4th Quarter Goals

We have almost made it to October! Before we jump into this post, lets take a moment to *insert comments about how quickly the year has flown by here.*

I absolutely love fall. Here in the South, it never actually feels like fall until one day you wake up in almost November and it is too cold to wear shorts anymore, but even though it is still hot and the trees aren’t changing color, everyone here still gets into the fall spirit. October 1st, schools are taking field trips to the pumpkin patch, people are sipping their latte’s and Christmas music is playing through the speakers at Walmart (too soon, y’all!)

Fall is like the final quarter of the game. There’s one last stretch to cram what you can into the year. It is a great time to set some short term goals you want to complete by the end of the year. Maybe this means committing the last 3 months of 2017 to the new years resolution you made in January or to get a head start on something that you’ll benefit from once 2018 rolls around. It’s up to you!

Here are a few of my 4th quarter goals for the next few months:

• Get back on track with exercising regularly.
  Outside of teaching my ballet classes, I have kind of fallen off the wagon in the health and fitness realm. I have gotten into the habit of going home and wasting time until it is too late in the evening to get a workout in…there’s really no excuse!
• Wake up earlier.
  This might seem like a pretty vague goal, but one of the things that I want to do between now and the end of December is better utilize the time I have before work. There are so many benefits of waking up earlier, and I’m interested to see how my daily life would change if I woke up earlier instead of sleeping until the last minute.
• Waste less time.
  I waste so much time…just in general. Checking my phone before I get out of bed, playing games on my phone, watching youtube videos and Netflix…basically watching the ceiling fan turn and the clock tick. How much more things could I do in the day if I didn’t waste so much time?
