I’m sure everyone is saying it today but how did August get here so quickly? One minute I’m loving the summer months in June..July flies by and now it’s August! SLOW DOWN SUMMER! Thankfully our summer months are officially slowing down after my crazy maternity leave months. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing family but we were busy with company for almost 7 weeks straight. I like being back in our normal routines.
Now that it’s August, I have a few goals this month that I thought I’d share with you all. Similar to last July’s goals, I’m hoping to make this one just as fun!
1. Physical Therapy – This was a goal of mine last month as I just started working with my PT and was a little hesitant with it. So far, I’m into my 5th week and seeing some progress. I know it’s not something that will happen overnight of course but working on the exercise’s that she gives me has really helped to improve my core and strengthen it. Let’s hoping I can keep it up for my last 3 weeks before I’m finished!
2. More Family Time- Last month I seemed to be swamped in lots of freelance writing, blog posts, campaigns and more. I felt like I didn’t give my family the time and attention it deserved so I may be taking a bit of a small set back to those things and enjoying quality time. Maybe it’ll help me not be so stressed out all the time too 😉
3. Meet New Bloggers/Event- I had such a great time meeting new bloggers this past month both in real life and just through connecting online. You guys are just amazing and so supportive and I want to get coffee and chat about life with all of you! That being said, I’m hoping to host a fun little event here in GA for my blogging babes so stay tuned friends.
4. Clean Out – As much as I really love and adore all my PR samples/products that I’ve been receiving the last few weeks for various campaigns, I really started to hoard way to many things. Is there such a thing as a fall clean out? Well, I’ll be doing it and getting rid of lots of clothes, make up, jewelry and more! Anyone ever sell it on Poshmark and seen success? What about an online garage sale? If you’re interested I could even post a few things here! Let me know !
I can't believe it's August either! This summer just flew by. I love the idea of meeting other bloggers, especially when your immediate friends and family just don't "get" it haha. It's always nice to connect with like-minded people. I hope your event goes well!
This is so great! Goals help me stay focused and productive for sure!
These are great goals! One of my goals this month is to engage more with the people I follow on Social Media, commenting instead of just liking photos.
These are really great goals! I love to read about others actually setting goals instead of just winging it!
Nice I just published my 30 goals for turning 30 today. Find it super helpful to write them down and go get them!
I also can't believe how fast time flies. I can't believe it's already August. I was telling myself yesterday that I'm going to make this a good month. I really want to cook more and try out new dishes. Like you, I want more family time. And then there's work on the blog too. Hope you achieve your goals! ~ Arlene | frompenniestoplenty.com
I'd love to meet more bloggers too! And one of my major blogging goals is to go to a "blogging event"!
meeting new bloggers is always a goal b/c you can never know/network with too many 🙂
This year is on a fast track I need to keep up with everything. I would to meet any blogger.
I can't believe it is already August! My goals are to collab more with brands and to start decorating my living room!
Omg I felt I like I was reading something I had written, hehe! All of these are SO close to my own goals for this month. Def need to take out more time for the fam
It is so crazy that it is already August. One of my main goals for August is to grow my blog and my social media accounts. I hope that you have a great month!
I feel you on the PR samples. They're starting to pile up in my office!
Once I started earning more money from my blog I plan on attending events. I think networking is super important.
This one step – choosing a goal and sticking to it – changes everything. https://brandyou.ie/2016/11/04/how-to-achieve-your-goals-in-life-or-business-3-secret-weapons-2/
