Goals
- Closer Relationship with God- My more specific goal is to read the Bible daily and write in my prayer journal. I wanted to do the read your Bible in a year but I don’t want to get caught up reading a certain amount to say I did but not grasping the meaning. I do listen to JD Greear podcast on my drive home from work 4 days a week and he is currently going through each book of the Bible if your are interested I will post the link below.
2. Get Fit- I want to get strong but I need specific goals. So Right now I am benching 95 lbs, before I was doing 185. So my goal is I will bench 200 lbs at the end of this year. I watched some youtube and found some workouts for women over 50. Link will be below. Today I am doing some body weight exercises. Squats, pull ups, Roman chair reverse crunches and situps. 15 minutes of cardio today also.
3. House organization – Still working on my office, my more specific goal is to go over entire house in 1 year and get rid of anything that is not essential
4.Write- I did the 15 minutes today and decided that I want to finish my book over this year.
5. Camper reno- I watched a video on roof sealing and am going to harbor freight today to get some stuff, my goal is to have this camper ready for camping next season.
I sat with this along time wondering if I should post it? It is pretty personal but we are all dealing with something so if it helps someone , great!
I guess I never imagined that working on goals would mean so much working on myself. Logically, I know that the ability to complete goals can have a lot to do with emotions. I found I have a pretty big spot of hidden rage and hidden emotions are a danger to your health and well being. How dangerous, they can cause depression and hurt your heart. I will post links to the articles. But back to my rage, recently I found out my ex is now really involved with the woman he cheated on me with. I can honestly say that I am not in love with him and would never want him back. He has tried to get me back but he is toxic. We have been split up since 2000. Since the split we have been causal friends as we have kids and now grands in common. He came to holidays and birthday parties. Yes I know, along time. Even longer when he cheated, that was back in 1988. I bet you are asking yourself why I would possibly still be mad? Me too. Oh and it is not just anger, it is pure rage. It shocked me it came on so quick and took me by surprise. He has been involved with other women over the years and none of them bothered me at all. This one however, well I am sure you do not need details. I am not an emotion stuffer with anger, I am not afraid to express it. I am not a people pleaser . I was surprised . The real work is how do I release it so I am not effected by it ? How do you release emotions you were not aware you possessed? I think after looking into this subject I can use the rage in my workouts? I do not like allowing someone to make me angry as they have control so I will learn how to channel it into my workouts. I find this very interesting that many of these ted talks mainly tell you to channel the anger. I feel this is very beneficial as we all feel anger and learning about yourself is always beneficial. Do you have something you have been carrying around?
