Measuring Monday: Purpose

As I have previously stated, I have long been one for New Years resolutions, but in 2018 I set an intention or the year and that was BALANCE. Of course I have goals, but what I truly intended to do was regain and maintain balance. Which I was pretty successful at and will always be a work in progress, but I learned a lot in 2018. When it came to 2019 I had a lot of ideas of what I wanted my intention for the year to be, but when I boil it down the word is PURPOSE.

I’m fine with being random at times, but I don’t want to be aimless or worse, wasteful. As Newton’s third law of motion tells us, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” Therefore I want my actions to have purpose, meaning, thought, and intention. It’s becoming a daily habit when it comes to choices especially when choosing between things I am actively trying to choose the option that will bring me closer to my goals and my life’s purpose. It could be a choice between what I eat, who I spent my free time with, what time I wake up, how to best use my money, and more.

I want to the choices I make to get me closer to or achieve the following which – is far from complete and in no particular order:

  • Reaching a healthy BMI for the first time ever as an adult
  • Getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night
  • Becoming debt free before the end of 2020 (student loans and renovation loan)
  • Regularly teach fitness class
  • Growing my website/blog/social media following
  • Starting a podcast
  • Consuming content that feeds my soul or teaches me something
  • Healing my inner child
  • Writing more including a manuscript
  • Working only the hours absolutely required of me at my day job
  • Spending more time outside
  • Phasing out toxic relationships
  • Attending regular live theatre performances and/or concerts
  • Going on more dates with my fiance
  • Reaching other financial goals and milestones
  • Practicing regular self care
  • Being kinder and gentler to myself and others
  • Harnessing my creative side
