Let’s
see how I did in February and then we’ll move on to the March goals.
As
always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I
accomplished my goals.
February Goals
Personal/Connect
Y Worry,
rush, and complain less, live in the present and choose joy. – Worry is a
daily struggle for me and unfortunately it probably always will be, but I feel
like I’ve been very aware of it and I’m learning to redirect my thoughts,
too. So I’m giving myself a yes for this
for effort.
Y Be
positive, confident, and kind and don’t sweat the little things. – Mostly,
yes.
Y
Attend the annual benefit ball for our school with B.
Y
Go on one other date night with B. – We went out to dinner and tried
a new restaurant!
Y
Attend bible study. – I was able to attend once this month. Not ideal, but better than nothing!
Y
Attend February Book Club.
Y
Attend the Home & School Association meeting for February.
Y
Attend the school spring event meeting(s).
Y
Celebrate Grandparents Day at the kids’ school.
Y
Have a mommy/son date night. – Jacob and I had dinner together while
B and Olivia were at the Daddy/Daughter dance.
N Meet
a girlfriend for lunch. – I never took the time to arrange something.
N Get
outside and walk with Maui while the kids are at school. – It literally
rained almost every single day in February so I legit never had a chance to
take her. There were a couple of sunny
days here and there but they were either weekend days or weekdays where I already
had something planned.
Y Do
something special for kids for the first two weeks of February for Valentine’s
Day. – I wrote one thing I love about each of them on a heart and taped it
to their doors each evening after they went to bed.
Y Continue
putting the phone away each evening before dinner until after kids are in bed.
Y Hang
out with kids after dinner every evening. – Baseball had us scrambling more
often than not, so there weren’t many opportunities to do this, but we did it
when we could!
Y Host
a Super Bowl get together at our house.
Y Start
reading a new self improvement book. – I started How to Win Friends and
Influence People because so many people recommended it.
Health/Beauty
Y Find
a couple of new healthy lunches (for me) to throw into the rotation. – Avocado
toast on Dave’s Killer Bread and sweet potatoes mashed up with cinnamon.
Y Meditate
most days. – I meditated every single day in the month of February. I’m on a two month streak!
Y Quiet
time most days. – I did quiet time every single day in the month of February...
another two month streak!
Y Drink
64 oz. water most days.
Y Work
out at the gym twice per week.
Y Try
out a new machine at the gym. – I started using the stair stepper, the hip
abductor machine, and the hip adductor machine.
Y Find
an essential oil to use during my meditations. – I’ve found that Peace &
Calming seems to ground me the most during my meditations, but I also like
Frankincense and Vetiver.
Y Organize
my prayer list.
Y Continue
visiting with therapist.
N Experiment
with my hair and find a new way to style it. – I never took the time to do
this one.
Family
N Make
two more Whole 30 meals for dinner. – I made one and purchased the
ingredients to make the second, but I never had a chance to.
Y Finalize
Disney plans. – Our entire trip is booked, Memory Maker has been added to
the package, everything is paid in full, a stroller is lined up, and we are just
counting down the days until we get to leave!
N Get
kids to practice riding bikes without training wheels as much as possible. – Too
much rain and too much baseball did not allow for this.
N Attend
a UGA basketball game, take 2. – We’d planned on attending the home game the
last Saturday of the month, but B threw out his back and cannot sit for long
periods of time, so we decided not to go.
The car ride there and back + sitting at the game just wouldn’t be good
for him and we really need him to heal fully for Disney World!
Y Finish
preparing for Valentine’s Day.
Y Celebrate
Valentine’s Day.
Y Prepare
for Brian’s birthday.
Y Celebrate
Brian’s birthday.

relabeled some old storage boxes, B preserved the old news segments that we had
recorded from when my grandfather died, and a few other things were done.
N Research
condos for beach trip, take 2.

ReplyDeleteThe next few months are going to be so crazy! I love the idea of scaling back and making sure you are working towards attainable things. I can't stand putting something on my list knowing I probably won't get to it. I hope you have a great weekend!
