#43 Daily Writing Journal -Cold is so bad so still in bed. Dream Goal Plan Action Reality.

Cold is so bad so still in bed.

It's horrible and probably the worse I've had in year. It could be the flu, but I'm not sure. My throat was so sore and burning. I feel pants, I really do feel terrible, so I've been stuck in bed.

Dream Goal Plan Action Reality

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams reality.

I saw this somewhere on a picture and it seemed so simple. Common sense. Simple but difficult to achieve especially if a person has other conflicting goals or priorities.

For example, I had a goal to achieve something within 1-2 years but it took me six years because of a family bereavement, bad relationship drama and awful work environment. It took me a while to snap back, very long while to get back to some sense of normality.

I'm late with my writing goals because I work full time, and write within my spare time. Writing can be quite obsessive to the exclusion of others so I also have to manage that. So I'm years late. I'm also compromising by self-publishing even though a part of me wants to go the traditional route - but that is a way paved with frustration and disappointment, though the rewards at the end are high.

I also dream way above my 'pay grade' or abilities and at time I need to have a reality check as to what is possible.

Sometimes taking action for make a goal a reality takes a certain amount of risk and moving out of our comfort zone. It's easy to write plans on paper but following can be difficult and hard.

Risk...it's all about risk, conflicting goals and what is important.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LET THE GOALS ROLL

Hello all. Happy New Year! So last year was awesome for me because I managed to achieve one goal. The biggest goal which was to get a new job. And that came with financial reward as well. Yay! It was hard, challenging, horrible. I hate change but I had to get out of the rut I was in. Dudes, I was desperate to move. So I dug deep, did my interview practice, attended a number of interviews and hit one. Yay. Now longer gaming. I didn't need the escapism with my new positive work environment. I also abandoned the iPhone family and went Android. To cut a long story short, I got bought an iPhone 8 but it was faulty - however Apple weren't transparent about their return policy - ALWAYS ASK ABOUT RETURN POLICY. Nor did they believe the phone was faulty. It was. Anyway I was so disgusted the arrogance of the 'apple people', I decided instead of getting a replacement to spend my money elsewhere. I'm still part of the Apple family. But the Apple Store sales assist

Goals - one thing at a time - weekly or less frequent blog. Yoga was HARD! Still on track with eating plan,

Despites all my good words, I am slipping back into old bad habits and overloading myself with things to do. Distractions. Everything is important. So I've decided to get tough with myself and focus on my major goal. The one that will be most beneficial to me and a causality of that will be writing this blog daily or near daily. So I'm going to be focusing on my major goal and push myself to focus and I think all the other activities, and I mean a lot are diluting from the process. This means getting rid of non-value adding activities. Oh dear, I sound rather corporate. My week so far. If Pilate nearly killed me, then in Yoga was the firing line. OMG! What is it with these gym classes being so dynamic! When I mean dynamic I mean break-into-a-sweat dynamic. I'd never hadn't had such a difficult class - obviously I was the largest. Okay - let's go fat-shaming- don't you just love that word? I was the fattest by a long stretch. And the unfittest. My body was ou
