so it is great that you have a picture of what you want. you have something to work toward. but it is too big to start, you are right about that. you will get overwhelmed and just give up. goals hve to be SMART to be successful. s=specific m=measurable a=attainable r=relevant t=timebound......so the things you have listed are very specific. that is good. but how would you measure your level of energy or zest for life? it is easy to measure whether you have ironed a shirt or not. I think all your goals are attainable except giving 110% at work and never slacking off...everybody slacks off at work at some time or anoter,,,lol....you have to give yourself a break...are these goals relevant to you? I would think so. and timebound...you just put a time limit on it that works for you, like exercising three days a week.
so the best thing to do is pick one of these goals. which one would be easiest? I hate ironing so I wouldn't chose that, but I think having time for friends and family might be an easy way to start. so pick three steps it will take to achieve this goal. start simple. something you know you can do. you don't want to set yourself up for failure. 1.make list of friends and family I want to make time for 2, call 2 people on list after dinner each week, say on tues and thurs, until go thru whole list and then repeat 3. choose one person from list each week to go out for coffee/dinner/movie/shopping with. write down three strengths you have that will help you be successful in completing this goal. write down three things that will sabotage you from completing this goal.
so work toward your one goal and really watch for the sabotages. if you mess up, do better the next day. once you have successfully completed this goal and made it a habit, then move on to the next goal. pick another task from your list, figure out a way to make it a smart goal, figure out the steps to reach it, your strengths and weeknesses,
