And as always,
I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I
accomplished my goals.
September Goals
Personal
Y Positivity, worry less, complain less, be
kind, patience, relationships. – Y’all, after
suffering from more worry and anxiety than ever this year, I finally feel like
I’ve gotten a grasp on it. Meditating
and quiet time have done a world of good for me and I’ve really started
learning to let go and give it to God more.
I’m still a work in progress and I plan to elaborate on this eventually
on the blog, but for now I’m just going to revel in the glory of my newfound lightheartedness
and pray that I can make it last. Turns
out that facing your worries/anxiety head on also helps with other things… I
feel like kindness and patience have come much more easily to me now that I’m
not feeling so frustrated and smothered by worry.
Y Continue quiet time/meditating. – I did this religiously this month, only
missing two days when we were out of town for the Georgia
N Make bed most days. – I probably only made the bed about half of the time this month, but
that’s okay. Monday – Friday I’m not
really in my bedroom very much so it doesn’t bother me that it’s unmade.
Y Make it to at least one bible study. – I not only made it to one, I made it to
TWO! And this in conjunction with my
meditation and quiet time with my devotional has really helped me so much.
Y Have a girls dinner. – We made it out for Mex and margs to celebrate my friend, April’s,
birthday and we had the best time catching up!
Health
Y Drink 64 oz. water per day. – I achieved this goal almost every single day
this past month. I’ve been so good about
it.
Y Hit the gym at least 2 times per week. – Made it two times every week the whole
month!
Y Continue eating 4-5 servings of fruits and
veggies and whole foods most days. – Yep,
still making my green smoothie most days, eating an apple almost every day, and
also still incorporating other veggies like carrots, spinach, and green beans
with my lunches.
Y Meet with dentist for TMJ update. – Met with him and he has decided to start
spreading my appointments further apart since I’m doing so well.
Y Meet with GI doc for reflux update. – Met with him and he switched my reflux med
to see if it works better than my current med.
Y Annual womens well visit. – Met with her for my annual check-up and all
is well!
Y Annual skin check at the dermatologist. – Met with her and got a clean bill of health
for another year!
Y Schedule appt with new doc to assess health
issues since I can’t get answers. – All
of my paperwork is filled out and in their system and now I’m waiting (not so) patiently
for them to call with my first appointment.
Family
N Ride bikes if the weather hopefully cools
off. – The weather never cooled off. In fact, it got even hotter, so we didn’t
even consider doing this. #NotMyFault
Y Watch Jacob play baseball! – He’s played in several games now and we’re
really enjoying watching him do his thang!
He’s improved so much in the short amount of time he’s been playing.
Y Attend Home & School meeting for spring
event. – Check!
Y Attend Home & School meeting for fall carnival
and start planning. – Check! And planning is underway!
Y Attend the Georgia
vs. Notre Dame college football game in Athens
Y Take Olivia for her quarterly thyroid check-up,
take 2. – Yes, and we got good news! Her cyst has officially stabilized (meaning
that it hasn’t grown any in the last 3 months) so the
doc allowed us to spread our appointments further apart.
Y Research restaurants
to book for Disney World trip and pass along to our agent. – Yes!
Our table service reservations have been booked!
Home
Y Get house decorated for fall. – Yes, and it’s my favorite year for
decorations yet!
Y Clean out fall decorations. – Got this done, too, and got rid of lots of
stuff!
Y Sort all clothes to sell by
season/gender/sizes and list more on Poshmark. – Got this done and uploaded lots of items!
Y Sell old Halloween
costumes. – Tried to sell and nobody
wanted them, so I donated them instead.
Y Donate home décor
items that haven’t sold on Facebook Market. – I ended up not selling much on FB Market so I just took them to our
local outreach center instead.
Y Do 10 things on
Master To-Do list. – I actually did 12
things on my list this month! I
organized some pictures on my computer, made a couple more music play lists in
iTunes that I’ve been wanting to make, updated my list of things to do for each
blog post, cleaned out my Amazon wish list and split them into four different
ones so it’s easier to find stuff (books, clothes, kids, other), amended an old
blog post to include some info I’d forgotten, and a few other things. I also didn’t add anything new to the list
this month, so that’s good, too!
Blog
Y Get
ahead on blog posts. – Even though I didn’t
get as far along as I wanted, I did start working on a couple of posts for
December, so it’s a start!
Y Work
on some housecleaning stuff for blog. – Yes,
I cleaned up a few things on the backside, but there’s still so much I want to
do.
Y Pitch to 2-3
brands. – I pitched to three and I’m just
waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed!
N Take several
photos for both IG accounts to have on hand for times when I have nothing else
to post. – Sure didn’t. Sigh.
Still not motivated to do this for some reason…
N Start
focusing on essential oils business since I still use and love them all the
time. – Nope, but I’m hoping to get
started soon.
