It’s become much harder to work on this goal now that I’m out of school. However, until I get back, I’m going to focus on my summer reading as a way to get over my procrastination. Last year, I started right away, but then took a huge break until right before the end of summer, leading to too much stress. My goal now is to be continually working on my summer reading, ideally every night.

How I did it: I just decided I was going to make a conscious effort to start using reusable bags. I usually use my red-orange bag when I'm out at the mall. Now that I've bought mine, I make sure to keep it in my purse, that way, I'll always have mine with me. Perhaps someday, I'll have to buy a second, but one is fine for me now. I'm not perfect about remembering, but it's always on my radar now. Read how I did it…
Lately, I’ve been making big strides on this goal! I’ve been making a bit more money, so when I buy new clothes, I try to get skirts and dresses that I like and work for me. As the school year finished, I started to wear them a couple other times to school. Now that it’s summer, I wear them every week to church, and occasionally during the week.
What a difficult goal. I think it could be the hardest goal on my list! I’ve tried off and on to be better about exercise and I can’t ever get anything to stick. I hate a lot of exercise…compounding the issue. Not to mention I live in a frozen wasteland for 6 months out of the year. I’ve decided to start yoga. I’ll have to go in steps: I’ll make sure I do it twice a week for two weeks, thrice a week for two weeks until I reach everyday, or close to everyday. I’m also going to look for another set of exercise to go along with it once I’m good about the yoga.
Whoa…lots to work on here. Wish me luck!
