When I was a girl I played field hockey with the boys.(sigh) All I know about goals I learned there. A goal was something you let boys do and then you could hug them to congratulate them. Girls didnt try to get a goal because if you did the boys didn't hug you. In fact the opposite affect happened. They didn't like you or worse yet they ended the current game and didn't ask you back to play. It was as simple as that.
No one ever asked me what my goals were in life either. I was expected in the early 70's to find a husband by working at a bank or other public place. As fate would have it I met my husband in 1974 when I was 16 and married him in 1977. I didn't need any goals. I just followed where ever he leaded me. I am saying this not as a complaint about my life. But instead to offer proof that goal setting is not my strength.
So without knowing how to really set goals for myself, I am just going to bullet a few areas in my life that might need goals right now.
- mental health
- weight /physical health
- unemployment
- finances
- household organization
I am sure there are more areas of my life that need work but this is a good start. Not that I plan to gain control in all these areas all at once. I just wanted a list of areas noted as a goal sheet of sort. I am not hoping to win the Stanley Cup all at once. I just want to empower myself to have a goal of my own in mind from now on.
as always,
Trish
