Goals, they are great motivation, but sometimes we fall off, I did over these past couple of weeks. As my friend once said, when you're in the soup, you're in the soup. I mismanaged my body and caused major flares which inevitably caused a downward spiral both physically and mentally. It was my fault as sometimes my C self (stable, moderate, flexible) likes to push a little more towards that old A life (perfectionism, overachieving) which results in the messy unstable B life that I fought to get away from.
The article @sueinmn recently posted ties in to this approach of mind and body management. The good news is that even when I know disruption comes to my schedule and goals, I can and always will get back on the grind. Never be afraid to restart and give yourself grace.
My goals are simple for the week:
1. stick to my schedule of moderation, exercise and proper eating
2. don't let feelings drive the bus
What goals do you have today?
@rwinney Today I set a goal to pull some weeds that sprung up along the walkway. Got a kitty litter bucket full pulled! [What I want to know is why aren't these tender shoots eaten by the deer and squirrels, instead of my roses!!??] I'll let them dry out for pickup in next week's trash. It felt good to be in the winterish air and doing something productive. And a load of wash is going. Setting small goals and adapting as needed.
