7 Goals to Set During the Pandemic
I want to share some realizations I've had throughout these last 4.5 months of quarantine life:
I am a workaholic. I thrive off being busy and having projects, and when I have down time I often don't know what to do or how to handle it. I feel like I don't always have purpose without some kind of a plan...but as we all know, how quickly plans can change!
In the past few months, I have been able to find balance between taking care of myself (something I had been neglecting for years) and getting serious about my craft and taking this newfound time off and making good use of it - all while giving myself grace, no deadlines, and no pressure.
Now, this might sound a bit selfish at first, but I challenge everyone to take the rest of this year and really think about yourself - what do YOU want? What are your goals? What is something you've wanted to do for years and never have the time or resources to execute? For me, that was creating this business. Maybe for you it's learning to take time to relax, learning to cook, traveling more, spending time with family, starting a blog, etc!
Something I have learned is that you can't pour into other people if you yourself are empty.
I challenge everyone to really listen to what your body, mind, and heart needs right now. For those of you who need a break, I am with you. I understand and hope you carve out some time for yourself! For those of you who are itching to do something creative and are getting really bored of sitting around the house, here are 7 simple goals to set to stay productive during quarantine:
Self-Care (Most important!)
Exercise (Just 30 mins a day keeps the blues away)
Cleaning/Re-organizing your work and home space (this makes a huge difference in productivity within your home)
Put on some of your favorite tunes (This can really help turn your day around)
Have an accountability partner and friend (Set goals together)
Set tangible goals for yourself, and start small ( Make a list with a goal a day on it. Got a big goal? Chomp away at it a little bit at a time, a few hours a week)
Write it down (Having a goal and plan that you can see as soon as you wake up is key. Get a planner, write on a post it, make a list on your phone, set alerts - whatever works for you!)

Did you know that a daily dose of Vitamin D can help fight depression, body aches and pains, fatigue, hair loss, infection, and help with overall immunity?!
Get outside and enjoy some sunshine - even just 30 minutes a day is extremely beneficial for your bod!
I want to challenge you this week to:
Do a daily check in with yourself - how am I feeling today?
Feed your mind and heart with positive, loving, and uplifting thoughts.
Exercise and get moving daily!
Start each day with a glass of water first thing in the morning.
Pay attention to how you're breathing throughout the day. Slow down and take deep, meaningful breaths.
Take care!
