Day 193 - Communication

I went on a communication skills course at work today - don't even get me started - we covered Emotional Intelligence - which gave me a little food for thought - although I had already covered EI in a leadership course earlier in the week - and a million times before in my previous professional life - but what can you do? - Other than make them stop sending you on the set syllabus for your job level and come across as uncooperative.

I also did a lot of thinking about goal setting. I really was terribly non specific about goals you know - mainly because I had no idea what to set and whether it was realistic for me. I have goals all over the place - one says 9st 3 one says 9st 10 another 9st 9. I think all I can safely say is that I want to see what 9st something feels like.

And it's not just my weight goals - it's my life goals - I am terribly unspecific and unambitious with them - but now I know that I can achieve incredibly huge things in a very small space of time I want to set myself some big (but SMART) goals for the second half of this year.

I started work on this at work this afternoon - so my big goals will go up soon. This blog will come to an end shortly (I only really have it here to keep it out of the main blogosphere and relatively free of comments - I also like the measuring tools, so it's been a nice place to keep all that info) so my first mini goal will be to get my website sorted out enough to host a proper management blog (and the basis for my book).

I have terrible wind. I've been overdoing it on the water flavourings so I only have myself to blame!

I am also starting to get quite angsty about my missing period (I came on 2 weeks early in Crete (but round about the full moon which is usually when I come on like clockwork) and haven't had a period since so I assume it's just a 'been on LL too long' kind of thing) -  I can't possibly be pregnant  - but you know what it's like when you worry about this stuff.
