It’s gonna be May! Okay, I couldn’t help it I grew up with N’sync and have seen the meme about 30 times in the past few weeks. But that being said it’s May!!! That means we are almost at the half year mark, oh 2017 where have you gone?  You know I don’t like to waste time so let’s jump straight into this.

April 2017 Goals Recap

Objective: List Building 

Personal Goals

• Read one book

Read 2! I took a break from all of my inspirational and business books to enjoy some different types of books. I read A Cast-Off Coven Witchcraft Mystery and A Killer Among Us. The first was a fun little murder mystery which I discovered is a part of a series, so I plan to check more of them out. A Killer Among Us was very hard to read it was based on the murder of Elizabeth Decaro a 28-year-old mother of 4 gunned down in her kitchen. The main suspect? Her husband. You follow her sister finding her body to the entire court case. It was hard hearing the words her mother wrote in her journal about missing her daughter and wanting justice to be served. Very compelling story.  

• Do at least one activity a week for myself that isn’t work related.

I had a crazy busy but amazing and eye opening month. I got two facials. Thank you Origins! I met one of my online besties Brittney from BrittneyLLynn.com. I spend some time with someone very special. I’ve really just had a good month.

• Do my gratitude/goal journal at least 5 days a week if not 7.

Out of  30 days, I only missed 6 of my gratitude journal. For the most part, it seems I miss this one on Saturdays, which makes sense considering most of the Saturdays in April had me super busy from start to finish. 

Out of 30 days I wrote in my affirmation journal 27 times! This one was easier to maintain because even if I was in a hurry in the morning I was able to do my affirmations at night with my goal journal. By listening to more affirmations while I’m stressed I’ve managed to find some I really like.

• Keep meditating and visualization

Yes. I’ve been mixing them up and trying new ones. The newest one I’ve been doing when I’m feeling super anxious is called “Fuck It and Let That Shit Go.” You may not be a fan if you don’t like strong language but the intro explains the scientific proof of how curse words can actually help lower stress levels. It’s a slightly humorous way of reminding you not to take life too seriously and to live in the moment sometimes, which is hard as someone who is a big planner.

• Have a great sister trip (Details pending. We’ve come a long way from Vegas)

Our trip got canceled due to hotel accommodations. I really hope we can reschedule soon. I miss her face.

Blog and Freelance Goals

• Work Launch Your Signature Course!

I am still working on this. For a moment I almost lost sight but Saturday I arranged a meet up for some business owners in my area and it was amazing. Sad face, only one person showed up but on the bright side, I had an amazing conversation with the person who did show up and I realized that I was missing out on a huge opportunity by focusing only online and not in person opportunities. 

• Have 560 Facebook page likes

555

• Have 3350 Twitter Followers

3,492

• Have 1240 Instagram Followers

1,243…. by the hair on my chinny chin chin. I think my Instagram has the best slow organic growth. It’s not by huge leaps and bounds but it is a consistent growth. I’m not just getting random followers but making connections and friends.

• Have 1030 Pinterest Followers

1,062! 

• Post at least 4 times this month

This month I posted 4 times including a post for Small Business Bonfire.

No! Why am I like this???? Let’s try again in May. I did go to my complex gym a few times but I haven’t made it to any classes at my gym. 

• Lose 5 pounds more pounds

I have officially lost a little over 30 pounds since new years. I haven’t been working out like I should but I have been working hard to eat a healthy balanced diet with portion control.

April took some twists and turns. I got a lot of work done in April and am excited about some new things I plan to launch during the rest of this quarter.

May is the 5th month of the year meaning that you should really be making some strides in your yearly goals. Before you know it, it will be June then the end of June and then the 2nd half of the year. Every little action you make builds up to equal what your results are for the year. Little wins matter and so do the little things you reject.

So tell me what awesome things did you achomplish in April and what big wins are you trying to win in May?
