Three days into September and it's almost like a switch has been thrown from summer to autumn with the move between months. While I would have preferred a slower transition (and hopefully we will have a few warmer days before autumn really kicks in), the change in season has really added to my recent feelings of getting ready to move into a new season, a new pace of life.
With that said, I have really enjoyed taking the time to slow down and figure out what I want to spend the rest of this year focusing on. I knew that I wanted only a handful of areas to focus on and that those areas needed to only things that were the most important to me. As we head towards Thanksgiving and Christmas, I wanted to make sure that I have the margin in my time and heart to find joy and celebrate life.
Here are the areas that I am focusing on:
Wellness || Find balance and freedom in this area by making progress and moving towards where I want to be.
Career || Set boundaries for myself in relation to work so that I have the space to learn new skills while having a balance between the hours I am working and my home life. Learn to lead myself well and figure out how to lead when I am not in charge.
Soul || Plug into God and His kingdom in a way that is vulnerable and real. Read the Word, pray, settle into a church and build new, deep relationships.
Blog || Be intentional with the content that I am sharing on my blog, ensuring that it either teaches, encourages, inspires or uplifts those who read it.
2018 || Begin to think about and develop my plans for 2018. Consider new goals, a new One Little Word word, implementing new routines etc.
Project || Start working on my two new projects. Set aside time to develop them and make progress on them.
During September I will be focusing on the following specific goals:
Monthly
Create a blog schedule and content ideas
Tell a story using the AE Story Kit
Celebrate my birthday

Daily

Hope you have a productive and enjoyable month.
