July is here and silly me, I can’t help but go on making lists of things I want to do knowing that I will either do them or fail to do them. What I am learning is that distractions are good, diversions are good too-sometimes, it may take you longer but if you know where you are headed, getting there is always a good feeling.

So, in June I got to read more books and stretch my #GoodreadsChallenge so now I’m at 68 of 183 books. I want to continue to share snippets of my thoughts on books that I have read in this month too.

There are three things I didn’t get to commit to in June:

1. Writing every day
2. Working out every day- I even bought a yoga mat that’s gathering dust beneath my bed now!
3. Being kind to myself-speaking well and positively to myself.

So, in July-the seventh month of the year, I want to:

1. Write 300 words of my new book- every day.
2. Work out every day
3. Continue waking up at 6am.
4. Take an online course or two, in a field totally new to me and commit to the study hours.
5. Drink more water, mind my own business.
6. Read more books both paperbacks and ebooks-especially that unread list on Netgalley.
7. Walk more often
8. Be more efficient and proactive at work-there are projects that are coming to a close and new assignments to be taken on.

Until then, have an awesome month- and in all that you do, my wish is that you are fully present, so each moment doesn’t become a regret but rather a building block into who are you becoming.
