Morning Challenges to Goal Setting

Today is Sunday and I am looking to set my goals for today. As with any day, there are challenges to everything.

This morning I woke up before anyone in the house to try and get my day started off right with some goal setting. I started brewed my morning coffee started up my laptop and… low and behold my niece comes down the stairs and asks what I am doing. I told her that I am just having some coffee and doing some work. She smiled at me and sat down on the couch close to me.

My coffee needed a little bit more sugar so I proceeded to the kitchen to balance the bitterness of my coffee. She followed right behind me and stated said, “I’m a little hungry” .  So we discussed breakfast options and decided on cereal. I prepared our morning cereal and, of course, the second niece comes down the stairs and asks for cereal as well. As I sat with my nieces, I though how lucky I am to have this experience on a relaxed Sunday morning.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, I noticed that my morning goal setting has been unexpectedly pushed back by full hour and a half. (So much for getting a jump start before anyone is awake for the day)

So here is my point point for this morning…. every day we have challenges. Most of them will be unexpected and some are happy serendipitous situations, others not as enjoyable, but as we move through our days it is still important to start off right. I have just finished taking a short fifteen minutes to set my goals for the day.

One of them being this blog post. = ]

We all have challenges, but remember goal setting helps you have guidance thorough your day and it only takes a few minutes a day. Keeping pushing forward and if you needed take that side-step but always remember to correct your course.
