How to handle when your goals are not progressing

How to handle when your goals are not progressing like you wanted 👇🏻
We have all been there! I'm there right now 😅 it can be a really bad feeling though and I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to!
First, acknowledge WHY you are struggling with your goal progress. Sometimes it's easy to fix & sometimes it's not but why it's happening is key 🙌🏻
How to handle it:
• be nice to yourself... you can't do EVERYTHING
• be honest - is this something you can achieve? If not, that's okay!!
• celebrate the smallest wins regardless of your progress
➡️ are you hard on yourself when you aren't on track with your goals?

Happy Monday! Or as I like to think of it, pre-pre-pre-pre Friday 🎉
Mondays can be tough but they are also the start of a new week + full of possibilities!
This Monday I am spending time on:
• content planning for the week (a little roll over from yesterday bc I got tired lol)
• blog writing
• finishing up the newsletter for this month!!
• enjoying the sunshine 🌞
If you can change your mindset on Monday then you are one step closer to having a fantastic, productive week!
➡️ how do you feel about Mondays?

3 tips for having the most productive life admin d

3 tips for having the most productive life admin day 👇🏻
First off, what is a life admin day? Its basically just a day you dedicate to getting all those annoying tasks done that you've been meaning to do for a while.
1️⃣ Have a running list of tasks. I generally don't do things because I forget... so having a list is really helpful for life admin days
2️⃣ Task batch! If you hate making phone calls like me and end up with lots of calls to return or appointments to make, do them all at the same time. Same goes got any type of task (cleaning, shopping, bills, etc.)
3️⃣ Make the day fun. A life admin day made be filled with all the tasks you don't want to do (hello 1000 emails) but it doesn't need to suck!! Take yourself out for lunch, get a fancy coffee, get your nails done! Add something fun into the day as well 😊
➡️ do you have life admin days or is this a new idea to you??

💭 I'm still a long way from reaching my blogging goals (views, money, opportunities) BUT lately I've been focusing on how far I've come and I'm feeling proud!
Just a reminder that small progress is still progress. Life has been busy lately and my goals took a back seat temporarily and that's okay!! But I'm back on track and so excited 🙌🏻

Happy Monday!! Let's do a little month wrap up 💫🎉
May was not the most exciting month but it was still a good one! I did a lot of fun things which really kept me busy and tired haha but the sunshine improved my mood. Hoping to see more of that soon ☀️
I also managed to kill my plants this month... I partially blame a wind storm we got but I also know I'm a bad plant parent 😬 oops
You can read my full recap on the blog (link in bio) but here is a small one:
• I read 3 books (slow reading month for me)
• did some small home improvements (👀 the cupboard organization)
• took the sea-doo out for the first time
• made homemade chicken strips in the air fryer, yum!
• started a resource page for the blog!
Hoping you all had a good month and I can't wait to hear about your highlights!! Tell me how your May was 👇🏻
