I’m back from holiday and it’s time to think about goals. I’ve set eight, five are repeats from last month. I’ve talked about how I struggle with autumn and the transition to winter and then winter itself. So I wanted this month’s goals to be easy to do, not to easy but something I could accomplish with a small bit of effort and some things that would help ease my usual seasonal gloom.
I’ve also found that knowing I’m going to update the blog on Saturdays really keeps me accountable so I’m going to continue to do that.
The repeats from last month are:
1) Cook a new recipe each week (I’m not making it specifically vegetarian but I will try for three out of four)
2) Exercise twice a week.
3) Clean floors and hoover once a week (I’m hoping that eventually this will be like the vegetarian days and I don’t even have to think about it!)
4) 10pm school night bed time.
5) Walk 10k four times in October.
The new ones are:
6) Tidy the cupboard. I have a store/junk cupboard off the bathroom that really needs some organising… as you can see!
7) Cheerfulness. I’m going to find something that makes me happy every day and will list them as part of the Saturday goal progress report.
8) Forward planning. It’s Christmas in three months and before that Ben, Oli, Christelle and Ma have birthdays. By the end of this month I would like to have their birthday presents sorted out!
