As March is coming to a close, I wanted to re-evaluate my dream board for the year. I think it is really helpful to stay on track by evaluating my progress. My original post at the end of 2013 gives a brief explanation of my dreams and goals for the year. My dreams were to focus on health, organization, fitness, love, business, education and family.
I thought maybe I would rate how i feel I am doing on the items I have planned to focus on for the year on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) purely so I know what I need to focus more on in the coming months.
health 2
organization 5
fitness 4
love 5
business 7
education 8
family 5
I feel like I have been learning a LOT lately. After 3 conferences, wait 4 conferences in 3 weeks I am feeling pretty overloaded with information. I would say I have been doing really well with education. Business is second highest because I feel like I have been focusing a lot on that lately as well. I have really been trying to focus on the things that need to get done and get some tasks a little more streamlined.
Family, love and organization all seem pretty steady. I don't feel like have done any extra effort or lacked in any of these areas this year. Mark and I have been trying to reorganize some areas of our house and I guess our communication too. We are really trying to make it known when we are not happy with something instead of letting things pile up. I guess this goes for physical things throughout our house as well as emotional issues. Interesting, this is reminding me of the feng shui talk I heard at the Sharp Women's Health Conference last year. More on that later.
Surprise, surprise... I feel as though I am lacking in health and fitness. I think my numbers may be a little lower than actuality. Mainly because the last month has been so busy and a little frantic that I really have not put much effort into these things. The first two months, however I felt like I was doing a really great job. This recap was definitely the reminder I needed to get back on track. There is something about getting too busy with other things in life that always makes me go back to eating and being unhealthy.
So I am feeling like I am pretty clear on what areas need a little more attention than others and plan to re-focus for the next quarter.
What goals and dreams are you working on?

It's easy to let these things that were paramount to slip by when things get crazy, right? I'm not trying to shame you (so don't get me wrong) but it's the reason why I like these quarterly check-in's to remind you to re-evaluate why you chose that goal/resolution/intention in the first place.
I'm behind on so many things that I have laid out for myself that it often gets me frustrated and depressed. Why do we always treat ourselves so badly during times of stress when counter-intuitively, if we treated ourselves better things wouldn't be so stressful?!
I look forward to learning more about your progress at the next check-in.
PS - I love your vision board.

Thank you Melissa! It is so true! If only we could always stay on track. Hopefully I will have better results with the next check in 🙂
