Yearly Goal Reflection (Year in Review: Part Three)

file folder I created at recent mini-retreat - "learn to hear what your inner voice is telling you and your whole world changes"

My 2011 goals that I listed last January:

• Attend Professional Development conference in Psychology: DONE

• Publish Yoga for Living Wellness CD (and have a party when I finally do - lol): Nope. Why do I have such a block when it comes to this project!

• Complete a first draft of Living Wellness book: Nope. Um, can we say overly ambitious goal?

• Clean out the basement: Nope.

• Read all of Martha Beck's books (I'm probably 25% there already): Nope.

• Continue to cultivate daily meditation practice: Sort of is probably a generous appraisal.

• Draft plan for new website & purchase domain name: DONE

• Rent newly renovated office suite to fabulous, like-minded health & wellness professionals: One down, two to go.

• Explore mixed media art: Nope.

• Attend additional yoga training: DONE

• Enjoy 12 weeks of maternity leave: DONE + 5 additional weeks

• Research starting a non-profit: Bought a few books but that was as far as it went.

• Host a retreat at Tree of Life Yoga Studio: Not this year.

• Begin publishing podcasts & vidcasts: Nope.

• Write more content on blog: DONE

• Daily physical activity: At times...

• Participate in 2 courses through Goddess Leonie's Goddess Circle: Define participate.....

• Save 40% of my income each month until baby is born: DONE

• Donate monthly to my favorite charities: This went well the first half of the year, but faltered after that.

• Continue to make self-care a priority after baby is born while also understanding it may look a lot different than it does now: I've done well with maintaining my monthly pedicure and massage appointments, but I'm definitely needing to work on ways to have more "me time" on a daily/weekly basis.

• Monthly dates with all the important people in my life (hubby, daughter, friends, and family): This has gone pretty well!
