So August is here. Oh wow.
I don't know how this year seems to have slipped right by me so quick. I mean Christmas is 4 and half months away. That's not long. Just a little reminder to scare you there.
I'm still job hunting, and mostly that's soul destroying, but I'm trying to stay positive. I have goals, plans and fun planned for this coming month. If I found a job, well that'd be even better.
Here's what's going on:
♥ I'm inspired. Recently by Caroline. A post on this coming soon.
♥ I'm excited. I have a few plans to open an online shop. I'll need plenty of time to get supplies, make all my creations and get it all set up.. but I'm hoping to get it done before Christmas.
♥ I'm feeling determined. I've started eating better, and working out. Losing weight is my ultimate aim, but I'm feeling good about being healthier and stronger.
♥ I'm looking forward to getting the last of Summer over with. Hell we might not even have much left, it is England after all. Yeah I'm not a Summer girl. I like maybe a few days of sunshine, but then I want my rainy days back. I prefer the grey, wet boring weather. It's so comforting.
♥ I'm trying to be more organised. I'd love to have my posts ready weeks in advance or a nicely laid out monthly plan, as so many bloggers have. But I don't. I just write when I write. And sometimes I'm so excited to post something I'll do it ahead of when I mean to. But I'm trying to get a better schedule, and plan ahead. Right now I already have two posts lined up for next week, and that's amazing for me!
I've left out all my negative thoughts & worries. But I'll note here I do have them, just thought I'd mention that. But that wouldn't make for a very positive approach to the month now would it?
So I'm thinking positive and focusing on the good. My goals are small, but make me feel great.
Let's do this August.
I've been trying to be organised with my blogging too, so I don't feel stressed by it. I've been taking lots of photos at once when the light is nice at the weekend, so I can write during the week, and it's going well so far!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I'll try to do that myself to get the best light :) Good luck! xx
DeleteI tried my hardest to be organised by it just hasn't worked out... any tips?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a summer girl either! Give me rain, jumpers and hot chocolate any day!
Hope you have a lovely August!! :)

I find that lovely stationary like nice planners for the week or month make me 2 ant to use them and get organised haha! Probably dorky but I love filling up notebooks with ideas and ticking them off as I go! X
DeleteOooh tell me about this shop of yours!! I find that when I plan posts and spend a day working in advance I actually get posts out and its all very uniform instead of a spontanious post here or there, its always good to be consistent! spending today getting a lot of the months posts ready! this means when the time comes I can post a few extra ones If I decide what I want to do on those days! :)
