WOL - Setting Goals

This is definitely the most difficult part of this exercise.  Yesterday was all artsy and colourful, today is stark reality.  I mean, it's one thing to realize where you need to focus some of your attention, but quite another thing to actually do it in a meaningful way.  So here goes.

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.
