BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Life Coaching What are your One Year Goals?

Yes...I need to get on that. LOL!

Happy to see this thread pop-up.

I need to set new One Year Goals. There is a lot going on in my life and goals would help me put things in better perspective.

Half way through 2014. If you set goals for 2014, how are you doing? Which ones made it past February?

1 - I'm continuing my training with the hopes of doing better in my second half-marathon in Feb. 2015.

2 - I did some clean up around yard, including getting an 8x10 falling apart shed out of my back yard.

3 - It's hit or miss on the eating, I'm doing better, but still working on it.

How is everyone else doing?

I'm so busy that I can't take time to plan or set goals. I definitely need to take pen to paper and set a few proper goals.

BB - I'm right there too - sometimes I'm just working on staying afloat. I do like setting goals though, it helps me to see just how far I progressed on certain things.

When you have a moment, I would love to hear what you came up with. :-)

My organization goals are coming along. Less clothes all the time, less stuff - finding homes for all my stuff, and labeling them.

OK time to revisit my one year goals! I've hit some of them and others I'm still working toward.

Deanna, how are you doing on your one year goals?

Oy, Alice, it's slow going. My life turned upside down a bit with caring for my mom and aunt, and that groove, just when I think I'm getting into it, turns into a bump LOL!!

I have been working with a coach though who has been helping me.

And NOW I have a writing buddy (Thanks Chel). I LOVE writing, especially working on my books, but it's the activity that gets ignored when issues with family come up.

Health - I saw an herbalist, and am on things that support my liver and digestive health - noticing small improvements, but improvement none-the-less

Family activities - getting busier all the time YAY!!!
