I am currently completing goal setting tasks, implementing lifestyle changes and finding my personal power.
I am inviting you along for the journey - I aim to complete one task a day for the next month... I say I aim to as I work 12 hour shifts, and blah blah blah excuses. It is going to take a mighty effort on my behalf to complete all the tasks I have set myself. But I am always up for a challenge!
***Day 1*** Finding motivation and momentum. Write down two decisions or tasks I have been putting off - AND DO THEM!
Just do something I have been putting off.. Start today.
Once I have decided what my two actions are - I will do something immediately towards making them happen.
Never leave the site of a decision without taking steps to make it happen - otherwise you'll lose motivation and convince yourself you'll just do it later.
**Decision One**
**Health and Diet**
I have been sick for about 3.5 weeks. The dreaded flu (in the middle of summer!!?). My weight loss was going well before this. However since being inactive for so long I have started to put weight back on.
Decision one is to get back on the wagon and start my exercise routine again. In fact I think it is time to up the work load in the gym and go to the next level.
I have two books I need to read / research through to create a new program. One is a nutrition book and the other a weight training. I will schedule time to complete this research.
I also have the CSIRO audio book of Total Well being Diet to listen to. I will schedule this in.
I think I also have to streamline my food and exercise diary to make it quicker and easier.
And I need to monitor the funds to see if I can afford a personal trainer for a month or two and get myself exercising at a new level. Plus the benefit of having a trainer is that he/she will teach me half the stuff I feel I need to currently research and save me time!
After today's blog I will move immediately to the audio book.
Later this afternoon I will start on the nutrition book.
I will go to the gym today.
**Decision Two**
**Writing Career**
Since primary school I have been waiting to become a writer. The classic procrastinator and the classic - never succeed attitude of 'waiting' for it to magically happen.
Well no more 'one-day' - no more 'it would be nice but....' - NO MORE EXCUSES - 2009 is the year.
Success is mine in 2009!!!
Today I will find a course to start. Today I will find a way to learn the skills I need to make this career a reality.
Today I will start a way to measure my writing success.
I will start a writing diary - a diary much like my food and exercise diary. I will record the reading I have completed for the day (I believe reading is a must for any good writer). And I will record the amount of words I have written for the day (and /or the amount of minutes I have written for).
I found with the food and exercise diary - it is a great way to keep focused and motivated. For me it is also a great way to inspire a healthy competitiveness with myself... Well yesterday I burnt 300 calories in the gym - today I want to do 500.
Hopefully it will be the same. Yesterday I wrote 1000 words. Today I will write 1200!..
Today I will buy and start a writing diary.
Today I will find a course to start my writing career.
New schedule and new life here I come.
What are two things you have been putting off - why don't you join me and make a change?
