WEEKLY WISHES 7

Happy November folks! I am pretty excited that it is a new week and a new month! I’m not gonna lie, October was hectic. In some good ways, and in some not so good ways. Last night I spoke to my brother on the phone about how crazy things have been and how I was having a hard time keeping up, and he was feeling a bit of that on his end, too. Before we hung up he reminded me that it’s a new week and a new chance to set up the lives and businesses we want.

So since I’m feeling totally inspired to make November an amazing month – a month that counts, a month I can feel good about, and a month that I will remember – I’m going to do a monthly goals here instead of the usual weekly wishes post.

THIS MONTH’S GOALS

1. Practice gratitude – I am going to be more mindful about taking time to write down what I am grateful for. There are so many benefits to developing a gratitude practice, like less stress, better sleep, more joy, and new ways of thinking. I’m a bit of a worrier/planner/high strung nut job, so I’m going to work on this to bring me back to the present each day.

2. Get excited about my business(es) again – last month was so jam packed full of work and stress that I lost sight of the why’s for my businesses. This month I will revisit why I started this business and get back into it in a big way! I have some catching up to do on missed posts from the 31 Days of Marketing, but I’ll be adding new content to the mix too.

3. Update my freelance business in a big way – I am making some major changes to the way I operate my own freelance business that will make for more streamlined processes and allow my business to grow. It is always scary making big changes, but I just have to bite the bullet and do it!

4. Leave the office once in a while – trying to manage multiple companies and projects left me feeling drained and anti-social. This month I want to get back into going to the gym, going out with friends, exploring my beautiful city, and meeting new people. You have to reap the rewards of your hard work every once in a while, right?

What are your goals this month?
