OCTOBER GOALS

Happy October! I absolutely love this time of year because we are transitioning into the fall and that’s my favorite season 🙂 I’m all about autumn leaves, pumpkin spice everything and sweater weather! I know it’s a bit daunting that winter is also right around the corner but I love getting into the fall spirit and enjoying everything this October month has to offer. With that being said, I am happy to note that I have achieved my two goals from September.

I kept them pretty simple knowing that I was going to be away for the last two weeks and also was busy for the first two considering it was NYFW. It’s no wonder why my two goals were to solidify my Paris and Portugal trip and to enjoy NYFW. I have to say September was probably one of my busiest month so far in 2018 but I have no complaints because it was also an exciting one! I actually just got back from my Paris and Portugal trip so stay tuned for my recap. I won’t go into too many details for my Portugal trip but there was definitely a lot of planning because it was the first time, the trip consisted of a rental car and I have never explored a foreign country by car before. Needless to say, I was able to plan everything successfully, thus completing the first goal. And my second goal was to simply enjoy NYFW and I definitely had a great time! I was selective with the events and shows because I purposefully didn’t want to overwhelm myself.

As it’s a new month, I have come up with the below three goals for October.

1. Reset and regroup: If you have traveled for more than a week, then you know it takes time for your body to reset and regroup. I am not only referring to the time change but also to the daily routine and tasks of your normal life. I actually adapt pretty quickly, but I would love to dedicate the first week to getting back into the groove of things. I think I am doing well so far since I just came back last Friday and I’m already back on my blog post game.
2. Enjoy fall: This might be an easy goal to achieve but my vision for enjoying fall is to do one fall related activity such as pumpkin or apple picking, visiting a vineyard, taking a stroll in Central Park and taking photos, etc. I want to truly bask into this season and actually schedule these activities into my calendar and make sure fall doesn’t slip through.
3. Connect with my contacts: Obviously since I have been away, I have not been able to meet up with friends and colleagues and I want to use this month to reconnect with both my professional and personal contacts. I am making this a priority as it relates to my first goal of resetting and regrouping. I always like to check in with my network and try to build and strengthen my relationships.

I have a great feeling that October will be an amazing month! The weather has been truly beautiful and I am thoroughly enjoying the breeze. Let me know what your one goal is for the month of October!
