Weekly goals

I was just reading a friends blog and she inspired me!  Inspired me to keep it simple yet set some goals for myself. So I can look back at the end of the week and be proud of myself for accomplishing something. I know we all can accomplish good things, but I believe that  #1 that it is important that we make time for ourselves 2 mins or 45 mins #2 remember that we do good things big or small #3 don't be to hard on ourselves throughout the week and give ourselves a pat on the back every once in a while!  It of course is a crazy week, just like it was last week and next week will be the same. But it is my goal to try and take a few mins each day to do these things! So here are my goals for the week. 

#1 - read to Olivia every night before bed!
#2 - no fast food! (this is gonna be a kicker)
#3 - work out for 30 mins everyday
#4 - spend 15 mins a day reading conference talks or scriptures
#5 - drink 64 oz of water a day
#6  - limit myself to one 44 oz of Diet Coke (this may seem extreme, but trust me this is a major cutback)
#7 - spend 30 mins a day just talking with Casey (no distractions ie. instagram)
#8 - eat fruits and veggies daily
#9 - go to bed before 11
#10 - enjoy my week, make the most of everyday, and like I tell Olivia laugh everyday!

Happy New Year 2010!

Today as Olivia would’t leave my hip, because of an awful cold and temp of 103, we decided to watch the new movie “UP”. I was inspired by the first few scenes where the young girl brings into to her new friend her Book of Adventures. That’s me! I have so many things I want to accomplish in my life. So many things I want to see and do. So as we begin this New Year I thought I would do one of my goals for the year and actually post them.

To share more personal work and post more often.

To be a true better friend, genuinely, sincerely, and with more intent.

To not be afraid anymore. Not Afraid to accomplish all that I want. Not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and create, write, and do all those things that keep me up at night.

To realize that everything does not need to be perfect.

To spend quality time with my family.

To share more of what it feels like to be a photographer. And hopefully my photos will speak for themselves sometimes that I won’t need to say a word.

To look for those I can serve and then DO IT.

To experiment with my fashion sense and not always pick out “what’s safe and comfy”. I’m tired of watching some of the wardrobes in the movies and saying to myself “oh I would love to wear something like that”. Modest of course but sassy and fun.

To learn new things to do with Olivia's hair. (I know it's a topic on it's own)

To budget better and really be organized (I know everyone says this at this time of year but I REALLY mean it)
To laugh of course, everyday sometimes more than once (wink wink)

To not get frustrated with myself and put limitations on myself and family.

To post my REAL thoughts and feelings, this is my journal. Sorry kids this is all you get. So brace yourself for what’s really on my mind.

To experiment more with things that inspire me.

To fall more in love with Casey and expressing my appreciation for him and not just assume that he knows.

To eat better and realize that I’m not 18 anymore and my metabolism is slowing down. (I can’t be in denial anymore)

To run in at least 10 races, since I don’t think we are doing the Wasatch Back this year (tears)

To meet new photographer friends and create a better network.

To be more patient, with Olivia (I have a feeling I’m gonna need this one) my driving, my limitations I put on myself, and those silly silly people out there who frustrate me.

To accomplish my goals for Amy Twitty Photography and finish my studio. Bring on the clients!

To bake with Olivia.

To know when to rest and enough is enough. To know when to laugh or when to be mature. To know when to be honest without the fear of hurting someone else. To know when to listen. To know when to take a deep breath.

Here we go 2010! This better be a good one because I am honestly glad to see 2009 hit the road!
