I tried to do this organization challenge and couldn't get through Day 3 - my life is in too much flux right now to pin-point goals, etc. beyond moving. Today I cam across my notes and didn't want to just throw them away, since I put a lot of thought into them.

DAY 1

Brainstorm of things that are important to me (in random order):

• love
• balance
• support
• achieving goals
• financial responsibility
• family
• healthy lifestyle
• educating my children about health ways
• maintaining important and meaningful relationships
• accomplishments
• not holding things inside
• being an authentic & true person
• making a difference in other lives
• helping people discover their passions & dreams - purpose
• inventing new lessons, programs, etc. (B.E.S.T. at UH)

CURRENT GOALS:

• Not only being happy (which is NOT achievable 24/7), but being balanced.
• Understanding my emotions & reacting appropriately: not over -or- under
• Mapping a career plan & steps needed for my return in ______ years.
• Supporting my family/friends without sacrificing myself. Quit "topping-off" everyone else, so I am less than "half full" and often nearly empty.
• Rediscover optimism!
• Exiting AUS in an organized & low stress way.
• Re-entering USA with reasonable expectations about: timeline, city/location, family's adjustment.

Day 2

My Top 3 Goals:

1) Family - Being present & actively involved in the moments with my family and showing/vocalizing their importance to me.

2) Myself - Maintaining balance & perspective about my emotional & physical well being.

3) Health - Consistently practicing healthy living through nutrition & exercise, while educating my family about healthy living's importance with my example.

Once these are established:

• Give to others
• Career path
