Review of my 'Life Evolve Project' Plan

I started this blog in January 2012 with an intention of evolving my life or propelling my future forward. My original plan included 2 overall goals, some concepts to support these goals as well as my specific goals (below).

As with many aspects of my life, it seems to be my character to be over ambitious... I also faced several challanges - a shoulder injury hindered my exercise goals making it impossible to snowboard, swim or cycle for 3 months and my recurring depression sapped my motivation and energy. NOw that I've overcome these obsicles I am ready to pick up where I left off!

I've added a few notes below as I refect on each goal;

My specific goals are;

• Yoga daily at home daily +3 classes weekly
• I have started my daily practise at home but have not been to any classes yet. Living in an area filled with yogies I feel a little apprehensive about going to a class, it plays into my core beliefs around not fitting in and not being good enough.
• Meditate daily (increasing to 30m per day)
• I'll admit this practise has fallen by the wayside, I intend to start again.
• Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction & Relaxation Workshop (45m per day + weekly class)
• I completed this class and foudn it very helpful
• Writing daily - journal, reflections, Future Forward blog
• I have been writing but I would like to spend more time on this
• Reading daily, see reading list
• My focus and therefore reading list has changed, it now includes 3 books on writing, more on this later 
• Produce and show a Photography art project
• I still really want to do this and now have a clearer idea of what I want to produce and where to show it
• Create and share my 'Home History' art project
• I started this project and gained a great deal of insight into myself by going through the process, I no longer feel it is important but I plan to blog about my experience
• Walk 30+ minutes daily
• As an owner of a large dog this goal is never a problem
• Swim 3 x weekly
• I have started swimming again and my local outdoor pool is very close and almost warm enough!
• Snowboard regularly, improve switch and air skills
• Due to injury I didn't want to risk falling but I did manage 9 days on the mountain last season
• Bike to Granville Island, weekly
• I rode my bike for the first time in 3 years last week!!

My focus now is connecting with a career which is inline with my passions, values, and strengths. I plan to share my experience creating new career for myself in Communications.

Thanks for reading!
