Wake-up Call Challenge

micron_2

OK I have thought about it and I have ended up with a long list of things that I need a wake up call on. To start with I'll go with:

1. Health and Fitness - Need to lose at least 1 stone, lower cholesteral, exercise at least 4 times a week.
2. Finances - save £10K by December 2010 - spent all my savings on a new car and would like to recoup at least half of it back. Get all finance paperwork up-to-date - got stacks and stacks of it to go through - yuck!
3. De-clutter environment - clothes, books, paperwork, garage etc
4. Become more organised and stop procrastinating
5. Start my home study courses (x5) which I purchased over three years ago.

I think that will do for now.

Everybody, please feel free to give me a massive kick if I'm not working on any of the above. Thanks.

Hi Micron

What are the home study courses you are doing? (nosy Dragons want to know!)

micron_2

Hi, studying (or I should say suppose to be) Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Child Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling and NLP. I don't know what's stopping me from just getting on with it as I actually enjoy all aspects of these subjects.

Don't apologise for asking questions, ask away. That's what we are all here for.

I am doing them with the School of Natural Health Sciences. You get a diploma at the end and can have initials (not degree level) after your name if you pass. I am doing these courses before I seriously consider doing a degree in Psychology. They are a specialist distance learning school providing practitioner level training in major holistic therapies. The courses do not expire once you have purchased themn (thank goodness otherwise I would have lost my money!). They always have special offers/discounts. If you are interested I can PM you some more details.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

I'm sure you are not as old as I am!! If you want to re-train as a counsellor then they may be a good option. Check them out. I have just sent you a PM or two..... hope I haven't overloaded you!!!!

Yes it would be great to have a "study buddy" to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Hiya!

Can I join please my list is as follows...

Get Debt Free - No time scale on this, however I do want to commit to log on to this site at least once a day, I was doing so well and then in March stopped visiting and now feel lost again :-(

Health / Weight - I want to start going to the gym every other day if possible and also lose weight, can't afford to join a club but want to try and follow weight watchers at home!

Studies - Started a degree last October, this meant I put my NVQ that I am doing through work on the side line, now its the summer holidays I need to get back on top with this and if possible get it finished before returning back to uni for my second year

Relationship - After five years things are pretty much 'set' want to try and get the spark back, finding time to go out with each other, when were in on an evening having the internet off and the PS3 off and when out for lunch or dinner having the mobiles off - me and OH have conversations and we dont even look at each other while they take place! hoping this will also get better as the other stuff improves

I think thats my lot for now :-) xxxx
