How are we travelling? Are we continuing to chase our dreams? Make sure to Pause and check in with your intentions for the next 6 months.


To-Do

My June To-Do List was:

  1. Read 2 books: You know I like my little books. So I read “The little book of Sloth Philosophy” by Jennifer McCartney and “Hygge” by Marie Tourell Soderberg.
  2. Finish My Blogging Course: OMG I did, I went through it all. I have to revisit a lot of chapters, but I went through it all. It feels so good.
  3. Submit my Blog for Audit: Yes, I did! You might have noticed, I have updated my homepage as this was 1 of the suggestions from the audit!
  4. Change Closet to Winter: Yep, All changed! Jumpers, jackets for the win.

  2. Create a winter bucket list
  3. Indulge in Hygge moments
  4. Create America slides to revisit the holiday for Date Night.

Habits

My Habit for June was: Continue to Meal Prep On Sunday and Wednesday

Let’s say, kind of. I did get a little tired of cooking and lost all my motivation to be in the kitchen. So it didn’t happen as much as I would’ve liked, but that’s OK! I have to accept that some months are imperfect. Let’s call June Imperfect and strive for a better July! I’m working on my meal plans and reading lots of cookbooks to feel inspired again. Cooking has never been my thing so this is an area I give myself some credit for! But hey, I’m working on it.

My Habit for July is: Get consistent again with waking at 6 AM. The past couple of weeks, winter got the best of me. I have not been getting up early so as you can imagine, no workouts were done at all. So my goal is to get up at 6 AM again and get moving! My strategy? Plan the workout the night before, prep my space and get my clothes ready! I got this.


Gratitude Attitude

I’m super grateful that I had the opportunity to take 2 weeks off. I truly needed to recharge and indulge in self-care. In my first week, I still had too many things on my To-Do list and kept running around. Didn’t even start my new workout routine. Then, Lockdown happened, so I had to stay at home, this forced me to look at my routine and kickstart it properly. I set myself up to succeed in July by already getting up at 6 AM, getting used to my morning routine so when going back to work, it wouldn’t affect me! I spend a lot of time reading, planning my weeks ahead and reflecting on my past 6 months. GRATEFUL for the time I invested in myself!


Monthly Mantra

Consistency

Short but powerful. I’m well aware that this will always be a struggle for me. Eating healthy, Fitness, drinking water, posting on my blog and social media presence are all things that need consistency to succeed. Constant effort to win. Yet, I will be good for a couple of months before it will disappear. All hard work gone. So, once again my goal is to remain consistent across the board. Strategy? PLANNING AND REMINDING. I will plan my weeks ahead and while I plan, I will add reminders to my calendar and phone. Let’s give this is a chai aye!

Throughout this Monthly Catch Up, you might have noticed how I kept talking about planning! Yes, I am obsessed with planning. As June was a bit of a struggle, let’s not beat around the bush. I knew I had to get it together for July! So I created a weekly and daily planner to keep myself on track. These planners will be part of my morning and evening routine! Stay tuned as I will be posting about the importance of routines soon! My planners will be available in the FREE resource library soon.
