What’s the best way to hold yourself accountable?
Share your intentions for the whole world to see!
Hello December! November was my second month sharing with you my monthly intentions. As October was coming to a close, I realized that I was behind on quite a few of my goals. At first, I became discouraged but then I realized that accomplishing goals is a marathon and not a sprint! I realized that I am not perfect and that it’s okay to fall short sometimes. I realized that it’s best to make some progress rather than no progress and that’s what I did.
With this same mindset, as November came to a close, I feel proud of everything that I have accomplished this far. Although I didn’t complete all of my intentions, I made much more progress than I did in October. As a result, I’m hoping to close out 2017 in a good space!
Keeping this is mind, I am ready now more than ever to take on the month of December! I can’t believe that we are just one month away from 2018. Where did this year go!?! Great things have been accomplished in one month that have changed the world so I still have time to make a great impact on 2017 and you do too.
However, this will be my last month sharing my monthly intentions for a while. I want to put my focus on the fresh start that 2018 will bring and just accomplish great things!
What are you going to be intentional about this month? How are you preparing for 2018? We all have have goals. I challenge you to stop making excuses, to stop planning, to stop researching, to stop misusing your time and to just do it! Do that thing you have been wanting to do forever. Create that thing you have been wanting to create. Start that business or side hustle you have been wanting to start. Go to that place you have been wanting to go to. Let’s slay the rest of 2017 with our Intentions!

As you can see, I was much more productive during the month of November. These months are flying by fast! I’m going to apply the same drive and go slay December.

I’m keeping my intentions short and sweet this month! December will be a busy month for me, my weekends are already accounted for. As a result, I don’t want my list to be too long or it will compromise me completing anything at all. I can’t wait to re-visit this next month as I share how I did with my December Intentions. As mentioned earlier, this will be my last monthly intention share for a while. Going into 2018, I plan to focus and just take advantage of the fresh start. Happy Intention Setting!!
