+READ MY BIBLE - Despite falling off my routine a bit, I am proud to say that I've still been reading from my Bible every day. I have switched up reading in chronological order to now just choosing a random section each day, however this is one thing I've pushed myself to keep up with.
+START A NEW BOOK - The reading has pretty much stopped everywhere else. I've been wanting to dive into a self-help book for a little inspiration so I think I'll start The Power of Now next by Eckhart Tolle. I also want to go back and re-start How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I know that if I put too much pressure or expectation on myself to read, it never happens. Instead of being too rigid with this one, I'm going to just shoot for reading a page or two a day. That has worked well for me in the past and more often than not, I end up reading way more than that.
+WORKOUTS - I'm on month two of my upgraded OTF membership which means I can go to eight classes. As of now, I'm still excited about this change haha. When I get tired or busy during the holidays, the gym motivation may or may not drop. That being said, I'm committed to knocking these out + I also want to add in some workouts at home. I recently learned about calisthenics which I'm intrigued by + think would be really great for my overall health.
+EAT MORE VEGGIES - Alright, back to not generalizing that I "just need to cut back." I most definitely *DO* need to cut back, however sometimes I think the restrictive nature can be counter-productive. Instead, we're going to try to just add in more veggies. The goal is to swap those in place of something less healthy I'd eat otherwise which will also add extra nutrients + vitamins.
+EAT LESS SUGAR - One area I should be more restrictive on is sugar. Ya'll- it's bad. I have a major sweet tooth and have always been a dessert girlie through and through. I've never related to people who say they don't like desserts or sweets, haha. Give me all the cookies, candies, chocolate. Yum! That being said- we're definitely a little too friendly with each other. I'm also at the point where I know it isn't good in excess and that it can cause inflammation, etc. It's definitely a double edge sword trying to balance + still indulge a little. I know it would be unrealistic for me to completely cut out sugar but I'm going to start with limiting the obvious sugars. Cutting back on desserts and foods that have a high amount of added sugar.
+CASTOR OIL - Have you tried using castor oil for anything? I've seen several videos on TikTok of how amazing it can be for health. I'm curious to try it out. I'd like to do one of those stomach wraps with it to see if it would help detox my body.
Do you have any goals for September?
