Goal Setting

Last summer, I started a series called Why I Run with the intent to offer encouragement for remembering and honoring the seed of want when we do the things that drive us the most. Well, I run to accomplish goals. Goal setting helps me to face and barrel through the anxiety of self worth and ensures my life is value-filled.
Whether I'm:

 running parenting writing cooking paying bills reorganizing praying self caring marketing

Trying to be a better nicer honest person

I set goals.

Here are my goal setting steps:

                                            Reward self for every accomplished goal. 

                                      Divide large goals into accomplish-able steps.

                              Make space and time for improvement.

                      Create a mantra out of the goal.

              Visualize the goal.

      Make the goal a challenge worth accomplishing.

Set a realistic goal.

In other words...

I will set a goal that I know with hard work I can accomplish. 

The goal is within my means and does not go beyond into the world of fantasy and fairy tale. 

The goal will take me on a  journey that I will grow from and into. 

I will pray and meditate about this goal. 

I will speak positive thoughts within myself. 

If I mess up, I won't beat myself up. Instead, I will re-group, realign and keep moving forward. 

I will concentrate on making one step at a time and not be overwhelmed about the journey ahead.

When I reach my goal, I will congratulate myself and indulge in a job well done.
