July 2019 Goals

We made it to July! I’ve mentioned several times that I totally overbooked my June, so to be totally honest, I’m embracing July and what I hope will be a (mostly) return to my normal routine. I have a trip back home planned for a weekend, but other than that, it will hopefully be life as normal…at least as close as I get to that. 😉 

When setting my goals for this new month, I’m really trying to tap into more of what I WANT, more of the things that bring me joy, and more things that keep moving forward to the life that I ultimately want for myself. I set a few goals that have been reoccurring but I hope to continue with or that they’ll finally be something that gets a little more attention. Before I get ahead of myself though, let’s take a look at my goals from June.

Run Ragnar race – Check! This was seriously SO MUCH FUN! I want to do a road Ragnar now, anyone want to join me? I’m also finding myself wanting to go camping and spend more time in nature. Before this weekend, I hadn’t been camping since I was a kid but it reminded me that while sleeping on the ground may not be comfortable, it’s nice to be outside and connect with yourself in that space.
See my Family – Check! I made it back home for a very quick day trip to see Hamilton in Chicago with my parents and sister. The show was so good. My parents also came up yesterday for a quick trip/detour on their way to visit my sister.
Attend yoga 1x/week – I can’t believe it, but I did it! I’m so proud of myself and it was so nice to get back on my mat. I have been reminded that my yoga home in Grand Rapids is still a bit TBD, but it was nice to return to my mat a bit as a student. (Also, I need to prioritize taking classes where I teach because it will submerse me in the community even more but also it’s free. ha!)
Writing date 1x/week – This didn’t happen. I’ve been blogging more which COULD count, but it’s not really the kind of thing I’m talking about here, so this is debatable, I guess.
Read 4 books – I only read one, but to be honest, I have 3 other books going. Hopefully, I can finish a few of those this coming month.

Now, let’s breakdown what I’m working towards in July. This month I’m setting a few more goals than normal…

–Get a pedicure – hoping this will be my special self-care
–Read 4 books – time to get back on track
–Weekly writing date – Not just blogging…
–Gain clarity on some future plans – vague, but worth noting
–Yoga 1x/week (at least) – I bought a 10 pack to a studio I used to practice at so between that and the studios I teach, I hope to make this happen
–Invest in my yoga business – I’m already committed to doing this but listing it out here is just another form of accountability
–Prioritize healing – in so many ways, but also, I know it’s vague

What goals are you working towards in July? How can I help hold you accountable?
