Weekly Goals Review: Week of 6/7/10

I’m going to try – try I said – to keep up with doing a review of the goals I set for the last week.  I did pretty well this past week actually.

This was my goal list for last week…

  • Biggest goal – to get back into the swing of designing again.  I have been gone from the digiscrap industry for 3 years now.  My last release under my own name was back in 2007 and prior to that I didn’t release a lot of things (always wrapped up in the backend technical admin of various sites).  So just DESIGNING… is going to be my biggest goal for awhile.
    DONE – I’m excited to say I met this goal.  I was able to design 3 days of the week.  That’s a great step for me actually.  My eventual plan is try and design some every day… but for now 3 days was a great accomplishment. 🙂
  • Blogging regularly – I actually created a weekly blogging calendar for myself. lol!  Maybe that will kick me in the ass to blog more. I was never a very good blogger so this is a bit scary.  lol!
    DONE – I actually met this one too… WOO HOO!!!!
  • Finalizing my own store site – I am almost there with this one.  Have some finishing things I need to tweak before I go live with the site.
    DONE –  I got my store up!  I had actually been working on this on and off for the last two weeks… but it needed some final tweaking and testing before I put it out live.  I’m sure there are little things that still need to be tweaked and maybe things that are off a bit… but I’m happy with how it is starting off.  Oh… and I do need to get some products stocked.  LOL!

This weeks personal goals

  • Keep up with the cool running program. 20 minutes. M – W -F
    DONE – I was able to stay with this for M-W-F.  I think I may walk on T and Th just not do the running part.  Maybe more of an aerobic walk.
  • Start lifting weights again. 20 minutes. T-Th
    NOPE – I didn’t do this part.  I think maybe this will come after I get my walking more regular.  I was afraid I’d be sore and jinx my walking… so I’m going to put this on hold.
  • Do the Creativity Boot Camp every day.  My intention is to release whatever I design as a freebie. I *really* want to do this.
    NOPE – I did the first two days of this and then from there it went downhill.  Not because I didn’t make time… but because the bootcamp turned out to be geared mostly for photographers.  The prompts weren’t all that inspiring to me.  So I consciously made the choice to not do this and spent that time designing for the DSO July Pick Ur Bits.
  • Sit outside for an hour every day and read.  I’d like to finish the ChiRunning/ChiWalking books.
    DONE – I wasn’t able to sit outside every day because it rained 3 of the days this week.  lol!  But I did make it outside the days it didn’t rain for an hour and finished the ChiWalking book.  I plan on reading the ChiRunning next week.
  • Clean one of my kids rooms.  Last week I did Sam’s.  This week I should get into Dan’s. It’s a complete disaster!
    SORT OF – I didn’t get into Dan’s room all the way like I wanted to. But I did have the kids pull out all the clothes that don’t fit anymore.  So two bags of clothes were donated this week.  A little progress…

And this is my horoscope for today.

You might believe that changing your attitude is all that’s necessary now, but unfortunately breaking free from old habits is not that straightforward. Your current responsibilities could require hard physical work, too. Today’s New Moon in your 6th House of Details indicates that you will be more successful if you take many small steps instead of trying to reach the summit in one big leap.

I think it rings true for me.  I’m trying to break some old habits and get back into enjoying my little daily successes.  Small steps every day this past week have put me on track for my new journey.  It’s not about the destination for me… it’s about the journey and the little steps I’m taking along the path.  Yeah… mushy… I know even for me.  But I’ve come from such a dark place it’s time to be more positive again even if that means mushy.
