April 2021 goals

      Happy first week of April. Today, I'm going to share three of the goals that I've made for myself for the month of April. Last month, not going to lie: total forgot about my March goals. I was too busy focusing on trying to finish all the books from January & February (which I'll be sharing next week). I just got busy with life. Here are my goal for April 2021:

Make self-care time

One of the things that I'm trying to work on is making more time for myself. I've realized that I never get things done for myself due to me trying to help others first. I know this is going to sound selfish, but I'm going to start putting myself & goals first. I'm going to start mediating more, get back into handlettering, catch up on reading & finally do some deep spring cleaning of old clothes (i.e. things that I weirdly enjoy). 

Be Consistent

Still failing at this. I'm going to try to make a routine for myself again. When I was working, I had a set routine for EVERYTHING!!! After I became unemployed & the pandemic hit, my routines went a the door. I'm trying to get back to being organized & not being a whole train-wreck again. The things I'm going to try to focus on this month are setting a wake-up & bedtime along with a time I go workout everyday.

Move More

I've been working out 4 to 5 times a week, but once I get home I sit in one spot for the most part. I'm going to try to move around more during the day. So, my goal is to get at least 12,000 steps daily. Which leads me to adding more cardio into my life again. I've always been super heavy on weight-training since forever. Moving more is going to help me get my much needed cardio in plus it'll be an excuse to go outside to get air. 

So for my March Goals. Be consistent is a carry-over from the last two months, I think. At this point, until I get my life back into a rhythm, I'm going to continue having it as a goal to hold my self accountable. I did up my physical activity. I went from working out 3 to 4 times a week to almost everyday. I'm trying to get in a one to days of just cardio. That hasn't happened yet but I'm doing better. Lastly, for the most part, I've been more positive. When people start being negative, I tell them nicely that I don't want any negativity in my space. Taking that approach has be the one that has worked best for me at the moment.

Other than that, there are some other goals that I'm working towards (one or two maybe on my May 2021 list).  Have a great Monday. Peace & Blessings, all!!
