Remember when we used to goal-set each month? Few, very few, still do this online it seems because something about spring 2020 made people stop trying. Truly, there was no reason to set aside every personal goal, but we did it anyway. For me, personally, it was the "two moves in two years" that did it. It's easy to stop caring when you're never settled.
But, it's the perfect time to start anew...
1. Read a book. Nope. FINISH a book. I've started and I've read multiple books since September. I've only finished one and that's...humiliating (is humiliating the right word? I think it is).
2. Go through baby boxes. I need to sort what I will use for the new baby vs. what I need to get rid of. This really entails dragging boxes out of the barn, setting/sorting them in the current guest room and start prepping it to become a nursery. My SIL told me that the 2nd trimester is what is recommended for the nursery prep (and that's exactly what I did last time, btw). Now, at almost 30 weeks, I'm not terrified or anything (is terrified the right word? I think it is). Along with this: Wells needs a new dresser and a bed. I can't promise I'll make those happen this month, though. We need to hang my new mirror and we also need to move a dresser and maybe a toy box around.
3. Use my planner to track: yoga, Pilates, water, and walking. Those are the big things I need to focus on right now. I "practiced" over Christmas break, making sure I got 10-15 minutes of yoga in each day, I walked every other day or so, and I did Pilates for strength training. I really need to shoot for 60 oz+ of water a day. It hasn't been going great in that department.
That's kind of it. If I can accomplish the first two and keep up with the third, I'll be set up for a better February. Fingers crossed.
What are your goals for January???
Is anyone doing actual NY Resolutions? I really got out of practice with it all a few years ago. I will say that 2022 should be the first year since 2016 that we won't move or buy a house. So maybe I have a fighting chance? I need ideas.
