At the end of each month, I reflect back on the previous month and update you on what’s happenin currently. I send this reflection out to my email list first but thought it’d also be a good blog post to keep up so here you have it : ) I hope you enjoy and take something away from this!
December Reflection
Accomplishments:
– I finished my last load of college classes before I graduate this May of 2018!
– I started my internship at Verizon as their Health & Wellness intern!
– I did a holiday collaboration with my good friend from HS!
– I did my first personal retreat day– where I blocked off a whole day (6 hours) for me to set goals and treat myself to lunch
– I opened up about my vegan journey on an episode on my youtube channel!
Health Update:
– On Janurary first I started the 28 day reset from Blogilates and have been loving it! (No gluten, dairy, processed foods, added sugars, alcohol). The whole sugar free things is really helping my energy level.
Not-So-Fabulous Moments:
– I wish I would’ve planned a weekend getaway with Myles. We need a staycation! Maybe sometimes this month?
– I spent way too much time working on my projects when I was back at home instead of hanging out with my fam or friends. Besides the holidays, I was really zoned in on my work, so more time to hang out and relax is what I should’ve done.
Lessons:
– Work when the energy is right. If I need a break, I need to honor that and listen to my body and mind.
Podcasts that I’m lovin:
– IGNTD Podcast
– Pursuit with Purpose
Book Recommendations:
– Super Women RX – all about finding your power type and holistic ways to heal yourself
– The Art of Racing in the Rain – a good novel about a dog and his perspective on life. So touching and full of humility.
Things I’m grateful for right now:
– Being back on a routine! Being back from my parent’s for 2 weeks made me appreciate the stillness and peace of my apartment lol but I still love em!
– Back to creating content! Filming, cooking, editing etc etc!
– The amazing feedback from a recent survey I did. I am so beyond thankful for the community of ladies and gents around me.
Things I’m working on:
– Myles and I are planning and saving up for a condo next year! AHH!
– I’m speaking at IMPACT, a local community organization in Mankato for small businesses, about blogging! It’s happening on the 16th of Janurary at 8:30-9:30 am. Let me know if you want details! If you’re in town, I’d love for you to come!
– A collaborative giveaway on Instagram with some local bloggers and business from Jan 10th-17th! Woo!
– Really fun videos and simple recipes this month!
Even though I still have some out-of-this-world ideas, goals, dreams and resolutions, I still know that what I do today is all that matters. That setting practical steps + measurable goals is the way to go. Go get em today.
Lotsa love,
Bella
