Reach for the Goal!

The month of September provided a ton of clarity for me.

Once I realized what I was going after, I decided to make some mini goals for myself that would be achieved sooner rather than later.

They were;

Computer off and put away by 10pm.

Read for an hour every night.

Charge phone downstairs instead of next to my bed.

Go for a run before work a few times a week (aka more than one).

So here's how I've checked out on them;

Computer off and put away by 10pm: pass. On nights where I know I have to be up super early, I am in bed without my computer by 10pm. This gives me time to unwind before I hit the hay.

Read for an hour every night: fail. I am so tired at night, I just don't have the energy. I do know that I sleep SO much better when I take the time to read, so I really need to get back on that track this month.

Charge phone downstairs instead of next to my bed: fail. I am completely guilty of getting overly excited about e-mails and text messages lately, and get super anxious if my phone is downstairs. Maybe I just need to turn my phone off and use a real alarm clock instead of having the temptation of it being right there.

Go for a run before work a few times a week: pass. I joined a gym a few weeks ago and have been loving working out! Maybe I'm not running 4x a week, but I am cross training and taking classes which in the long run (ha, no pun intended) is going to be way more beneficial than just hitting the pavement for a few miles before work.

50% success rate isn't too bad, right?

Goals for October:

Try new classes at the gym.

Workout every day that I work.

Read 3 books.

Go out a few times (really, just more than once).

Try 3 new dinner recipes.

What do you want to accomplish this month?
