Small Steps
A journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.

This week I am focusing on making sure that each goal is Aligned with who I am TODAY and what I value. It's crucial to future success and it's trickier than I imagined. I say this because my goal hasn't really changed in 5 years, but I have. So now is the time to Revisit also.
In 2005, when I started this latest segment of my weight loss journey, my goal was to "lose weight". I established what I would do and how I would accomplish that. And I did it! I achieved the weight loss goal I had set. But now, I'm wondering, how a particular number (155#) is in alignment with who I am TODAY. Or rather, I think that that number no longer provides a complete picture of who I am and what I value.
I think my next goal needs to lead to something larger and more comprehensive than just a number on the scale. It needs to include the concept of living a more balanced life, laughing more, walking stronger, connecting with my self, as well as others, and enjoying the journey. I don't have any goal in mind at the moment, but as I begin searching for my next adventure, I will keep this idea of Alignment in mind.
If you're having a hard time reaching your goal,
maybe you and your goal are no longer in Alignment.
Is your goal in ALIGNMENT this week?
