You may have noticed I tagged my last post with ‘postamonth2012′. Last year I tried to do postaday2011, however if you read my blog you’ll have noticed that fell in a big fat hole sometime around July.

I think I set goals for myself that seem realistic initially, but in the scheme of life are just overly ambitious. I’m just not the kind of person that can stick to doing something every day, but if I’ve said I’m going to I beat myself up for not doing it. This year I need to set more realistic goals for myself – much as I would love to blog every day, exercise every day, make lunch instead of buying it every day, make sure the dishes get done every day, sometimes I’m just to damn tired. Actually, quite a lot of the time I’m just too damn tired. So this year, I’d like to be nicer to myself. Set the bar a little lower, so that when I jump I can actually reach it.

Lofty goals are great, but sometimes it’s better to give yourself a chance to have a win.
