not use the term "have to" for at least one month

This is one of those ongoing goals, but I feel okay about ticking it off: studying is ticking away – because I want to get a second degree, and am proud that I can flex my brain; I’m looking forward to getting back to the gym – because I enjoy using my body, and there are so many benifits from pushing it a little more; and I thoroughly enjoy spending the money my job nets me!

But the main reason I think I’m happy to tick this off, is that while everyone else in my team is having a minor meltdown about work, I very happily do not feel I ‘have to’ stay late, work unpaid overtime, or let the job take over my life. I choose to live with a different main focus – one I choose :)

• I want to…

• There’s an opportunity…
• I’d benefit from…
• I’m glad that I’m capable of…
• I can…
• I’m chosing to…
• I have to do something with my time – ... is as good as anything!
