NOVEMBER GOALS + OCTOBER RECAP

I feel like every month seems to fly by faster than the previous one, but I guess that's just what happens when you get older. October brought the first bout of cold rainy winter weather here in Germany and let me tell you, even as someone who hails from a city called "Rain-couver", it's depressing. I guess the difference is that living in a small town with no transit system hinder my mobility as it is so that when it's rainy I am definitely not leaving the house. Oh well I just know now I will have to work extra hard to stay positive during these winter months, but I'm sure watching Bean learn and grow will be a great distraction.

Here is how I did last month:

one. Eat Better. Mostly
I still ate a lot of toast with Nutella, but I also began re-introducing sweet potatoes in my diet. We did a bunch of veggie filled soup/stews which were lovely.

two. Read at least one new book. Yes, only one
Yeah I had hoped to do more but one it was. I read #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso which I thoroughly enjoyed and will hopefully be doing a post around my thoughts on the book at some point in the near future.

three. Create something. Not really
I wasn't feeling super creative this past month, so I really didn't do anything in this respect. I think I need to work on some things within myself first before I can put my efforts towards anything external.

four. Establish one new habits. Yes!
Creating habits take time so I was extremely surprised that I realized that started (and stuck with) two new things this month, I began making my bed and I began writing in my journal before going to sleep. I've been following Leo Babauta's advice for changing habits almost religiously.

November Goals:

one. Clean a little bit every day
two. Improve my German
three. Be more in tune with my body
four. Read more to Bean
