It's New Year's Eve, 2010. I am less than 24 hours away from my commitment to fulfill 3 goals in 30 days. Yikes. What have I gotten myself into? I have been successful once when a few years ago I gave up french fries. I did that for 1 year and I know that after the 1st month it just became easier and easier. But cutting something out is much different than adding something and I'm adding 3, not taking away 1. Here are my 3 goals:
1. Read a book called "Stepping Heavenward" daily. It is in the form of a diary, so I want to read entries everyday. Maybe 1 entry a day, maybe more. But I want to read every day and this seems like a small, reasonable, attainable goal.
2. Exercise 4x/week. This won't be too difficult. I already go with a friend to Bally's 2x/week, so now I just need to add 2 more days. I have an additional goal in mind with this, though. I have such a hard time waking up early every day and if I'm up and out of the house 4 times a week I will be much more likely to get going when I get home. At least that is my hope.
3. Play my guitar for 10 minutes daily. My husband bought me a guitar a few years ago and I haven't really given it much attention. I want to learn how to play songs so my kids and I can sing along to praise songs, or something like that. I just want to play more than I do. I can do 10 minutes. I know I can.
I like the 3 in 30 Challenge because of the accountability that comes with it. I look forward to answering to my new 3 in 30 internet friends who will offer encouragement and friendship via the world wide web.
