Five on Friday - June Goals

May was B-U-S-Y and ended on a very sour note, but surprisingly, I managed to accomplish almost everything on my list.

Today I’m recapping my May goals and listing my June goals.  June goals are going to look a bit different/more generic than they were originally going to since Olivia broke her arm, but we’re just going to try to roll with it.  As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals. 




May Goals

Relationships/Connect/Be the Light

Y  Start volunteering at the school again. – Yes!  I was able to help out with our spring event, and I was able to volunteer inside the school for Teacher Appreciation Week!  It was so dang good to be back!

Y  Have lunch with a friend. – I was able to go on, not one, but TWO lunch dates, each with an old co-worker-turned-friend.  I hadn’t seen either of them since before the pandemic, so both were wonderful reunions!

Y  Plan a girls dinner outside. – Yep, we got our dinner plans in place!

                                                                                     

Personal/Health/Wellness/Fitness/Beauty

Y  Meditate, quiet time, and affirmations every day.

Y  Drink 64 oz. most days. 

N  Close all rings on my Apple Watch at least 15 days. – I only closed them 12 times.  I was on a roll after the kids got out of school, and I had big plans to work out every single day for the rest of the month, and then Olivia broke her elbow so that didn’t happen.

Y  Visit with therapist via Zoom.

Y  Visit with my new general practitioner for the first time.

Y  Read DARE.

Y  Read 1 fiction book. – I ready Firefly Lane and loved it!

Y  Load up on books for summer.

Y  Attend our school’s spring event.

Y  Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week.

Y  Celebrate Mother’s Day.

Y  Wrap up baseball and have an end-of-season celebration.

Y  Wrap up dance and watch Olivia perform in her recital.

Y  Get celebratory milkshakes or ice cream to end the school year!!!!

Y  Record a video every single day of the month and upload to my One Second a Day app.

Y  Start working on our summer bucket list.

 

Home/Organization/Planning

Y  Book our Disney trip!!!!

Y  Start planning new things to do on beach trip.

N  List more summer clothes on Poshmark.

Y  Buy ferns for porch, take 2.

Y  Take down school year bulletin board and put up summer bulletin board in mudroom.

Y  Photograph, recycle, and file kids’ school and artwork from this school year.

Y  Complete 1 thing on Master To-Do list. – I did two things!  Woo hoo!

    1. I use the Calm app. I started using the free version and it was so wonderful that I ended up buying a year subscription so I could see what else they offer. I loved the paid version so much that I bought a lifetime subscription last year and I it has been worth every penny. It's pricey, but just before Christmas every year they put it on sale for 50 or 60% off (or maybe more?? I can't remember) so I was able to get a great deal on it. I'll use it every single day forever so it was worth the money to me. That said, I know everyone is not willing to shell out that kind of money, but I highly recommend the free version of the app, too! It is really great!
