Hello…? Is there anybody out there?? Did your new years game plan turn out and you are still going strong or are you like me? I got sick and then I got back to work and I got off track. I am not going to be hard on myself but I am going to pay better attention and get my mind back on things. Beating yourself up is negative and negativity is never going to motivate you to make a positive change. Its impossible. Even saying impossible feels wrong.
So anyways, before my sinus infection and my constant headaches, I had gone on to Amazon.com and placed an order for a 100 day calendar. Nothing fancy, nothing big just a way to keep track of progress. Cost me $7 for a pack of 3. One for me, one for my sister and one for our friend/neighbor downstairs. I have always thought that making goals for one year or five years is intimidating. Maybe that isn’t the right way to look at it but its how I always have. I decided to break it down. A little over 3 months. This will give me an achievable timeframe and I can readjust my goals/plans. Plus, who doesn’t like to get to the end and create a new plan? Just me, ok.
Remember, your plan is just that. It is specific to you, what fits into your schedule and the commitment you are willing to make. For me, variety is the best. I get bored easily and routines are hard for me. So I change it up. I work on multiple areas at a time. For example I set a physical goal, a self improvement goal and usually a financial goal. For my 100 days I am going to set 5 daily options. My goal is to work on 3 of the 5 daily. Some days you will need a rest day so your muscles can breathe, or maybe a night out and pizza is what for dinner. This is why I set the goal but modify the options.
This is what I am choosing to work on for the first part of 2022.
100 days for me looks like:
Physical- 30 minutes of walking/running or 30 minutes of weight-lifting
Diet- cook a healthy meal, with two days of lunch meal prep
Financial- (I do uber and have a side consultation business) Uber $30-50 in a day or do one consultation for $75
Self Improvement- Read for 15-30 minutes a day
Blog-This one is to keep me on track creatively and so I can come up with new distractions for anyone out there.
I will keep track of these as I go day by day. Marking the days I follow thru is a visual reminder of progress. When it comes to goals you have to get creative to move forward. Take pictures, cross off a day, celebrate when you do ten more sit ups than you’ve ever done or if you pay off a credit card. Always take the win and hey if nothing gets done today, tomorrow you can move on. Don’t let what you didn’t do today drag you down tomorrow.
