JULY 2021 GOALS

July is going to be a huge month for me! It’s the month that I am moving and we all know that a move is never smooth. Although I know it’s a stressful time, I’m trying to reframe the situation and be excited about this new chapter of my life. It’s interesting to reflect on my June goals because I do feel like in a way that month was a wrap up of my “old” life and as I am thinking about my July goals, I am also associating that with my “new” life.

My main priority for last month was to figure out my living situation and obviously, I have successfully done that. I am still going to be in the same borough and I’m actually not moving too far from my old place, but I am going to be living alone, which is an exciting but scary change. I will be taking you along my journey, so feel free to follow me on Instagram for more live updates. I wanted to make progress in my side project and that actually fell through. I’m not bitter about it because I do understand that things happen and I always believe that things happen for a reason. Just because it didn’t go out as planned and hoped, it doesn’t mean that the opportunity won’t come to light in the future (I know it was more of a timing conflict).

My last goal from June was to do some NYC summer activities and I actually can’t say I’ve checked that off. My search for apartments was actually much more difficult than I thought. It took me a while to find my apartment, so my number one priority was to find my apartment which took a lot of my other “free” time away. The best part about writing goals down is that even if I didn’t meet them, I can carry it to the next month.

As we are enjoying the last few days of June, here are my three main goals for July:

• Get settled into my apartment: When I first moved back in 2019, I underestimated how long it takes to get situated in a new place. I am not going to rush this process, so I am going to take my time decorating my apartment and settling in. I plan on using all of July to make my studio apartment feel as cozy as possible. Since I will be living alone, I have the creative freedom to design the place as I’d like and I truly want to enjoy this new chapter.
• Be more active on social media: I’m the type of person that unplugs when I am stressed and turn inwards and prioritize solitude. I have been very silent on social media especially the last few weeks to focus on myself and to focus on my move. Now that I’ve acknowledged that, I am ready to now get back on social media and take my followers on this new journey.
• Hone in fitness goals: I work out daily and I value wellness and health. However, I want to take a one step further and hone in on my fitness goals. I know exactly what I want to achieve and now that I’m going to be in a new apartment, I want to also connect my home aspect with my lifestyle aspect.

We are now entering the second half of the year so I urge you all to do a deep, honest self reflection and try to come up with your own personal goals that you want to achieve for July. Wishing you all a beautiful month ahead!
