September Goals

5/9/2017

2 Comments

 
I love the September new year!  I am much happier setting goals and planning in September than I am in January.  Probably due to having children and following the academic year, I am not sure how that will change when they have finished their education but for now it works very well for me.

It's been a bit of a tough summer for me.  Extended holiday due to study leave, the worry of GCSE's and results and the menopause settling in nicely and giving me quite a shock health wise.  I have been quite poorly and very stressed.

But I am determined to tackle this and take care of me!  I seemed to float along quite well up until my 50th birthday and into this spring but something has definitely changed in the last few months.

So I have some big stuff to sort out and smaller stuff too.  I thought I'd share a summary of my goals and plans as it might inspire you too:

  1. A big stress for me has been my husband running his business from a home office, I won't bore you with the details but it has evolved over ten years and he currently has his office in a log cabin in the garden.  But we have agreed the time is now right to move into a new office away from the home environment, and the exciting part is..
  2. I get to take over the Log Cabin to use for 'family space'  - I have a few plans including gym and workout space, more storage, a quiet area to retreat to, somewhere to sort out my wardrobe and do more selling on eBay.
  3. I need to get back to my fitness regime (read about log cabin above), I had to take some time off recently due to feeling so unwell, I hope that I can slowly build it up again.  Weight lifting is proven to be one of the BEST things for menopause.
  4. My nutrition is pretty good but I have lapsed a bit with my meal planning and prep so now that we are heading back into a routine with back to school, I need to sort this out again.
  5. I've signed up to do an online ​blog course with No Bull Blog School - very excited about this.  My blog is a slow burning project and hobby but I would love to learn more and develop my blog further.
  6. My wardrobe needs a good de-clutter (again) - also read about log cabin above!!!
  7. And another BIG one - I must spend less time scrolling mindlessly on social media. I carry on as if the 'answer' is to be found among all the irrelevant posts and advertising.  It is a huge time-waster!

So what do you think?  What are your goals this 'new year'?  I will expand on each area more in later posts and let you know how it is all going.

Love
Michelle xx

Hi Michelle
Welcome back! I hope is all well with you and your health is getting back to normal. I too feel like September is a time for new starts and take this time to get back on track before the crazy Christmas season is upon us. I think it does come from having so many new school years when children have their "fresh start" - why shouldn't we!!

Hi Jackie, I am feeling much better with the return to routine and the impending office move! You are so right, this is a lovely quiet time to get ourselves sorted out before it all gets busy again in the run up to Christmas, love Michelle xx
