September ?! Already ?! New month. New Goals.

Happy September! Can you believe we are already in the last quarter of the year? So, how are things looking? September is a month of change. Leaves will be changing soon. Summer clothes will be pushed to the back of the closest. Pumpkin scented and flavored everything is completely taking over. Children are back in school and for some moms that is amazing because summer seemed way too long. But for us first time school moms, we are confused and a bit nervous and already reading lots of school emails.

The third quarters of games are often the most exciting. Some of the greatest athletes have turned games completely around in their favor, during the third quarter. There are some things we haven’t yet crossed off of our to-do lists and things from our vision board we haven’t yet touched. Girl, it’s ok. There is still time. In September, how are you planning to change and grow? There is no better time to set goals then at the start of a new month. Today, I was encouraged to choose 3 goals for the month of the September, and I’ll be honest, it was a bit difficult to narrow them down. Here’s what I came up with:

1) Get Back on Track (fitness)

I honestly have no idea how I have only gained 4 pounds back from my 30 pound weight loss, because your girl has been acting up. Exercise has become a thing of the past and my weekly Chick-Fil-A strictly salad lunches have been accompanied with a side of fries and a Lemonade (with no ice) from time to time. But tomorrow, I am back on it with daily workouts of some kind and back to paying close attention to what I put into my body. Since getting off track, I can honestly say I have felt sluggish and my skin is back to its wicked ways. That won’t do.

2) Creative Consistency

Ok… so a few people have asked me “when’s the next post”? And I know there has been some obvious gaps in posting. But, life. It was happening yalI and I am excited to share it all. It is so important to me to become and remain consistent with posting in this space. In September, I plan to work towards having my experiences and posts reach a larger audience made of those who are able to relate. What I have loved most about this blogging journey is hearing the amazing feedback which reminds me just how important sharing and community is.

3) Intentional Quality Time

In September, I am determined to make time for those closes to me. It is so easy to get loss in the monotony of our daily schedules. We often forget to set aside special time with our children, friends and family or maybe we just can’t find the time. My new white board will be filled with required appointments as well as quality time. This month, I want to choose calling over texting (just a little more), family dinners and visits to the park with baby boy. Those are the things that are most important.

This month I become a baseball mom and the mom of a Pre K Student and I’m so excited to see exactly what that will look like. Are you ready to set your goals for the month? Let me know below in the comment section what some of your goals are and let’s hold each other accountable. But if you see me eating a fry or three, don’t judge me, there’s still a whole quarter left in the year. 🙂  We got this!
