In January, I set a goal to get back into my better habits. To get back into my routine. To get back to spending my morning in the rhythms that I love, the rhythms that make every day so much better. I set this goal as a starting point to the life I want in 2020. A life where I put my personal health and wellbeing above things that don’t bring me joy and happiness.

Sometimes sounds sappy to say things like that or to name prioritizing yourself above other things but at the end of the day, if I want to see change in my life, then I need to change things to get there- right?

I didn’t set that goal until the 14th so the goal is still only just over 2 weeks old. Some mornings I was really good about getting up, making coffee, and starting my day peacefully at home or by going to the gym. There were some days where that simply just didn’t happen though- like days where I was up at 2:30 am on a duty call. You really have the liberty to give yourself a lot of grace when working through your own goals and I definitely give myself permission for that on mornings when my job required me to be up late. Regardless of that, though, my January goal was one that I’m glad I started and I’m excited to continue through the rest of this year.

If this is the first “Making Moves in 2020” blog you’ve read, throughout this year, I decided to set a new goal every month and work hard that month to accomplish that goal. Some will be short term things that will be more of a “one and done’ kind of a goal. Others will take more time and continue on into the next months too. At the end of the day, the point of all of this is to challenge myself to be better, do better, and work hard toward the things I want.

Each month, I’ll post a blog introducing the goal and you can expect to see them showing up on the My Goals page too.

My goal for February is simply to focus more on myself. Focus on my health. Focus on my friendships. Focus on my mind. It’s not the most extravagant goal by any means, but it’s a goal nonetheless and one I’m excited to work for this month.
