Weekly Wishes #2


It's Monday, again! Is it just me or is time going by so, so fast lately? I'm trying to embrace every second!

Last week was my first week doing the Weekly Wishes and I'm excited to say I met a lot of my goals:

1// Figure out this anxiety thing. I am feeling pretty great, although there were a few days of random grogginess. I know that the medicine won't truly be in my system for 6 weeks, but I also feel less anxiety because we have things planned out.

2// Clean our bedroom. Oh em gee we did it!

3// Put fresh flowers in our dining room and light candles. I love the candles!!

4// Go to yoga three times, and attempt the gym once. I didn't end up making enough in tips to pay for the yoga classes. Jess and I went to a free yoga class on Saturday though!

This week's goals are: 

1// Get a solid plan for teaching next year. I want to figure out what school I will be at, my hours, if I should decide to do year-round pay, what time I should leave for work and how to incorporate blogging. 

2// Seriously, yoga and gym! 

3// Take a day and just be. Today, I am supposed to be realaxing with my cousin and on Thursday we are seeing Eminem and Rihanna. I want to just BE in the moments of these things. 

4// Schedule all of my blog posts! This will keep my anxiety low! :)

I don't want to have too many goals, since I sort of have a busy week. I have a lot of pre-planned things and work, which stresses me out about my working from home stuff.  I need to be extra diligent this week!

What are your weekly goals?

    I suffer from anxiety, too. It took my doctor several attempts to get my dosage right. The perfect dosage will give you minimal side affects. I love fresh flowers, too. Our local farmer's market sells them for so cheap. I am always picking up a couple of bouquets.

    I love the idea of taking a day to just be. I think I need to jump on that bandwagon!

    Sounds like a great plan for yourself for the week ahead. Just take it one step at a time! It always feels good to check something off of the list :)

    What kind of medication are you taking for anxiety? That's so fun that you guys live close to each other and do yoga together. Good luck on your weekly wishes! :)

    Scheduling blog posts is such a good way to keep that off your shoulders. I always feel amazing when I've done so, because I don't have to create content mid-week.

    Scheduling blog posts really can eliminate so much stress. It helps to not have those posts hanging over your head.

    It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow goal setter. We started cleaning out our garage this weekend and brought in a lot of things we hadn't unpacked since we moved. My goal is to make sure that they all find a home, instead of holding residence on my stairs.

    Look at you go, I'm definitely jealous that you're able to stick to your goals so well. That's definitely something super admirable that I absolutely cannot do...Scheduling posts is a total lifesaver!

    Ugh cleaning!!! Lol, I have to figure it out, if I go to year round pay, my paychecks might be lower versus setting aside a set amount of my own for the weeks that I would be without pay. Yes! I need to force myself to the gym!!
