It seems like I
was posting about my January goals and now here we are, already posting about
February’s. Before we get into
February’s goals, let’s see how I did in January…
As always, I’m
using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I
accomplished my goals.
January Goals
Personal/Connect
Y Worry, rush, and complain less, live in the
present and choose joy. – I think this
might have been my best month for this yet.
Granted, it was a pretty good month overall so I wasn’t challenged a lot,
but I’m hoping to keep this up.
Y Be positive, confident, and kind. – I was very mindful of these each of the
times I was outside my comfort zone and I think I did well with it.
Y Movie night with Momma. – We saw Little Women and I really enjoyed it.
Y Text two friends I haven’t talked to in a
while just because. – Sure did!
Y Lunch with old coworkers. – I actually went to lunch twice with old
coworkers, one of whom I hadn’t seen in months.
Y Attend bible study (assuming we resume this
month). – We did resume and I was able to
attend both that we had this month!
Y Help out with raffle ticket data entry at
kids’ school. – I was able to help out
with this three times!
Y Attend Home & School Association meeting
for January.
Y Attend the school spring event meeting. – I attended two!
Y Get outside and walk with Maui
while the kids are at school at least twice. – Did this twice!
Y Put phone away each evening before dinner
until after kids are in bed. – Did this
almost every evening!
Y Stop scrolling through phone in public and
interact with others more. – Yep! I’ve barely used my phone at ballet and,
instead, I’ve been talking with all of the other moms more.
Y Read Emily Ley’s book When Less Becomes More. – Yessss
and it was so good that I blew through it.
I couldn’t put it down.
Y Start making a list of special things I can
do for others.
Health
Y Meditate every single day of the month. – I meditated every single day… did not miss
one day!
Y Quiet time every single day of the month. – Same!!
Y Drink 64 oz. water most days.
Y Work out at least three times per week
(gym/walk around neighb/stair stepper).
Y Have a check-up at the allergist.
Y Visit with therapist at least two times.
Family
Y Hang out with kids after dinner every
evening. – Some evenings we did organized
activities and some evenings I just watched them play. I’m starting to like “wasting” time!
Y Don’t be so hard on the kids/don’t sweat the
little things.
Y Make at least two Whole 30 meals for dinner.
– I made Rosemary Balsamic Sheet Pan
Chicken with Bacon and Apples one evening and Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken with
Butternut Squash another evening. Both
were very good.
Y Book fast passes for Disney World trip.
Y Get kids to practice riding bikes without
training wheels as much as possible. – Only
did this once, but we did get the training wheels removed from their bikes and
had them ride without the training wheels for the first time, so we’re making
progress!
N/A Attend a UGA basketball game. – Well, we had tickets to one and we were
really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, Jacob ended up having baseball
tryouts the same day so we had to sell our tickets. Since it was out of our control, I’m just
crossing this one off the list.
Y Schedule Olivia’s six-year well-visit at the
doctor.
Y Sign Jacob up for baseball for spring season.
Home
Y Photograph kids’ art from first half of year
and file papers to keep.
Y Clean out front room – game cabinet/side
table.
Y Clean out living room – entertainment
center/coffee table/side tables.
Y Clean out play room – bins/shelves.
Y Clean out refrigerator.
Y Clean out pantry.
Y Clean out master closet. – Got rid of 30 tops, 6 bottoms, 6 pairs of
shoes and boots, 3 handbags, 2 necklaces, and 2 old shoe boxes!
Y List 3 large items for sale on Facebook. – All 3 were listed and 2 are sold and
gone! Just need that last item to sell!
Y Start researching vehicles.
Y Complete 3 things on Master To-Do list. – I ended up doing 5 things on my list, plus I
went through and deleted 4 other items that were no longer applicable, so 9
items were removed from the list this month.
I blew this goal out of the water and I feel like I didn’t even have to
try. A few of the things I accomplished
was that I bought the last book to complete my vignette on our DVD dresser, I
labeled all of our holiday decorations boxes (some were already labeled but a
lot of them weren’t), B got a new desk chair for me for my office, I cleaned
off my computer desktop, and I got a pillow for the chair in my office… and the
best part is that I shopped my own house so I didn’t have to spend any
money! We already had it on hand and it
wasn’t in use.
Y Decorate for Valentine’s Day.
Y Start preparing for Valentine’s Day. – The kids picked out their Valentine’s cards
and treats to give out at school, we bought the teacher’s gifts, I bought cards
for B and the kids, and I’ve started looking around for little gifts to give
each of them.
N Start researching condos for beach trip.
Blog
Y Get caught up
on content after taking a break last month.
Y Plan blog
content for first quarter.
Y Instagram –
