It’s finally December! I feel like this year has really flown by. I’ve have had some really low lows, but it’s also been one of the best year’s I’ve ever experienced (I got engaged!). I can’t believe it’s taken me until December to decide to start a monthly focus post. Going forward I really want to share with you (and in a way keep myself accountable) my goals for the new month. I think it’s important to set some focuses going ahead – whether they be serious or light-hearted. It’ll also be a great way of reflecting on the month when it comes to an end – and even better to reflect at the end of the year too.
December’s focuses are definitely going to be around Christmas and clear outs. As we’re coming to the end of the year, it’s only natural to start clearing out in preparation for the new year. This is going to be a very busy month for me, but I’m looking forward to it! So let’s take a look at all I want to focus on in the month of December:
DECEMBER GOALS
- Embrace the change at Christmas. This is the first time I’ll be spending Christmas away from my parents and siblings.
- Explore at least one Christmas market
- Post more regularly on my blog site (at least 2 posts a week). I was tempted to commit to Blogmas, but maybe next year!
- Start and complete Christmas shopping!
- Buy the page boy and little bride outfits for my wedding
- Clear out my beauty room
- Complete my clear out of my wardrobe
- Plan content for next year on my blog and possibly youtube
It just wanted to end this post with some encouragement. Christmas can be a very difficult time for many, especially if loved ones are no longer present. Take this time to not get too caught up in the commercialism of it all and really cherish moments you have – whether that be alone or with others. Go out of your way to create special moments this month – even just for yourself. See how you can get that ‘me time’ this Christmas in this post.
Do you write goals for the new month? Have you got any that you could share with us below? Let me know!
Speak soon,

Congratulations on the engagement, that’s so exciting. I didn’t really set too much for Christmas as I know it’s a busy time but I need to start having clear outs in the new year ready for my other half to move in sometime in 2018 x
Thank you! Yes clear outs are big deal this time of year x
Congrats on getting engaged! We also had a big year – we moved house! If you’d have told me this time last year we’d be moving in 2017 I’d have laughed a lot! Just shows you how much can change in a year…
Thank you! You too – a house is a big change! Just imagine what could be for 2018! X
Congratulations! I think writing the goals down is a great way to get yourself to commit to them and hold yourself accountable – more likely to achieve them then
It’s definitely helped this month as I’ve been really sticking to them! X
Oh and thank you! X
congrats on your engagement… must be an exciting time for you all and a busy one with planning a wedding. I need to take a leaf out of your book and start setting myself goals.
Thank you! The goals have really helped this month definitely. X
Congratulations on your engagement. You must have an exciting few months ahead. I really need to sit down and set some goals for my blog!
Thank you! Lots of planning still to be done lol. X
I was going to make a list of goals then realised with a baby on the way, I may be setting myself up to fail so I’m making one goal which is to write down what I’m thankful for each week (daily if I can manage it). Congrats on the engagement x
Thank you! That’s a great goal. Congrats to you too! X
Aww congratulations to you ! I don’t set goals but I should ! I really should !!! Happy Christmas x
Congratulations on your engagement! I have never spent Christmas away from my parents, good luck! I plan to do Blogmas next year (I did Vlogmas this year!)
Thank you! How did vlogmas go? X
Congratulations on your engagement! Our big thing this year was moving from Germany back to Scotland.
