Goodbye October, hello November.
I'm so happy with my mantras from October. I'm happy that I never felt stressed to accomplish any random goals, yet I feel like I accomplished so much. I'm happy that I do find myself feeling a little less tense, a little more free, and a lot more present. Now onto the next one.
Cozy, comfy November.
Filled with family, friends, food, and desperately trying to not gain twenty pounds.
Last November was a tough one. L's grandma passed away and we attended the services in New York together. He's a very sensitive person and even though we had only been dating for about two months, I really felt that I needed to be there for him. Shortly after that, we got into a car accident where both of our cars were totaled - thank goodness we were okay - but I spent almost a full day in the hospital with a fractured sternum and seriously bruised knee. Our relationship did not start off easy, which bonded us together very strongly.
But yes, last November was a tough one.
Continuing along last months' format, here are my 10 things for November. Not quite goals, not quite mantras, but something perfectly in-between.
1. Find some balance // Balance in everything. Sleep time vs. social life time. Healthy eating vs. happy indulging. Family time vs. friend time.
2. Strengthen friendships // I just want to reach out to people more, be it through a phone call or just an Instagram comment. Hi friend, I miss you, I'm sad we live miles apart, we should reconnect soon! Instead of sending them drunk snapchats telling them I miss at 6pm on a Friday.
3. Stay healthy, stay motivated, stay striving.
4. Be cozy, warm, and snuggly.
5. Be outgoing, adventurous, and spontaneous.
6. Contribute to family Thanksgiving dinner // I don't care if it's only buying the pre-made dinner rolls, I'm 23 years old and it's about time I stop looking like a low life and actually contribute to the holiday meals!
7. Continue to write in this blog for me // I've decided that this blog isn't about ads, comments, promoting, or traffic. I'm not that person. I'm the person writing about my life, mostly for me, but for anyone else who wants to dive in. But you'll never find me writing a post called "Top 10 Ways to Gain Guest Traffic this Holiday Season!" It'll be more like "My Aunt Got Drunk and Spilled Cranberry Sauce on Our Beagle". Just keeping it real here.
8. Speak my mind // Enough of the shy, timid girl that I morph into sometimes. I'm not even sure where she came from. But she's not invited to this party anymore.
9. Be mindful and live in the present moment, but still try and capture memories to look back on // Sometimes I'm so into living in the present that I don't take any pictures, and then I forget that those moments even existed.
10. Try try try to take a couple of Yoga classes // Good for my body, great for my mind.
Let's dive right into November, in all of it's golden colored, turkey flavored, gravy covered goodness.
