Hello, February. I’m welcoming you with arms open wide, but how did January leave so soon? This year is already flying by. Here’s to setting goals and trying to accomplish them all!
Since it’s a new month, that means I have some new goals to work on and accomplish. But first, let’s quickly review my goals from January and see where I’m at.
JANUARY GOALS REVISITED:
BLOG GOALS:
Secret Project // I announced my secret project about a month ago, which is going to be an e-course on How to Create a Killer Sponsorship Program. Unfortunately, I will not be launching on time. Life happens sometimes – family has to come first and the same with self-care. I’ll be chatting more about this soon.
Organization // I think I am doing a great job at staying organized, even though I haven’t found a planner that I love (and is affordable) yet. I have all of my post topics planned out for the month, so that’s a huge bit of stress taken off of me!
Grow Social Media // This is an on-going goal, which I’m sure is obvious. I am growing at a pretty steady pace.
Offer Social Media Management // I am offering social media management as a service, but haven’t started it up. Again, life happens. I am looking forward to developing this soon.
PERSONAL:
Cook Once A Week // This did not happen. Well, I did cook here and there for me, but not meals for both Michael and I like I had originally wanted to.
Practice Photography // I am so proud of myself as I have really started to dive into my love for photography. I would love to expand to taking portraits by the springtime.
Date Night Jar // We have sadly not made one yet, but we’ve had regular dates!
This month, I am really trying to be easy on myself. Life has been overwhelming, so I’m going to show myself grace, instead of more pressure and stress.
BLOG GOALS:
Write Ahead // Now that I have my post topics planned for the entire month, I am hoping to get them all written ahead of time, and not the night before.
Develop My Newsletters // I have only sent out two email newsletters within the past month, which I feel is an appropriate amount. I want to get better at planning them out and making a community out of them. I want my email subscribers to know and feel how much I appreciate them, and I want to be able to encourage them, as well. Sign-up here to become a CWS Insider!
Figure Out Pinterest // Pinterest is in the top five of my traffic referrals, but the traffic I’m getting from there is nothing like some of my blog friend’s referrals. I have clean pinnable images, am active throughout the day, and have multiple boards…I’m just not growing as fast as I want to and I want to figure out why and how to fix it.
PERSONAL GOALS
Make Self-Care A Priority // Last week I wrote about the importance of self-care. Self-care is something I am very passionate about and want to share with you all more about. I am some ideas that I want to work on with myself, so in the future I can share them.
Work Out // I have put on some pounds over the last month and I just don’t feel comfortable with myself anymore. I need to eat right, but I also need to work out. As I was a dancer my entire life, my body needs the physical activity to stay in shape. I just need to find the motivation.
Listen To Good Music // I listen to music on the daily, but I haven’t had set aside times where I just got to indulge in my favorite tunes. This ties into the self-care thing for me a bit. I love music – from indie, to alternative, to metal. Music that gets into your bones is my favorite.
What are your goals for February? Are you trying to take it easy this month, like me? Are you focusing in on just one huge goal? I’d love to hear what’s going on for your goals!
Best,
