8 December Goals

1. First things first..take time off! Easier said than done, right? haha. Fortunately, our office will be closed for 8 days at the end of the month and I couldn’t be more excited. I think it’s so important to take time to unplug, be present and focus on the real reason of the Christmas season.
2. Do something special on my birthday. My birthday is the 12th and since it’s in December I feel like I’ve always gotten the short end of the stick..I know I’m not the only one here. This year I want to take the weekend to do something a little extra special and separate it from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
3. Bake! Ya’ll I want to bake so bad this year I can’t stand it. I LOVE to bake but never find the time to do it. I find it so relaxing! This year I’m dedicating my time to it..even stretching that goal a little bit to say that I’ll package it up and deliver the goodies to a few people.
4. Begin a challenge of some kind- maybe a countdown to Christmas outfits or something..? Not sure just yet!
5. Find a new coffee recipe..I love coffee but I get tired of it easily. Give me some good recs for the holiday season, please! I like coffee my hot!
6. Journal..and when I say journal, I would like to set a few minutes a day aside every single day to journal to where it becomes a habit.
7. Get all of my shopping done and gifts wrapped by next Friday! That me be a long shot but I’m doing my best to stick to it!!
8. Get ready for the new year: Write down my personal and professional goals of the year, get in a good routine for work/me/family time, start the new year with a good mindset, clean my closet out, focus a little more on my health, dial back my sugar intake and figure out ways to be more involved in my church’s leadership.

Alright guys, that wraps up a few of my main goals for December. I know we all have goals of our own that we want to accomplish, but at the end of the day, it’s gonna be a busy month! Even if we don’t get everything checked off, let’s remind ourselves of the blessings we HAVE vs the things we don’t. ..He Is the Reason.
