Challenges

Sometimes we all get so busy with life we forget to live it. Jobs, family, pets, housework, yardwork, etc. Everyone and everything seems to demand our time and there’s nothing left for just me. I won’t even get into the procrastination I seem to easily do.
So I’m going to challenge myself with 2 goals this year. First is to get back into my 5 mm wetsuit which requires losing about 15 lbs. This will enable me to stay warmer doing one of my favorite activities – scuba diving. My second challenge will be to increase my body strength, in particular my arms/shoulders to help me control my shooting arm so I can advance to the next level in my competition pistol shooting. (note how both goals relate to things I like? That’s important).
Goals are good. They can keep you focused and give a sense of accomplishment when you met them. They are also good for scheduling ‘me time’ and not letting others rule your days. Just say ‘sorry, can’t do that, I have I to work on my goals’.
Pick 2 thing you want to accomplish next year, tell the world, then go do it. If you don’t get it completely done, no worries, just make sure it was because you who decided that, not someone else.
