it's been an insanely rainy and blah kind of week here in pa, but the sun is finally peeking out and summer is just around the corner and i'm very happy about that! i know that summer will just fly by, as it always does, so in order to get the most out of it, i've made a list of my summer goals, or things i'd like to see happen this summer.
by "community", i mean goals that i have for spending time with or doing things with or for other people…
travel! day trips or long weekends…i want to get out of town this summer!
have good conversations…dig deep
go to a concert or two (starting with onerepublic at the end of this month!)
be an encourager
go on a few fun dates with aj
spend a lot of time with family
my personal goals revolve around things i need to do for me…
read…work my way through my stack of unread books
take time each week to sit at a coffee shop and write/blog
get into a better devotional routine
knock a few diy projects off of my list
clean out and thin out my closet and room
save money like crazy
circle some big goals/dreams in prayer and see where God takes them!
learn to rest and abide
have tech-free days
i started setting some serious wellness goals for myself this spring, and i want to see those continue!
train for a half marathon (and run 13.1 by summer's end!)
eat better
adjust my mindset to stay inspired and motivated
workout at least 3x per week
go on lots of walks with aj
bike with my dad as he trains for his 150 mile ride this fall
juice a lot
wear sunscreen regularly
what are your goals for this summer?
I need to actually keep the wellness goals I've made for myself because so far, I'm failing at them!! :P
ReplyDeletehey girl! I've been meaning to tell you how much I love your new look!
ReplyDeletealso- I just wanted to make sure I had the correct email address- I didn't get your reply for the group post, and I wanted to make sure you get the one for your highlight post this month! <3
I love your summer goals, too - by the way. The community goal in particular resonates with me. I really want to make that a priority this summer too. <3
Love this list! I wish I had some solid summer goals - time to create some!
ReplyDeleteLove these…..working out 3 times a week is one of my goals too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like good goals, good luck x
ReplyDeleteI need to add the 3 times a week to my list, I was hoping for 4 on the week we went on vacation and I just spent that time sleeping in with J, so no exercise accomplished. I need to make more time for myself and my family as well.
ReplyDeleteI love this list, especially because staying fit and healthy during the summer is great! You can find my summer goals here http://www.simplyadventurous.com/2014/06/summer-bucket-list.html
ReplyDeleteI REALLY need to starteating better too =\ and wear sunscreen more! I'm so so bad at that, and I know I definitely need to start using it on my face!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful goals. I need to have some tech free days, and get outside more. I also need to stop eating chocolate.. I eat far too much of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in favor of doing things for yourself! It really benefits everyone! Reading is the best! And yay for the marathon, you go, girl!

I want to do a half by the end of summer, too! Great goals, good luck!
ReplyDeleteI plan to get lots of stuff done this summer. Primarily, finishing an e-book I've been working on! That's, of course, in between all the time I'll be spending at the beach with my kids!
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome goals! This post is making me think of summer goals that I would like to set!
ReplyDeleteSome great goals here, good luck with them. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I love how you set the list up and broke it into categories....great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's great - I really need to organize my Summer goals in this manner! :)
ReplyDeletei feel like it makes it easier to accomplish (or at least swallow) when it's broken down!
ReplyDeletethanks! it feels more manageable that way!
ReplyDeletethanks Jemma!
ReplyDeletethanks! what goals would be on your list?
ReplyDeletefinishing an e-book….that's awesome! oh, and i'm sooo excited to get to the beach! have fun!!
ReplyDeleteawesome! i'm thinking about signing up for philly's half in september and maybe the bay state half in october!
ReplyDeleteyes! thanks…half marathon actually but maybe a full marathon someday…we'll see!! :)
ReplyDeletethanks! i definitely need to schedule those tech-free days…and yes…getting outside! we had such rough winter that i need to soak up the warm weather!
ReplyDeleteit can be so hard to kickstart that healthy eating…and i need to get a small bottle of sunscreen to keep in my purse so i never have an excuse not to wear it!
ReplyDeleteyes! i will definitely check out your goals! :)
ReplyDeleteexercising on vacation is so hard! i always have good intentions of doing it and then i fail…haha oh well!
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeleteawesome! good luck!
ReplyDeleteyes! they're kind of fun to create actually! :)
ReplyDeleteyes…i just want to really dive into quality relationships and making time for friends and family, you know? i hope you got my email…if not, you do have the right email address for me, but i was just terrible about answering emails this week! so sorry! :(
ReplyDeletewhy are those always some of the hardest to keep?! oh man…i'm with you…i gotta get myself totally motivated!
ReplyDeleteOne Republic! So jealous! And great goals! Especially like your wellness goals. I need to work on some of those. Haha.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. Also. LOVE your graphics. They look really nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals! I'm settinglad some health goals for the summer
ReplyDeleteThose are great goals! I love them. I think you pretty much covered all areas of life.
ReplyDeletethanks! i tried! they feel a little more manageable when broken down into categories :)
ReplyDeleteyeah? i'm attempting on continuing my health goals…i haven't been doing so good with really eating healthy, but i need to kick that into high gear!
ReplyDeletethanks so much! you're too sweet!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals, I'm trying to get back to the gym at least 5 times a week, so hopefully that's a goal I get! Good luck on them!
ReplyDeleteExcellent goals. My to-read stack is starting to pile up as well!
ReplyDeleteLoving these goals!! (I need to get back in the habit of wearing sunscreen daily, too.) I am attempting to save money like crazy, too!!! Good luck, lady! :)
ReplyDeleteHow is your devotional routine going? That's always the hardest for me!!
ReplyDeleteAre you reading the Circle Maker? For circling those dreams in prayer!
ReplyDeleteI read it about a year/year and a half ago...our church did it as a sermon series, and I was actually able to go to National Community Church for an Orange Tour One-Day conference with our children's & youth min teams from church and we heard Mark Batterson speak! It was so cool then to read the book and be able to visualize the building and block in DC that he literally walked a prayer circle around!
ReplyDeleteUgh...so not great. I'm really really terrible at being consistent...always have been. I need some legit, tough-love accountability for it! Here's to getting better! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is son wonderful!
ReplyDeletethanks! also, speaking of mark batterson...today i was in a meeting with our lead pastor and we were talking about needing footage of the jefferson memorial for an upcoming sermon series and he goes "well we could just call mark and ask him to send one of his media guys out to grab some footage for us so we don't have to go to dc"....and i just sat there thinking "this is my life....i work for a church were we casually talk about calling up Mark Batterson and asking for favors....what on earth." hahaha
ReplyDeleteHAA! So fun!
