I've never had problems with setting goals - it's always been the opposite. I get so busy setting goals that I'm not able to accomplish half of what I imagine I should. Sometimes this gets me down but usually I'm so "up" that I just go to the next idea. I try really hard to be consistent and follow things through but it takes a lot. Right now I'm working 40 hours a week (against professional advice), raising my 3 kids, helping my husband look for a job, getting my dad set up with the VA for medical care and training to walk a half marathon in May. I think I was hypomanic through most of my high school career and I relate that speed as being "me". It's very hard to put down the cape and not try to be superwoman. Your health cards help a great deal when the speed gets to be too much - which is quite frequently. Thanks for the help. Hey Julie!
