Even though this year has flown by so quickly I have whiplash, I am still so happy to welcome November.
Not just because it’s my birthday month (hey girl, heeeey), but also because it means the holiday season is officially upon us! I’m currently trying to restrain myself from decorating for Christmas, because that means that I will actually have to start Christmas shopping….but I digress.
A new month also means new goals. New intentions. New mindsets.
Although I’ve always been a list-maker, I’m new to setting monthly intentions/goals for myself. But I am now obsessed with it! While I don’t always share them on social media in the form of a creative drawing, I do still write them down at the beginning of the month and put them in a place where I see them daily.
With that said, here are my personal goals for November…
Don’t be so hard on myself. It’s true that we’re our own worst critics, and it’s even more true when you’re Type A like myself. Instead of worrying about the things I can’t change or couldn’t accomplish, I want to focus all of my energy on the things I CAN change and the tasks that I got done.
Say “thank you” more and “I’m sorry” less. I saw this on an Insta friend’s feed and loved it! My husband has always told me I say “sorry” way too often - even when I have nothing to be sorry about! Definitely something I need to work on!
Eat more whole foods. While I do eat healthy, I have noticed that with all of our traveling/events that I have been eating more “processed” foods than normal (crackers, bars, etc.). No, that’s not always a bad thing, because #life. But I’ve also noticed that my digestion has been effected as a result; bloating, constipation, etc. No thank you! So I’m swapping those foods for more whole foods - think zoodles instead of gluten-free pasta, oats instead of toast (far less ingredients), etc.
What are your goals or intentions for the month? I’d love to hear them!
XO
