Go easy with yourself

Great to write your goals down....I applaud you but go easy.  Sometimes we set things too hard and then feel life failures if we do not accomplish every single one.  Try this:  choose three goals only each week.  Write them down, then change the goal into a question:  For example if you want to lose weight, say how can I lose weight?  Answer the question in ten different ways and then commit to doing those things.  The dream will come true.  Take smaller bites.  Instead of 70 new words in a week, try 3 new words each day....the words will accumulate. If you set the goal to read three books and fail, you will feel bad.  Try, "I will enjoy reading for at least one hour each day"...then you will be surprised at how much reading you get to enjoy.  Good luck.
