Like any changing of the season, fall makes me feel like I have the ability to change everything in my life. It feels like I can turn over a new leaf (pun intended) and start the projects that I've wanted to start and stop doing the things that I know are bringing me down. I've been on a self-improvement kick for a while now, but I feel like I've been doing it all half-heartedly. I'm ready to re-commit myself to my goals and start this season with a renewed sense of self-commitment. Here are some of the personal goals I will be working on this October:
- Successfully complete the Coursera course "Organizational Analysis"- I have yet to successfully complete a Coursera course and this one is 10 weeks long (on week 1/10 now, gulp)
- Do yoga every day- even if it's for 10 minutes! This app has re-sparked my love of yoga.
- Make healthier choices- You know, like maybe not choose the most deep-fried thing on the menu??? That's all I'm really asking of myself.
- Drink 2 cups of green tea a day- Massive health benefits!
- Cook 3 crock pot meals- Um dinner cooking all day so it's deliciously tender when I get home, why do I need to remind myself to do this?
- Read 2 books- I always read one chick-lit/ trashy book and one socially acceptable book. This month I will be reading Bossy Pants and The Undomestic Goddess.
- Stop buying (so many) unnecessary things- Aside from stressing out my finance-savvy boyfriend, I really do need to get a better grasp on my spending or it's going to become a problem.
- Start loving my body more- Right now I'm a handful of pounds heavier than I'd like to be (not so much focused on a number, more so on how my body actually looks) and getting in better shape is really important to me, but I also need to stop with so much of the scrutiny and self-hate that has been bouncing around in my head lately.
Does anyone have the same goals as me? What are your goals?
