She has done this and blogged about it for a few years and I really like the idea. Here are a few of the words from her list that are grabbing me&#8230; but I will need to ponder and settle on one for the year that fits my other goals and plans as well as my overall direction.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Growth:<\/strong> this can cover a lot of areas&#8230; and I strive to always grow and be open to growth&#8230; but this word really was a great focus for me a few years ago when I returned to school for my masters and did a lot of mental health healing. Not that I can&#8217;t use a word just because it was a past focus, but I think I am not in this part of my life cycle right now.\u00c2\u00a0<strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Health:<\/strong> This one fits my fitness goals but doesn&#8217;t really cover any of my other ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Action<\/strong>: This one could address my fitness goals and my art ones as well&#8230; so I am leaning towards it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adventure:<\/strong> My life has become so settled and kinda in a rut&#8230;so I feel like I want some adventure but I think I am too comfortable to really use it as a focus word.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discipline: <\/strong>This word is a tough one for me&#8230; something I really need more of but something I hate! It has a real negative connotation in my mind, so I hesitate to use it, but If I could wrap my mind around the positive aspects and really focus on it in every area of my life it could be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artfulness or Creativity<\/strong>: I think these are such a part of my life and person that I don&#8217;t need the word to drive my actions anymore.<\/p>\n<p>One word that she didn&#8217;t list that popped into my head right away\u00c2\u00a0is <strong>Interact<\/strong>. I really want to participate in art groups (both live and online) as well as my teacher community more. Plus join some fitness events, and generally get-out-more! not be such a homebody&#8230; I think this word might be in the top three of possibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still on my hunt for tips and tricks for setting SMART Goals I ran across Christine&#8217;s Blog.
