New Month, New Goals!

I'm an avid list maker. I have lists for everything  places I want to go, things I want to try, to-do today, to-do this week, meals to make, items I.... I think you get the point. 

My favorite thing about a new week, new month or new year = new list of goals! I try to keep them realistic so it's easy for me to stay motivated: I can and will finish this list.


1. Run 50 Miles: Between school, work, kickboxing and yoga -- 50 miles in one month is a pretty solid milestone for me. I'm still a novice runner for sure & currently max out at 4 miles/run. I'm hoping this will encourage me to increase my distance, as well as motivate me to get out there more often!

2. Finish 5 Books: I LOVE reading but find it becomes the first thing I ditch when life gets a little busy. Reading calms & enlightens me and I want to make it a point to do more of this this month to help with overall happiness. 

3. Maintain >3.5 GPA: This is pretty straightforward. I'm in school for aerospace engineering (with the hopes of working for NASA one day). I NEED to stay focused on my classes and make studying a priority... which I'm ashamed to say a good old weekend Netflix binge has won out way too many times recently. I mean Mad Men, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? I'm only human.

4. Try 3 New Things:  Going back to that whole list thing: I have a looong list of things I want to try. I NEED to figure out what I want to do and set aside real time for it, or else the month will just fly by as it tends to do. So far I think I'm gonna go with a trapeze school class, paddleboarding and participating in a dancing flash mob (eek!). 

5. Travel: I live in NYC and haven't been outside the 5 boroughs since Christmas. With school and work, I don't have time for a nice long vacation but even just a weekend excursion upstate or home to Florida will do. I need a little sunshine and R&R! 


What are your goals for the month? I'd love to hear them!
Really, leave your goals in the comments and let's inspire each other :)
