September Goals
The countdown to Fall is on and I couldn’t be more excited. I don’t know what it is about this time of year but it is the time that I feel the most energized and inspired to create content. It must be all the Pumpkin Spice Lattes… I just finished my first month as a full-time business owner and have decided to pivot what my business looks like. I signed up for a copywriting course and am so pumped for what is to come! I have also decided to try Blogtober this year and am having a lot of fun planning content for Spooky Season! Keep an eye on this…

2022 Word of the Year
I feel like I have tried every type of goal-setting strategy that is available. None of them have seemed to keep my attention for very long and as a recovering perfectionist, it’s hard to get past the “failure” at the end of another year. In 2021 I didn’t even set goals just promised to show up for myself but that turned out to be the easiest promise to break of them all. I am not deterred though and am approaching things a little differently this year. I started seeing mentions on Instagram and Youtube of people who pick a word for their year. I read a few articles about it…

2021 Reflections
In 2021, I felt less direction, less focus, my boundaries have become non-existent, my self-care took a back seat, and I let stress consume me and let little things ruin my entire day. I took out my frustration on my husband and I spoke badly about myself and my body. I broke promises to myself over and over and have developed a lack of trust in myself and my capabilities. It was a hard year in my personal life. It’s heartbreaking to watch one of the people you love the most in the whole world self-destruct. Watch their depression, anxiety, and addiction take the driver’s seat and watch them hit…

3 Goals for October
It’s SPOOKY Season! It’s the beginning of my favorite time of the year! It’s the time of year when I feel the most inspired and I have so many fun things planned for the blog this month. I am looking forward to cooler weather, beautiful foliage, Jake’s birthday, and Halloween! 1. Wake up one hour earlier on weekdays I used to get up between 5 and 5:30 am and in the last few years, that time has crept up and sometimes I get up with just enough time to shower and leave for work. I long for slower mornings and I think waking up an hour earlier than I do…

3 Goals for August
I’ve done a few of these types of posts this year and for the most part, I have achieved what I set out to do in those posts. The reason I like setting goals for each month is that the time period is short and the goals I set can be part of the stepping stones towards achieving a bigger goal I have. This month I am focusing on self-care habits and creating a routine that works for me. I am feeling in a funk right now and am trying to shake it off. I am hoping the goals below will help me with that. 1. Workout 3 times per…

3 Goals for April
Hi there! I took another hiatus for personal reasons at the end of February and all of March but I am back for April with fresh new content and a new posting schedule! My new schedule will be every Monday and Friday and I hope, an increase in some Insta-content in between! Back in February, I set myself three attainable goals for the month. They were simple and I was able to achieve them by making small changes to my routine and I would consider the month a success! I enjoyed myself so much I decided to set 3 more goals for April! 1. JOURNAL AT LEAST 4 TIMES PER…

3 Goals for February
January always seems NEVERENDING. When February finally comes around, I feel like a whole year has passed already. That is a little dramatic, but it always feels like the longest month of the year and I just felt like setting some attainable goals for February would be just what I need to jump start the rest of this year! I decided not to set resolutions this year, but I like the idea of a few monthly goals to focus on. At this point in time, having some small goals to focus on will be helpful! 1. Pack lunch for work everyday Admittedly, I have been not the greatest at packing…
