When the month of December began, I created a list of goals for myself to try to achieve this month. I've never been a big individual on setting goals- they usually made me feel yucky and like a failure. But I decided to give it another shot from a positive light. I figured, worse case scenario, I do some things I enjoy and take some steps in the right direction of taking better care of myself.
I figured since were halfway through the month, it'd be fair to do a quick review of how it's going. I'm kicking ass with my goal of reading 2 books. Sometimes I forget how much I love reading. I'd been trying to read more non-fiction lately, but the books I was choosing were making my heart too heavy so I read 2 fictional stories. It felt good to get back to reading. I plan on checking out some audio books for the travels to Ohio so I'll be hitting up the local library soon.
I'm not where I'd like to be with my working out goal, but what I've done has been better than what I've done in recent months. I've been going to a chiropractor this month trying to work out the kinks in my back, neck and hips so I think continuing to get assistance with those issues will increase the success of working out. It won't be as uncomfortable and should be easier as well-- both things I think are really good!
I've got 2 weeks left and plan to keep plugging along. Each goal or part of a goal I meet is a victory. And that's all I can ask for sometimes.... Are the little victories.
