My 6 Month Check-Up

We all need check-ups and check-ins!  I have been dragging my feet about this one...I owe it to you, my fabulous crew, to let you know how I am doing and where I am at! 


I wrote about my 2011 intentions here (go check it out if you have not seen it...I am quite proud of my plans for 2011!)  I also wrote about by lessons learned from 2010 you can also read about that here but I digress...back to this post and my point.  


I needed to check in with myself and my list to see just how my year is shaping up...we are 6 MONTHS into it for crying out loud!  Where are you with your plans, intentions and goals?  (If you need help with any of we can talk about how I can chat!)


Onto my check-up...


Beautiful Body...
  • Love what I have:  Check! I am who I am.  The body I have been given and how I have taken are of it for the last 38 years is just part of my perfect path! 
  • Sexy Arms:  getting there...I am comfortable showing my arms...they are quick powerful.  I am working on getting them SEXY!  
  • Smaller body size: (goal is for a small bath towel to be able to full wrap around my torso.   It is getting there, which is what gave me the idea in the first place.)   Re-posted original goal as it is quiet a good one.  It is getting closer to being a check than not!  :) 
  • Lose 85lbs: Progress update: 20lbs gone...slow and steady and all my doing!  
  • Move what I have regularly:  getting there with this too!  Will post more when I have more to show.  :) 



Purpose-Driven Business....
  • Launch new blog: Check!  Another one may be coming soon...or atleast a move of sorts.  stay tuned for the evolution of this.  :-)  
  • Money:  Paypal account established.  Working on my relationship with the green stuff.  Really working on my issues hard core.  We have been grappling over the last week. Hoping to get this wrapped up and moving forward soon! 
  • Biz plan: This is in progress.  More to come!  
  • Connect with others:  Check!  Ongoing relationships and connections rocking and keeping me grounded!  
  • Trip to NYC:  this fell off my radar. Need to look into once more and/or look at other viable options.  
  • Learn: CHECK!!  The learning has been amazing!  I could probably write a years worth of posts on just what I have learned in the last 6 months.  Hmm..there is a thought and plan there!  Woooo hoo!  Gonna dig into that one later!   


Heart & Soul....
  • Walk @ the Park:  been to the park...beautiful view! 
    • View in Frick Park March 2011
  • Music Mornings:  Check!  There is something fabulous about cranking a little dancy music to get your blood flowing with the coffee and writing!  
  • Hang out with the people I love:  CHECK!!  Bday party at my house, lots of Cole Cole and Cameron time, girls night at my house, going out to dinner and/or drinks, skype calls, dancing the night away in Madeira, allowing people to take care of me, traveling to see people I love.  Sister time!  Time with Mom!  WOOT!!   




    • Cole Cole & Cameron at his very first movie April 2011
  • Paint: 




  • Use my PTO time:  working on my plan for this.  Still struggling with taking time off.  I am working on this with the support of friends and a very awesome therapist.  :) 
  • Volunteer:  I miss this in my life...need to push this off a bit.  I am ok with that for 2011.  
  • Travel:  CHECK! CHECK! CHECK! Passport Stamp!

As you can see writing things down for me leads to accomplishing them!  This list is being tackled.  My goals are being accomplished.  I actually had my very first official client-coach call today!  I am making it real!  


Now to new goals:  website development and launch, better work-life balance, business plan, clients, making money from coaching.  :)   


I am so excited about where I am going and so excited about where I have come from! 


What are your goals, intentions and plans?  Would love to hear from you!  


Yours on this journey to enoughness!

Look at you go! Congratulations!!! Slow and steady wins the race, friend. You're on your way. You should be very proud. And Celebrate this!

Now for me -- Oh dear. I set the intention to write down goals at the beginning of January and worked on client projects. I decided the Chinese New Year would be better time. then moved it to spring Equinox. and well, maybe summer solstice? YES. Writing down goals very helpful -- I like vision boards, too. Since I'm visual. You know. So, perhaps Coach Nicole can help with that? Last 6 months of 2011. A peek into 2012? Thanks for inspiring!

Nicole said...

Coach Nicole would be honored to work more with you darling! :-) Will be in touch to make this happen. Keep writing and planning. AND KEEP letting go of what is NOT working for you! I give you permission!

XOXOXOXO

Good job Nicole. This post inspired me to look back at my post (http://nickf84.blogspot.com/2011/01/voor-mijn-nederlands-sprekende-vrienden.html) (sorry, it is in Dutch) and also reflect.

After reading my post again, I've come to realize that my Dutch is definitely getting better. And...that was my goal, to speak it more at work, which is exactly what Ive been doing.

So, indirectly, you made my night for inspiring me to look back at my old New Year's post.

PS. Can you believe 2011 is 1/2 over??

Nicole said...

Nick! :-)

That is what is sooooo awesome about inspiration...you never know when it will strike; where it will find you; or who will inspire you!

Honored to have been a little ray of inspiration for you today! :) Much love! xoxoxo
