February Goal Progress & Check-In
9:03:00 AMLast week of February, this month flew by in my opinion. I'm getting whiplash just trying to replay everything that happened. I will say, January was much more productive on the goal front than February was. I can't help but feel a little bit of a setback and I'm working on spending time this last week to not feel that way/realize how far I have still come.
I mentioned this in my January goal progress and check-in, I follow Rachel Hollis and her 'goal setting' strategy. I set 10 goals for myself this year. Everyday, I use her Start Today journal and I write down 5 things I'm grateful for and my 10 goals. I actually love that I have to acknowledge my goals every single day. It makes me acutely aware of the progress I've made or actions I've taken in achieving the goals I have set. I shared 5 of those goals with you and my progress made so let's take a peak to see where I'm at!
1. Build a sustainable business.
- Positives: a better footing has been gained, we have a handle on our branding and the why. Why we are doing what we are doing - that is 100% keeping us going and giving us more momentum to continue.
- Negatives: growth. Growing is hard: SEO, marketing, Instagram hacks, it's all a huge learning curve and we are working to figure out how we can join those that grew with great momentum. I do feel however, that we are on the brink of immense growth. Stay tuned...and follow along here!
- Ah! Ya'll the tickets for the half marathon I'm doing go on live/on sale tomorrow. I was giddy yesterday and also very nervous. I'm going down to Austin, by myself, to run a bomb race, by myself. It's daunting but yesterday I was thinking about how many miles I can do - I'm at about 5 miles and need to get to 13, that is 100% doable! I will post on my Instagram once I get the tickets, I want to hold myself accountable. Once the tickets are purchased there is no room to back out!
- There were a few days this month where I barely met or came under this goal but most days I averaged a gallon or more of water! Success.
- I have also learned the difference between when I'm hungry vs. when I'm thirsty. How? When you drink the amount of water your body needs your body will be able to tell you when it needs more/when it is thirsty. You will realize that what you were mistaking for hunger was actually you hungry for water!
- I talked about last month that I wanted to join a Professional Woman's Network here in STL. I still would love to do that but right now it's incredibly expensive. So I put that on the back burner for another month. This month, I went on a date😳. I will explain at some point why it was so out of my comfort zone, but just trust me when I say it was haha! To some, this may not sound like something new, but putting yourself out there is really intimidating and I'm so glad I did it.
- A few ideas I have for the upcoming months: start learning French, take adult hip/hop or tap classes in the fall, volunteer somewhere new, join a book club, take a cooking class, become a mentor, challenge myself to learn something new that is applicable to my business or blog, submit writing samples to become a freelance writer.
- Last week I failed at this, life got in the way however I'm back at it and trying to incorporate new routines and physical movements into my routine to keep moving.
