I’m over extending in hundreds of directions! I am compulsive about making the world a better place by offering my martial art mindset, wisdom, and knowledge to others via my blogging. At times, I lose sight of the very thing I profess to others, and that is to make every day count. This has always been a goal, but I do lose sight of it. I love martial arts, the benefits they provide both physically and mentally. I’m an avid writer and positive thinker.
Achievements
I have lost five pounds. I have increased my blogging efforts and have increased my outreach through blogging. I’ve tried not to skip a workout, to each better, and cut down on caffeine!
I’ve had a successful year writing and my blogging has become a cornerstone to my life. It accomplishes my desire to be a writer and to help people and to share information and insights on martial arts. I try to stay fit and healthy. Sleep deprivation is occasionally an issue, but I’ve been working on that too!
Prioritised Goals
1. Losing Weight/body fat
I gave up candy and desserts, which were a small indulgence/downfall. I also gave up excessive caffeine intake and I continue to work out.
Benchmarks – How would I know I achieved this goal?
- Drop a few pounds by the end of the month
2. Gaining more muscularity
I have been diligent about 2 weight workouts a week, but need to up that to achieve better results.- While it is not as easy in my 50’s as it was in my 20’s, I have always lifted some weights so keeping diligent will help with muscle memory.
Benchmarks – How would I know I achieved this goal?
- Improvement in muscle tone which will be visually appreciated
3. Making every day count
I get caught up in the many tasks and forget to appreciate simplicity. I will take at least ten minutes each day to reflect, meditate, or do nothing.
Benchmarks – How would I know I achieved this goal?
- I will try to keep a cryptic chart or note of when I take my ten minute retreat each day and try to make it a habit.
