Every year we get a chance to look back at the past year and see what we have done. Maybe what we haven’t gotten done and decide if we would like to carry that forward into the next year. This year is the end of a decade so it’s a great time to write our plans for the next decade.
What do you think this goat is seeing in her future?
I know how important it is to write down goals, but I still have trouble doing it. My personality falls toward the organizing type so why don’t I do this.
It gets back to setting down and taking the time. In all my busyness I don’t take the time I want to organize things. Or I spend too much time micromanaging something that I don’t need to and don’t get around to the real task.
I also have a desire for perfectionism or maybe this is better termed a fear of failure. Sometimes it keeps me frozen and unable to move on with something.
I also tend to marinate ideas. For instance, I started writing this a few days ago then I put it aside uncompleted so I could turn the ideas over in my head. Now it’s a must do situation to make my self-imposed deadline. Yes, in that time I got some important things done, but now it’s crunch time.
We all need a place to jump in.
I believe my wanting to marinate ideas stems from my perfectionism. I want my writing to be perfect and therefore I get too busy to complete it. I end up doing it at the last minute and that doesn’t feel very good.
The funny thing is that people seem to like my writing most when I feel like it’s not very good. Like several years ago when I was working on a logo design for someone and was pushed to show it to them when I didn’t feel like it was done. The client loved it and it needed hardly any more work.
You see I know in my head that done is better than perfect but it’s really hard for that troll to stop shouting in my ear that I’m not good enough. It’s not good enough. You don’t know enough.
I have a vision that I wrote when I started the Equine Gestalt Coaching program. In 2020 I’m starting a new chapter of my learning of Gestalt. I will need to take a look at my year and come up with a plan to make this goal and my vision easier to accomplish.
I have a coach who is highly organized and I’m hoping she will help me with this but ultimately it falls back on my doing it.
I’m offering a Visioning Weekend to help you work on your vision. Be it for the next year or the next decade. Join me as I look back at the past year/decade and look forward to what lies ahead.
