A new month has arrived once again! Believe it or not, January actually felt quite long. I have a feeling, though, that this month is going to fly by! Besides already being shorter than the rest, there are a lot of things going on for me. I will be finishing my first round of Whole30, celebrating Valentine's Day with my love, and going out of town for the weekend with friends! It is definitely going to be a great month filled with fun and a bit of relaxation :)
Though it will be a busy, shorter month, I still have some goals I would like to achieve!
+ Make good use of my extra time.
I am blessed this semester with only having to take one class, which means I have a lot of free time. It is definitely nice, but I need to make sure I am making the most of that time and am using it to develop other areas of my life. I have found that I am a bit slow to get started with things in the morning, so I need to be more disciplined and have a plan going in to each day.

+ Read two books.
I don't know how many times I have made reading a book a monthly goal and how many times it has never been accomplished. Sigh. I absolutely love reading, but I always tend to turn to other things when I have a few moments that I could spend reading. I am going to commit myself to reading two books this month though and make sure that it actually happens! I'm thinking of making it a routine to end my evening with reading before bed :)
+ Finish Whole30!
Woohoo! February 13th is my official "last day" of Whole30, although I am really not sure yet what my plan is beyond that. I don't want to un-do all of the hard work I have put in! I can notice my body feeling and looking better, so I don't want to ruin that. Regardless, I will celebrate my 30 day mark in some way and am committed to finishing strong!
+ Find an extra job.
Since I have all this free time during the week and I live on my own, I would really like to find an additional job to make some extra money. It is expensive to live here in the Bay Area and while I am getting by, I would like to have some more income to be able to put money away into savings and to not have to live on such a tight budget. Send some happy thoughts my way regarding this!
+ Take more photos.
Photography is one of my biggest passions in life, yet I have found that I haven't been taking very many photos lately. I always feel so great and fulfilled when I am fueling this creative part of me, so it is time to make it a priority and be more intentional about it. I'm hoping to have a photo adventure soon! Anyone want to join me?
Do you have any goals for February?
Happy new month, friends!
