To mark all these new beginnings I have had a very productive day: I have ate healthy, drank plenty of water, met up with a good friend, attended a meeting, ran some much-needed errands and planned out a few upcoming blog posts. I feel like today has been a day of looking forward, a day of planning. I am left with the belief that this will be a good month.
Autumn and Winter are definitely my favourite seasons. I love the food, the colours, the fashion and (most of the time) the weather. Everything just feels so cosy.
I thought, for today's post, I would share some of my goals for the month of September...
- Be happy. I know it's not realistic to plan to be bursting with happiness every single moment of every single day. But I genuinely feel like too much of the time I let stress take over and let silly things get to me too much. It's not that I'm not happy just now, just that I want to focus more on doing things and being around people that make me happy.
- Live more in the moment. Similar to my previous goal but, again, I feel like I am letting my life go by and not seizing the moment enough. I feel I need to get up and do more. Be a bit spontaneous. Get out of my comfort zone; wear that bold lipstick, send that risky text, take that trip and seize the day.
- Get more exercise. I know this is on most people's goals and is one of those things that people say they need to do but always end up putting it off until tomorrow... I know that I don't get anywhere near enough exercise and I'm not saying that I 'm going to do anything crazy or join a gym. But I do feel like I should start doing small things a few times a week to take better care of my body and health. I'll start small by fixing up my bike and encouraging myself to walk to the shop instead of jumping in the car with my mum. I know it will be beneficial to my mood as well.
- Learn to drive. I have been taking driving lessons sporadically for a few months now but don't really seem to be getting anywhere. This month I want to start knuckling down and making some serious progress. Maybe even get my test booked?
- Get a weekend job or an internship.
- Cook more meals. Although I don't eat super unhealthy, I also rely very heavily on convenience food (popping things in the microwave, etc.). That's okay sometimes but I really want to learn to cook a bit better (especially from scratch) and use more fresh ingredients.
- Take better care of my skin (and nails). Lately my skin and I haven't exactly been on the best of terms. I've been breaking out like crazy and, despite it being very annoying, haven't exactly been taking much initiative to fix this problem. This month I want to try out some new products and remedies to help improve my skin.
- Be a bit bolder with my make up. When it comes to make up I usually play it pretty safe. Recently though I have started experimenting a bit with new looks and products which I would like to continue with, and expand on, throughout September.
- Get started on my A/W wardrobe! This isn't exactly a goal, more something I'm just really excited about doing! As I've mentioned before, I love Autumn and Winter fashion and have already spotted a few things which I will definitely be getting my hands on! Plus I just completely cleared out my wardrobe in the process of our move so... what better excuse to go shopping?
I'd love to hear if you have any goals for the month of September?
