What’s the best way to hold yourself accountable?
Share your intentions for the whole world to see!
Hello November! October was my first 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.
Keeping this is mind, I am ready now more than ever to take on the month of November! I can’t believe that we are just two month’s away from 2018. Where did this year go!?! Great things have been accomplished in two months that have changed the world so I still have time to make a great impact on 2017 and you do too.
What are you going to be intentional about this month? 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!
October Intentions – A Look Back
- I intend to post to all of my social media outlets at least once a day during the month of October – Some days I fell short
- I intend to blog at least 3 times a week for the month of October – Some weeks I fell short
- I intend to learn one new skill during the month of October – I learned how to create a t-shirt design in Canva
- I intend to launch my next business venture by the close of October – One step away!
- I intend to take a least one picture a day to practice my photography skills during the month of October – Fell short some days
- I intend to visit one farm with the family on a weekend in October – Did not go but did other fun stuff instead
- I intend to finish the book that has been collecting dust on my nightstand before the close of October – Not done!
- I intend to visit the library at least once during the month of October – Did not make it
- I intend to get some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes daily during the month of October – Fell short some days
- I intend to get back active with my Fitbit during the month of October – Fell short
- I intend to invest more time to make more money with Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, and Ibotta. (The extra money will come in handy for the Holidays!!) – I was so on it!
As you can see, I was productive but not in the areas I needed to be. These months are flying by fast! I got a good look at where I went totally wrong and now I know how to slay November.
