Time to think Goals!
It's The Half-Point of the Year, 2011 !! I'm especially fond of this calendar moment each year, because if I haven't gotten what I wanted from my New Years Goals, here's another perfectly good, very valid, starting place. And if there are some things that have been going right I can see how to build on them.
If anybody's interested in goals that are calendar-oriented, here's a quick review of how many weeks we have to effect change before some meaningful shared dates when we might want to look our best or have renewed energy. Plug in your own personal dates to ponder.
Until Labor Day picnics – 9 weeks
Until Thanksgiving invitations – 21 weeks
Until the most likely Sat. party date in mid-Dec – 24 weeks
Until we ring in 2012 – 26 weeks
Whether you choose to see how many straight weeks you can keep up a healthy habit, or aim for a particular number goal (weight, health-marker, inch or mile) by a certain date, there is plenty of time to impress yourself! Pick out a favorite record-keeping method and have fun with it. Writing down “where we are” at memorable times of the year helps keep us on track long-term.
