Happy Monday and Happy June 1st! A brand new month that starts on a Monday gets me excited every time, especially since I am kicking off this month with a reset, where I will be shifting my focus from channel content to ME as well as realigning a few of my habits and routines while also trying out a few new ideas. Since January, my primary focus has been on creating content and hosting online events on my YouTube channel as well as participating in or cohosting online events run by my booktube friends. Do not misunderstand. I will still be participating in online bookish activities this month, but my participation will be on a much more relaxed scale.
The first of June always feels like the beginning of summer to me, mainly because of being a teacher for many years. June was always my month to relax and recharge, and I do not think that mindset has changed at all since my time in the classroom. I have been doing really well with keeping up with my Goals, Habits, and Routines notebook since I started it in August. Last summer, I reread Atomic Habits by James Clear and challenged myself in July to get back on track. It has actually been kind of fun keeping track of my habits and routines. I look forward to making my monthly chart, and it has held me accountable with exercising consistently and making an effort to drink enough water daily. I am by no means perfect; more like a continuous work in progress which means I want to keep challenging myself, so I can be a healthier and happier version of myself.
Goals for June
- Time-Track the entire month. Eliminate scrolling mindlessly on social media.
- Keep a food journal for the entire month. Primary focus is to cut out added sugar and sugary processed foods.
- Try to cook at least 2 recipes that are high protein/low carb or no carb.
- Add running intervals to walking routine at least 3 days per week.
- Complete gut protocal (Spa728).
- Complete BODI For Beginners Only Block 5.
- Get a massage.
- Declutter/Organize Scrapbook Room to prep for annual scrapbooking event this month with friends.
- Work on establishing a consistent Wake-Up time.
- Find a primary care physician that aligns with my healthcare goals. Started this process in May.
At the time I am writing this post, what have I accomplished so far? I started time tracking this week, started my food journal, ran 4.5 minutes of 49:07 this morning, and started my gut protocal.
What do I want to accomplish by the end of today? I want to complete my BODI Block workout, create my June tracking chart, and start working in my scrapbook room.
As the week goes on, I will write more about these goals and how I am working on them. I figure it will help me stay more accountable, and it will provide me with another way of documenting my progress. I am also in the process of making my summer plans which I will share with you soon. Dear reader, do you have any specific goals that you will be working on in June? Happiness!
