Hi Michele - It's reassuring to know I'm finally going about goal-setting in a manner that has a good chance of success
My take on Step 2 of the Wonder Model:
Enjoy today, everyday, with NG I'm relying on you all to keep me focused on the moment. I reckon NG will need another year or so to process his stuff; realistically there is little I can expect, except to enjoy the ride. This modest goal is what I need to focus on, to buy myself time to heal, get over the anger and resentment. No past, no future, just today. My journals here should help me keep track of progress
Focus on improving my health, physical energy, and emotional well being My two real-world buddies are on this same track, I expect us to coach each other as we hit inevitable dips during the year. After an amazing first half 2004, I'm now struggling with my weight again - ugh. Lots of work here
Bask in the comfort of my social network I have wonderful friends, but we do not seem to have the time or energy to maintain even the barest of contacts. This year, I'd like to be a net contributor, by making time to create connection opportunities for everyone. It'll be fun, I feel a fraud for listing this as a major goal, but, the results will be well worth the attention this process will endow on re-connecting activities
There are so many other challenges ahead - re-building our finances, adjusting to a new manager as my current one retires etc. But, I figure I can expect myself to handle three big ones, and no doubt there will be components to these super-goals, so I'll not get too ambitious
