Annual Goals Check In

You can find all of my 2020 goals here!

  • Step Out of My Comfort Zone – Starting my YouTube channel was a huge move for me! It honestly feels exactly how I felt when I started my blog. I put it off for so long out of fear of what people would think and felt like I didn’t know enough and that the quality wouldn’t be up to par with what I imagined for myself. More important, I felt like I wasn’t good enough. I was afraid that people wouldn’t like me if they saw my personality rather than just some pretty pictures and sadly, a big factor in this has been my dietary issues and the fact that I simply can’t figure out what’s going on with my body. Sometimes I feel like I have it under control and other times, I feel so frustrated and ashamed of how I look. Regardless, I decided I was going to go for it. I realized that there’s never going to be a right time and things are not going to be perfect. I just started so of course, I have to learn and practice…just like I did with blogging. And I’ve come to terms with the changes I’m experiencing with my body and appreciate that I’m healthy for the most part. It’s just one of those things that will take patience and experimentation on my part but it shouldn’t keep me from doing things. And I’ve realized that I shouldn’t let the fear of what others think dictate how I feel about myself and what I choose to do. Not everyone will be supportive but the right people will. <3
  • Be More Present – Although, I’ve been working like crazy during my “quarantine,” I’ve also been making it an effort to be more present. I’ve set a schedule for myself, which has helped a ton. I’ve been taking more time for myself with more self-care practices and immersing myself in activities like gardening, music and art. I’ve also been spending more time with my husband doing things like watching new series, coloring, cooking together, walking and sitting on the balcony watching the birds. It’s been really nice to slow down for once and I plan on keeping up with these practices once this is all over.

 

What I’m Looking Forward to in June

  • My birthday!!! (even though we had to cancel my birthday trip)
  • More self-care <3

 

Hope you loved my May 2020 month in review!
