What are my expectations/goals?

Megan asked me to write down what I was hoping to get from all of this and I find it a very important question. They say if you have no focus, no goal, then you are just going through the motions per say. So, my goal(s).

Goals need to be SMART
S=Specific: what do you really want? Visualize it. Post a picture, a piece of clothing, something that you can see everyday and be reminded what you want.
M=Measurable: this #/amount/whatever by this date. Positive reinforcement with daily affirmations.
I am ________ because I do ________ each day or each week.
A=Action Oriented or Agreed Upon: What steps are you taking to reach your goal and who knows about them?
R=Realistic: Are these goals achievable by approrpriate standards
T=Time: schedule activated. Are your steps in your planner? Have you set a time for each step? Is that time realistic

                 Spend 15 min.writing what I did today.

5). Plan and revisit days, daily in order to know where my focus is and goals are.
                 Take a half hour each day to look at tomorrow and go over today.
                 Set daily goals and review them at days end.

6). Read 6 books: one every other week to enhance brain activity, stimulate growth and escape!
