.....that's what I want to work on. Thanks for making me 'narrow it down'.
Yay for you--writing a novel!!! This comes as no surprise as I believe I'd read you have won awards for your work in the recent past. Go for it!!!
I would love to hear about your experiences with art journaling--hope you'll share!
Regarding my May goals, well many of them are related to personal growth (reading at least 2 non-fiction's per mo.), carving out time for artist's dates, joining Toastmaster's, etc. Fun, but good-for-me stuff. ;)
Thanks for the inspirations, Terry! T.
OK....I'll share. But setting some realistic goals is gonna take me a little bit. Here's my first goal......Share my goals by tomorrow morning! (I'm a homework procrastinator.)
Great! I wish you all the success in your indeavors! You can do it! Hi Terry, stopped by to visit and say hello! Hugs
Hmmm, I'm not sure I can set multiple goals for multiple categories without overwhelming myself. I think it's good to have a final aim of where you're headed (since that's what goal-setting is, after all), but I might map out one category in full, then just a first step to begin improving the rest I want to work on. Otherwise it's going to be a pretty long list, LOL. I better go have a heart-to-heart with my wheel and see what it has to say!
I need to read up on this and get started! Just dropped by to let you know that I just nominated you for The Versatile Blogger award. Check it out at http://cupcakeloveaffair.blogspot.com/2012/05/another-award-im-versatile-blogger.html. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Way to go, writing your own novel!!! I'll commit to two goals... 5 mins of trying to meditate and try to do at least one household chore each day.
I'm a little behind on my wheel (finally making it today!) but I will share as soon as I get it finished!
