1000 day plan and 1000 actions - I am going to be 50 (hopefully)

G and I were talking this morning about age. I am priding myself on not looking 46. Had my hair chopped off this week (big step as I used my long hair to hide behind) and whilst I am not completely thrilled with it (nowhere to hide anymore!!) I also think it makes me look EVEN younger. But I realised that I am going to be 50 and about 1250 days *YOWSER*

What better time to start my 1000 day plan and kick it off with 1000 actions towards health, strength and feeling vibrant in my 50's. We did a 500 mile walk for G's 50th birthday, God knows what I am going to dream up for my 50th birthday celebrations. Actually I already know one thing I would like to do. I want to organise a very special cruise for and with the many wonderful women I know who will also be turning 50 in 2012.

I do not have a plan with specific goals at the moment other than the words/feeling of health, strength and vibrancy. I am more and more of the opinion that in particular life goals benefit from being kept 'loose' as the emphasis should be more on what I am actually doing today and enjoying it than what I will have/be at the end of it. Life is unpredictable and it gets very frustrating when it decides to get in the way of my carefully laid out plans. I have done enough 'beating myself up' to last several life times and want to reduce that rather than add more pressure on myself. The goal will reveal itself in due time if there is something specific to be achieved. My 1000 days plan is about living today and taking action for my benefit.

I do not have an exact plan for my 1000 actions either. One action could take hours, another seconds. They are all initiated by something I actually have done on that day. Giving somebody a spontaneous hug could be an action. Doing a 10km long walk could be another. Just taking time to be grateful for something is also highly acceptable :)

To count on the 'Mind over Batter' list they just need to contribute to my health, strength and vibrancy. I am sure that the emphasis will change over time, at the moment my mind is set on working out, improving my eye sight and finding a balanced diet that is making me feel good. 20 actions a week would be good but hey, who is counting?
