Speaking of goals! Maybe you already picked yours out and have a plan in place to start working towards it. AWESOME!!! If not, I'd like to introduce you today to my current favorite encourager #rachelhollis.
Y'all have probably heard of her but if not let me just tell you what I love. I started out reading Girl Wash Your Face at the suggestion of two different friends having no prior knowledge of who she was. There was so much encouragement and truth in that book and she just bares her soul as a friend to try to help a girl out.
While the book was great I didn't immediately become a groupie but I did start following her on Instagram and discovered her #Starttodaymorningshow which is so entertaining.
From that, I found her #Rise podcast and her #Risetogether marriage podcast. (Bonus points if you can get your husband to listen to this one with you and discuss the things that come up!) If you don't already have a podcast app on your phone get one today and subscribe to these two!
For today's purpose I'd like to point you to episode 72 on the Rise podcast. She talks about journaling but more than that about breaking down your 10 year lofty dreams into one tangible goal that you can start working on TODAY!
The problem she mentions that has always plagued me is that I try to do all the goals at once and I fail. It may go well for a week or two but then life happens. But one goal!? You can do one goal! I can do one goal! I highly encourage finding some time to listen in and sit down with a notebook and start scribbling ALL your dreams down no matter if they are even tangible. Then go back and underline the 10 that really light your heart on fire and finally pick one dream and put legs on it. Keep working on the same one goal until it's a habit, then move on. Where could you be in 10 years if you would wake up every morning and write out this list of ten things.
The real secret is to write all ten things as if they were already true. Such as "I live in Paris." "I've memorized the book of Proverbs." I am a doctor." My current one for my goal is "I only speak things that uplift and encourage." This has plagued me for years! So much negative talk. Self talk, gossip, snapping at the kids in frustration. It's been what I've hated most about myself and I've never been able to break it. If you see me out and hear me slipping feel free to set me straight! 😉
Also, I'd love to see your lists or share mine with you or help you in the process if you're having a hard time knowing where to start!
