Intentional Living: Weekly Goals
So thankful for my family. We decided to celebrate our Christmas over the weekend since Jake had off and could spend more time with us. He did get a few calls, emails, but the girls were great and were willing to take a break to play, read a book, or help make a snack whenever he had to get away for a few minutes. Thankfully he was able to do everything he needed from home and didn’t have to go into the office.
With the girls being out of school and the Christmas Holiday this week I am taking the time to really focus on spending time with my family. While my goals are still important and I will be doing a lot of them throughout the week my highest priority is my family. I love having the kids out of school so we can do more together. It is really important that I give the kids (and husband) my attention and create memories so it will be quieter this week on the blog. I will be back to my regular goal updates and posts soon!
I think it is important to share and encourage each other as we seek to improve our lives and the lives of those around us. I want to live intentionally not just hope all my dreams and goals come true. When I focus on small steps of improvement I am able to see results as I get closer to my goals. Some weeks I get closer to the goals I have in my life and other weeks a take a few steps back (life happens, emergencies occur, people get sick). Once the goals are written down and shared it provides a guideline for what I aim to accomplish this week.
Why Share My Goals?
- To keep me accountable
- To share a piece of my life with you as I strive to be a better Child of God, Wife, Mom, Friend, Homemaker, Entrepreneur and the many other roles I have each week
- To have my goals consistently written down so I can gauge progress more accurately
- Create healthy habits in my life
- To encourage you to share your goals with me as you continue to grown and learn
How did you do this week on your goals? Feel free to share or link to your list of weekly goals.
The picture above is one that I created for my own purposes, however, The “SMART” acronym was originally coined 30 years ago by Peter Drucker in his classic work, Management by Results.
