There are times when I am careful of what I  concentrate on when it comes to setting goals. Quite often if you are present and paying attention those things actually happen. There are times that I purposely set goals that dare myself to go beyond  my comfort zone and the same with the benefits I bestow upon myself if I achieve those goals. This  scares me a little but I absolutely follow through with these benefits when I achieve my goals and I believe this type of goal setting or as I call it daring yourself increases your comfort zone adding new experiences you might never try unless you push and challenged yourself. When the New Year comes around I think we all stop and give some thought to how we can make our life and that of others better and more fulfilling. One of my thoughts New Years eve is to try to keep negative thoughts and feelings out of my life. Yes they are all around us but I believe it is a choice we can make to exclude them from our minds. Being aware of negativity is a great start.
For years my favorite writer on this subject has been Eckhart Tolle, his book The Power of Now is a life changer.
On to lighter subject matter and back to daring myself. I like little goals with benefits that make me just a little nervous. Many of the more superficial but fun goals and benefits have to do with my body, weight and working out along with wearing sexy swimwear. Some examples would be reaching a weight goal and wearing an Invisible Venture anal suit to the beach, this WILL happen when I hit my 155LBS goal, maybe I should have some pictures shot and post them, that would push my comfort zone.
