Notes to Myself Today

 Notes to Myself Today:
Which one hits home for you?
Number 4 was an oh-so-gentle reminder that I need to be part of the solution, and not part of making the problem worse. 

That'll preach. I mean frankly, there's a whole sermon in those few lines of text. And I just stomped on my own toes, so...there's that. Time for some changes in my attitude. 

Self Care Day 24: Set Goals for yourself

 Self Care Day 24: Set Goals for yourself

#SelfCare

I set myself up with some pretty large goals this year and I am working my way through them, bit by bit. One of this is this post, and the many others like it. It is nearing the end of February, and I've already blogged much more than the last 2 year combined! I'm loving being creative this way. Check my 2021 Goals post over here, which I will be updating monthly with my progress.

2021 Goals! I have BIG plans this year

I have many goals this year after a few years of actively doing less and I'm rearing to go. I'll add this list in the coming days and then offer a once a month update post.

Spiritual Goals:     

~Read the whole Bible this year. I'm using the YouVersion app to help me do this in a timely fashion.
~Pray from a list
~Attend Church and Community Group either in person or virtually, as Corona allows.

~Read and work through "The Road Back to You" an Enneagram book from a Christian perspective.

Health Goals:     

~Continue to shed inches through smaller portions, more movement, more veggies and more water. My year end goal to be down to single digit pants size and a M top. 
~Make taking my supplements a daily habit.
~Avoid late night snacking. 
~Be able to run up a flight of stairs at Acton without becoming winded.

~Take a long hike once a month. (A Mountain, Dripping Springs, Carlsbad Caverns, The Catwalk, etc.)

Personal Goals:   

~Read every single day, and I'm starting with books I already own. I can't purchase any more until I've read those. *Kindle books don't count as purchases if I get them free*

~Blog daily.

~Make 25 recipes out of my new cookbooks, Cast Iron Cooking and the Tasty Cookbook.

~Participate in No Pants April 2021 and 100 Happy Days 2021
~Buy a handgun and take a safety course.
~New Ink: The MeYeR Man Crew and The Grand Crew- paid for by PattyCakes

~Get passports for the family
~Conquer FSA syndrome by clearing a Flat Surface Area every month, and maintain all other FSAs from previous months

Marriage and Family Goals:    

~Long weekend trip to Grand Canyon- if Corona Allows

~Celebrate 25 year anniversary in August

~Continue with weekly Pizza and Movie Nights

~Visit IL at least once this year

~Dan and I Question Of The Day book daily

~Date Night once a month
~Game Nights weekly

Financial Goals:     

~Refill our emergency fund

~Spend our Tax Refund wisely on home improvements, adding to our savings, and extra principal on our mortgage

~Save money weekly according to my printout in my planner

~Do a No-Spend January

~Pantry Challenge in January
~Stock Pantry with 6 months of staples

I'll add to this as I think of more things that need my attention this year, but this is a pretty good start. 
How about you? What are you working on this year?
