2013 goals

Towards the end of last year I read PUSH by Chalene Johnson and it is the system I am using for many things this year.  With the program I created a top priority statement, revamped my to-do list and reorganized my goals.

Here is my Top Priority Statement- My Top Priority is to be a loving and present wife and mother.  I want to demonstrate by my actions that my husband and children are more important to me than any personal pursuit.  I want to work to improve my relationship with my husband and children and to provide the best possible environment for my family, so that in that environment they will thrive.  I want to limit activities, pursuits, and relationships that take me away from my family and weigh all decisions against what would be most beneficial to my family.

First of all, yes I know I don't have children yet (hopefully next year!) but I still wanted them included in my statement.  Taking the time to think through and define this statement has really helped make certain decisions easier.  For instance I had though of joining the national guard.  Being in the military was always something I wanted to do, but after defining this statement... it will definitely take me away from my family at times, so it is no longer something I am pursing.  Also, I was able to define my top three priorities and place them in order- Family, health, Home, which has allowed me to not stress so much if my house doesn't get cleaned every week- especially if that cleaning time is being spent playing games with Chad or watching movies together, or working on my health.  Before, I would get super stressed and mad that it wasn't all done every Sunday, but now while I still want a clean house, it doesn't have to always be done at the same time every week, if other priorities are present.

My goals and mini goals for this year are:

Sorry about the spacing... it copied and pasted weird!

As you can see I tried to cover every area of my life- spouse, finances, career (including a future career), fitness, and rest.  And as you can see I am making progress on some... A big help in my goals was getting a job and this was the first item I focused on...
