MARCH 2019 GOALS

Another month over means another new monthly goals blog post! I must say February was a great month. I usually feel like it’s a month that quickly passes without much happening but this year, it was different. Though it lasted for only 28 days, it was one of the most productive and busiest February I’ve had in a while.
I completed two trips and that in itself is more than my desire and I simply can’t complain about that! My Qatar trip was sprung onto me unexpectedly, but that’s the beauty of how life works. (Stay tuned for my experience with Qatar Airways new Q Suite coming up in a few weeks!)

As always, I revisit the goals I’ve set for myself in February as a means to analyze my progress and productivity. I told myself that I would be selective with NYFW shows this year and to be quite honest, I actually didn’t attend any shows! I only attended a few events and meetings but I was totally okay with that because I wasn’t in the right headspace or have that craving desire to do so. I am all about going with your gut and listening to what you truly want to do rather than what you think others want you to do.

Moving onto my second goal, it was to do a mini detox. I think I failed in this section because I had so many travels and social events to attend that I let myself go. However, I am not going to make myself guilty because things happen and it’s all about getting back on track, which is why I am challenging myself to make this a priority for March. And lastly,  my third goal is to plan my travels for the next few months. I have just come back from Antigua and finalizing the details for my Asia trip, so I am looking forward to completing that this week!

March is also another busy month for me. What I’ve realized by setting these monthly goals is that I am soaking in what each day and week has in store for me more than I’ve ever done in the past. I have made a conscious decision to do as much as I can instead of simply allowing these days to pass without meaning or purpose.

With that being said, here are my three monthly goals for March:

1. Pre-record episodes for The City Confessions: For those of you who don’t know, I launched my podcast, The City Confessions in January and it has been my baby ever since. I haven’t done extreme promotion or marketing for it because it’s a passion project. Of course I would love to gain new listeners so definitely check it out if you have the time! Before releasing my first episode to the public, I had a month of preparation, which allowed me to record in advanced. However, my workload has been catching up with me and I am not necessarily behind schedule with my episodes but I would like to definitely line up a few interviews and have at least 2-4 pre-recorded episodes before each episode is live. So by the end of the month, I would love to have my four interviews for April to be recorded and edited.
2. Increase intensity of workout: I’m not sure if you guys agree but I feel like summer is already right around the corner. I usually associate March as the month to buckle down when it comes to diet and fitness. I have been trying different classes and routines to shock my body and I am hoping to crank it up even more for this month and become stronger and more toned.
3. Mentally prepare for my Asia trip: It’s probably no surprise but yes I am traveling again! I will be in Singapore and Thailand during the last two weeks of March and because it’s a longer trip than I normally go on at a time, I want to mentally prepare myself so I can have a smooth travel experience. I also need to wrap up all my current projects as I don’t like to have anything unfinished while I am away. This of course also relates to my first goal of pre-recording my podcast episodes and also having my blog posts drafted as well.

I am excited for the month of March. I know it will be a hectic one but I also think my trip will be a great reward. It’s important to remember to play hard, work hard. That has always been a motto that I valued which has helped me stay on track and try not to get too burnt out. What are your main goals for the month of March? Do you guys have anything exciting happening? I would love to hear about them!
