November Goals

Happy November everyone! It’s the first week of a new month and that means time for a fresh start and new beginnings!

I always have mixed feeling about the start of a new month because I’m excited about having four whole new weeks of possibilities and watching the seasons change but I tend to get that nagging feeling of “no, how did this happen?” and “where did the time go!” As it’s my senior year of college I’ve been quite consumed by the latter and trying to slow down time as much as possible. So this month I decided to make some “November Goals” to get excited about the new month a head! 

Here are my November Goals and hopefully they’ll inspire your own:

Take more pictures! 

I love looking back at old pictures that remind you of certain memories. This month one of my goals is to take more pictures and document even random silly moment so that I can look back at them later.

Try something new

This relates to the Eleanor Roosevelt quote, “do one thing everyday that scares.” As much as I love this quote I hardly follow it. Lately I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone and do new things. This could be as simple as cooking something new or raising your hand in class to trying out a new club or taking up a hobby.

Take more “me” time

  With the overload of school work all my daily “me time” practices have just about gone out the window. These include daily meditation and stretches, reading for fun, taking study breaks, and just doing something purely for the fun of it! This month my goals is to get back to that balance between relaxation and school work.

Social media detox

Working on my computer and using the Internet is inevitable for school, but I have noticed that I have been spending more time on different social media platforms that usual. Therefore I’m setting a goal to go until at least lunch time before I check any social media…I’ll have to get back to you on how that one works out

Get in the Thanksgiving sprit!

This one is actually really important to me as silly as it sounds! So many people go straight from Halloween to Christmas/Hanukkah/ and the “winter” holidays that Thanksgiving seems to get skipped over. Like, seriously! There are people who have already been listening to Christmas music for a few weeks now! As much as I love holiday spirit I do think that’s a bit early and that Thanksgiving deserves more than being skipped over. Plus there’s so much to look forward to, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Let me know what your November goals are!
