Wow we really got through the 1st quarter of 2021. The past couple months have been pretty interesting but no complaints here. I decided to do these quarterly goal posts instead of monthly to give myself time to complete and get through the tasks. I felt better about working through each goal instead of trying to rush and half ass completing something. I feel like I did so good within the first quarter. Let’s recap!
Create Budget/Savings Plan : This was one of the first things I did. I want to really work hard towards my goal of being more financially stable and I knew this was the start of it. There have been a few challenges with sticking to the budget(cough cough weekly trips to Target) but I’ve been doing pretty well and also saving too. I know this is something I’ll have to constantly keep working on but I’m glad for taking these first steps.
Create Mantra/Affirmation Board: This was so easy and fun to do. I used some of the leftover supplies from when I created my vision board and I have it in a place where I see it everyday and recite them. I don’t recite them everyday but I make sure I don’t go too long without doing so.
Research Friendship Character Traits: This was something that I put off for a while and honestly didn’t want to deal with. I knew I had to deal with this at some point and I did. It was interesting all the information I found online about friendships and character traits. I figured out what I wanted in a friend/friendship and want I didn’t want. This is something I’ll still be working on but off to a good start.
Switch Banks: I haven’t switched yet as I am still doing my research but hopefully will doing so very soon!
In The Groove Of Practicing Self Care/Love: Now this is something that I have been putting off for a while. I set out to do something for myself everyday and it turned into whenever I have the time or make time for it. It has been hard with my son at home doing school remotely and not having the time for myself. I just put everything else first and forgot about me which I can’t keep doing. I plan on working more on this next quarter.
Organized House: This was fun to do with multiple trips to Target and the Home Goods/Sense stores lol. I do have majority of the house organized except for the garage. It was just too cold to be working in there but I plan on it soon since the warmer weather is just about here.
Friendship List On Myself: This was another thing I was putting off doing and I seriously needed to. It was hard to realize how my flaws really outweigh my good friendship traits. I was pretty shocked but I know this is something I really need to work on and deal with. I do have plans for next quarter for working on this.
Finish 1-2 Books: I was so excited when I complete this one! I read The Subtle Art of Giving a F*ck and Girl Gurl Grrrl which I have reviews on currently. I did start reading Everything Is F*cked but it became a little too overwhelming and will come back to soon. I am looking forward to reading more books next quarter. Hopefully I can get through more than two.
I already have my next set of goals ready to go and I’m excited. I know this year I’ll be successful with accomplishing my goals and making changes. See you guys Friday!
[…] Wow can you believe we are already in the 2nd quarter of the year? The first quarter just went by pretty fast but I’m happy about the progress I’ve made so far. I’m excited to jump into these next set of goals and keep progressing in the right direction. If you missed the original post, I’m switching up my goals and updates from monthly to quarterly.
