October Reflection + November Goals

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week. Happy first of the month! I have some goals outlined for myself this month to move towards getting ready for the new year. The fall is one of my favorite seasons because of the opportunity to start fresh and start new. Let this month be the month when the things you’re working on finally start to stick. After all, nothing changes unless you do!

There are a few main categories I like to write monthly goals for:

• health and wellness

• beauty

• finance

• career

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Last month, my goal was to start taking a ginger shot every morning upon waking up. I have been really successful at that, and I’m reaping the benefits of it and noticing an improvement in my digestion and my skin is starting to purge a little.

My goal this month is to begin going to the gym more consistently after a several-month-long break. I’m easing into it, so the bar will be pretty low. I am aiming to go 2 times a week outside of my pilates and dance classes, and I plan on just walking on the treadmill for an hour per session. Over time I’ll build it up more, but for now, I’m taking it slow.

BEAUTY

Last month, I majorly slacked on my skincare routine, so this month, my goal is to do my skincare every single night at the very least. This is non-negotiable, and of course one facial this month as per usual.

FINANCE

Last month, I managed to pay off more of my credit card balance, so this month, I plan on trying to eat out less and putting the money toward my credit card balance to pay it off even sooner. I’m also increasing the frequency of my deposits into my brokerage account from once a month to two times a month so I can invest more money each month.

CAREER

For my career goal this month, I want to post on this blog once every week, and I want to resurrect my Instagram and TikTok accounts by posting once a week on those as well! School tends to get in the way of how often I film, but not posting at all isn’t going to help me achieve my goals, so I’m going to work on consistency and quality of my content as opposed to just posting content to post it.

I hope this gives a bit of insight into how I plan for each month and work towards living a more disciplined and beautiful life!
