Week One...cue Mission: Impossible music...

What?: Make a Plan. I will write out my goals this week. I need to consider overall goals that I would like to accomplish this year. It is important that I not worry about the specifics in getting there, that is what the weekly challenges (going forward) are all about. For example, if a goal is to lose weight, then I will write it down. How I go about losing weight will be part of my weekly challenges. Secondly, tell someone else about it. I will find someone in my household or a close friend that I can buddy up with to encourage each other or simply find a person to help me stay accountable by encouragement and prayer.

Why?: Putting our goals down on paper helps to organize our thoughts and can serve as a daily reminder if posted somewhere for us to continue to review. Also, when we have a partner to encourage us with our goals, it is easier to stay accountable.

How Do We Go About Doing the Challenge?: I am going to sit down and write out my list of goals focusing on the categories that I previously posted: Health, Family, Faith, Finances, Personal. Once complete, I will show my list to twindada and ask for support. Finally, I will post my list in a place where I will see it often.

Who Does the Challenge Include?: It includes me and my support partner.

Resources to Help: Need help on writing personal goals? A good article to check out it right here.
