What Are Your Goals For 2011

[amethist]

What are your goals for 2011, not resolutions as they are usually too rigid for anyone to try and stick to. Goals are anything you can aim to achieve over the next year, something that would help make your life better, even in the smallest way.

It does not matter what it is, it can be anything from doing the washing up as it appears, not letting the post pile up, but dealing with it as it drops through the letter box, to being to go out everyday without getting in a flap about it. Even the simplest of things can change our lives for the better.

My goal is to go out into the fresh air more, go walking in the local woods, along the river bank and the canal path, to watch the changes as the seasons change. I was told last year that if I went out and got back to nature, I would feel loads better. So that is this years goal, but also to encourage my husband to go with me. I have sat and thought about where to go, and found at least 4 places to start at, all within 5 to 20 minutes walk away from our house.

Let's see how many different simple goals we can all think of.

I'd like to re start aqua aerobics which I haven't been to since breaking my neck. Once a week will be a start. Also to phone friends to meet for coffee. I was becoming a recluse, these small steps should help.
Great post
Thanks

Firstly I would like to say that I agree that being in nature is good for the body and soul. Secondly sounds like you have some nice places on your door step as it where, you must live somewhere really nice :)

My goal for 2011 is to get myself a good job maybe even go one step further and get something I can call a career :)
Im setting that as my goal as I believe that I can achieve that one goal.

I want to screw up the courage to become more engaged with the world in 2011. To get out and make contact with people I know. The more I've isolated in the last couple of years, the fewer calls I get from people who used to want to do stuff with me before my real troubles began. I think they are still there for me, but at this point it looks like I'll have to be the one to initiate the contact.

It's a hard thing, since one of my main problems is that I tell myself that I'm completely unlikeable and that anybody who agrees to spend time with me is doing it out of pity. I have made some progress in recovery, and this looks like the next logical step for me. Scary, though.

1. Lose weight (mass) so that I am closer to 140 lbs.

2. Save $5000.

Those are my biggies. I want to improve my physical and financial health. I will also continue to work on my emotional health. I may start going back to group.

I suppose my resolutions and goals are the same.

 

[Death]

To collect more souls than last year :D

Oh Death, so sorry to hiss on your bonfire. Unfortunately here are none going spare on here for the foreseeable future

Now be a good bag of bones and go look else where. :p

To cheat Death. AGAIN. 

Take 12 photos on the 12th day of every month. To ride 35 miles on my bike. To do my art at least once a week. To be the speaker at our local speaker meeting. To get three blogs set up for professor friends. To add PHP/MySQL to my skillset. To play games with my children and enjoy it without freaking out. To invite friends over every other Friday. To read all the books in my book club. To finish DBT. To stop firing my T. in my head every week.  To help a candidate I believe in get elected. To begin a PTSD Support Group. To take my kids camping. To eat more green food. To testify against my ex and get him a longer sentence. To make a new connection with a 2nd cousin who wasn't a part of my life growing up. To do one scrapbook page a month. To take my kids swimming 2 times a month.

To embrace gold frivolously.

To start exercising again but not let it control me.

To keep working on thought processes and focus more on life enjoyment/socializing

To budget.

I'm a tiny bit of a control freak & busyaholic. :P
