Chasing your own goals
Are you going to the gym because it helps you to reach your goal of being fit/running 5K or are you going to encourage a friend who won’t stick at it if you don’t push her? Are you running a group because your goal is to bring people together or do you do it because no one else will?

Our Family Agreement
As we sat down to dinner over the weekend, I asked “if there was one thing you could do once a month, just to make you happy, what would it be?”
Planning for Positivity #1
I am going to plan to be positive. I will set myself some small goals each week or month to help me stay positive and, most importantly, I will do all I can to achieve them.
