'Roid Rage: Goal-Oriented
Ahhhh Friday. I feel like this has been the week from hell, even though it wasn't really that bad.
This was my lunch for today:
...which isn't all that detailed but it beat...
...half a baguette, a container of avocado and Dr Cow nut cheese.
Well, maybe they were equally as good. I do love bread, avocado and Dr Cow.
Last night, after reading a magazine article about how to accomplish your goals step by step (one of my corny pleasures is a subscription to Martha's Body + Soul magazine** since that only makes me want to buy vegetables and do yoga instead of purchase 100 studded clutches and lucite 6" heels) and I wrote out all my goals and not one of them (except to clip my cats' claws and brush them more often) was animal-related. I was so proud of myself! However, there were, of course 50 of them and I have 0 time as it is.
If I had to pick a Top 5, they would be:
1. learn Spanish
2. get better at family
3. buy a clue when it comes to geography (I am convinced I'm xenophobic)
4. become a Master Composter
5. invite people over for dinner/tea more often
6. (I lied!) maximize NYC and NY-area sites and events
There were about 50 more that involved mediation, yoga, cardio, legally shutting down my old nfp, learning how to cook better, etc. The article essentially used the Kellogg Logic Model but clearly did not think about people having more than 1 goal so if I worked that way I'd have to incorporate literally hours of goal-oriented-activities DAILY which would likely please me to no neurotic end if I actually had the time. I am going to start hosting bi-lingual dinner/teas where we talk about geography just to knock off a few of those at once.
** I will hand it to ol' B+S as they did have an entire section on "CSA recipes" -- what to do with those "weird" veggies you get at the farmer's market or CSA. I thought that was pretty clever of them and I would like an encore.
