Happy December everyone! I literally have no idea where November went. I feel like I blinked and we ended up in December! Does anyone else feel like that? Christmas is literally just round the corner. We are only a handful of weeks away from the start of a brand new year and a brand new decade!
November was a really good month for me. I have been really busy with my job, and also some other exciting side hustle projects. December is going to be a busy month with work, parties, catch- up’s and getting ready for C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S!
Blogging
ONE – PUBLISH 3 POSTS A WEEK
Incredibly, I actually managed to post twice a week all the way through November and I even managed some extra bonus posts as well. I have so much exciting content already planned for December. I’m not able to think commit to doing Blogmas, but I would like to post 3 times a week throughout December.
TWO – WORK ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
I am so very grateful to every single one of my followers – thank you so much for sticking with me. One of my overall goals is for me to work on and build my Social Media platforms, and spend a lot more time and effort being active and posting on all my social media as often as I possibly can.
THREE – WORK ON MY INSTAGRAM
This goal follows on from above. As a Blogger, I know that Social Media is very important. I have always had a love affair with Twitter, but I am starting to realise that Instagram is now the platform that all the influencers are using. Definitely needing to up my Instagram game and put more effort into my images and captions this month.
FOUR – WORK ON MY PINTEREST
Pinterest is amazing! Finally managed to get round to setting up my Pinterest page properly and have been pinning like mad!. I would absolutely love it if you guys came over and followed me on my Pinterest.
FIVE – ATTEND MORE BLOGGER EVENTS
November has been a great month for Blogger events, and I have some really exciting events coming up in December and the start of next year and I really can’t wait to share with you guys.
PERSONAL
ONE – EXERCISE REGULARLY
Finally it is time for me to address my issues with exercise and spend some time on getting fit and healthy again. I have been following Slimming World for a while now. I have lost almost 4 stone in weight which I am really pleased with. However, I still have issues with exercise and that needs addressing. If you want to find out why I struggle so much with exercise, take a look at my recent post where I talk about my anxiety with exercise.
TWO – LOOK AFTER ME
Life has really calmed down for me now, and I am looking forward to spending a lot more time on myself, and looking after myself. I realise that self-care, in whatever form that takes, is so very important, and from now on, I will be spending a lot more time on self-care and taking care of me.
THREE – READ MORE
Reading is the one thing I really love. I have been reading a lot in November and this has really helped me to relax and feel calm. I have been taking part in a lot of Book Blog Tours recently, which has given me the perfect opportunity to cuddle up on the sofa and indulge in some me time with a good book.
FOUR – WRITE IN MY JOURNAL
I love spending just a few minutes at the end of the day writing in my journal. This for me has been the biggest positive change I have made – spending just a few minutes each day writing in my journal helps me so much to process thoughts and concerns I have. I have written a guest post over on Do 5 Things a Day all about how journaling has helped my emotional health and to help process thoughts, feelings and emotions.
