30 Days of Me: Day 8

Day 8- Short term goals for this month and why:

I’m not really into goals…short term or long term. That sounds bad but it’s sort of true. If anything I have more ideas than goals, if that makes sense. It’s not that I don’t make plans or “goals” for myself but tacking on the term goal just doesn’t work for me. I don’t know how to explain why so much. I still accomplish things but without the term goal being attached to it there’s less pressure, I guess, and less disappointment should I not complete what I had in mind or complete it in time. It may be more of a head game I play with myself but it’s one that works for me.

If I had to have a goal or goals, it’s to finish this 30 Days of Me “challenge” this month and to get Christmas shopping started. The why of it all really is just because I want to.

I’ve wanted to start writing daily and this is a great challenge to get that accomplished. I found the idea at a perfect time since it was the end of a month. Writing, even if it’s nonsense about nothing, helps ungarble the chaos that’s in my brain. I think it helps quiet my mind so I can close my eyes and sleep at night.

As for Christmas shopping, who doesn’t want to start Christmas shopping early. Not that starting in November is early to some people but it’s early for me.
