November Goals: Review
My November Goals:
I will easily craft a dedicated space in my house for meditation by November 30, 2019.
I will easily reach 30 deep, consistent, improved-form push ups by November 30, 2019.
I will easily stop working and begin winding down for sleep by 10pm for the entire month, until November 30, 2019.
I will easily create 1 new YouTube video by November 30, 2019.
Dear November Self,
You have forgotten your own rule: realistic goals don’t excite you. They don’t get you motivated. They don’t make you get up in the morning and think, YES! This is going to take all I’ve got, and I’m ready to tackle this challenge! Instead, realistic goals make you fall into the trap of thinking you have time, thinking you can easily pull it off. November Sarah, you convinced yourself that what you needed was rest because you were tired when what you really needed was a goal exciting enough to wake you up.
Therefore, I’m sorry to report, that you didn’t achieve a single one of your November goals. Wow. What a learning lesson. You need to taste your own medicine, walk your own talk. It’s so much worse to aim low and not hit your goals, that it is to aim high and not hit your goals. You aimed low, and a low goal wasn’t motivational enough to even attempt it. You did push ups just ONCE this entire month! By setting low goals, you set yourself up to fail.
This December, you must not forget that you thrive when you are inspired by a challenge, and pushing your limits is what you do best. Don’t dull your potential with realistic goals. Ignite it with impossible ones!
This lesson is probably far more important than achieving any of your November goals. Not only is it important that you learned this in time for December, but you learned this lesson in time for 2020, and a new decade ahead.
Girl, push. your. limits.
Love, future self x
P.S. Your December goals better be absolute fire 🔥
