I set goals for myself, daily goals, weekly goals and seasonal goals. Sometimes I set a yearly goal but not often; maybe I should?

I plan, I prep, I organize until I get it right enough to start working on that goal – but then right enough is never quite reached.

We’re not alone, we all do it. Why do I do this? Why do you do this?

We’re stalling for time. We’re finding; no, we’re making excuses for not being there yet. It’s so much easier to explain why we haven’t reached our goal yet…simply put, I haven’t started, I’m gearing up, I’m getting ready, I’m making sure I have everything I need first, I’m waiting for the right moment, I have a plan, I need to get past this party, that gathering, these holidays, vacation, I need to wait until all my kids leave home! My head is SPINNING! Is yours?

When will we have it all together? When will we finally get it right? What if when we finally have it all together it’s too late?

I’m going to try…no, I’m going to absolutely adopt a new set of mind game rules for myself…no more mind games. Now is the right time, I have prepared enough, I’m ready (whether I actually think I am or not), I can, I will, I want to, I’ll survive a party, a vacation, the holidays making healthier choices, I’ll show my kids how it’s done while they’re still close by.

I’ll root for me, today, right now. If I slip up today I always have tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will begin again; and so on, and so on and so on…
