I’ve been thinking about 2014 and what, if any, goals I have.

For the past few years, I don’t think I’ve been focusing much on me as a person–there were other more concrete things that I could latch on like my family or my career.  They seemed right at the time; no ill feelings towards my choices to date.

With that, there are three things that I want to focus on:

• health
• writing
• reading

Health

There is no doubt that I need to get my act together.  I’ve started Yoga (which is killing me) as a form of low-ish impact exercise.  Granted, there really isn’t any exercise that is low-impact for me.  I guess this is what happens when I’m 40 lbs weight. My goal is to do it consistently, twice a week for 2014. I swear, sometimes it’s like I’ve forgotten how breath.

I really need to pick up my racquet again and join a club.

Writing

I’ve mentioned this before, but writing is a very cathartic experience for me.  I simply do not do it enough.  Often times, I’m conflicted about the stuff I write and whether it has enough gravitas.  I need to get over that and open up.  My goal is to write once a week–and do it for myself. (Besides, it’s not like people are reading this).

Reading

You figure that working at an eReading place would make me read more–it does, but I need to be doing it more.  Much of the reading I do is throw away or work related (“KANBAN!”) or reading with my kids (The Geronimo & Stella Stilton series is getting much traction).  What I really need to do is escape and find those books that distract me and unshackle my mind to dream big again.
