April Goals

Thirty-one days can change a lot of things, including goals. At my day job, we got an email Monday from the CEO reminding us that we only make the transition to work from home two weeks ago. It’s been a long two weeks and when it was time to sit down and make my April goals, I had a lot of giggles looking at some of the goals that I had.

Like the gym. Y’all the gym isn’t even open anymore.

I leave my house once a week to go to the grocery store. If I need to get out, I go to the patio where I have a little table and chairs and some stringed up lights, and I’ve been spending at least 3 or 4 nights a week out here, writing until it’s dark or I need to charge my computer. It’s a nice little escape from the closed in walls of my apartment.

However, when it came to making goals for this month, it was a little bit more unique.

March goals seem so silly now.

Some of my goals are still pretty standard for April but there are definitely some still missing. The week we went to work from home, I broke my toe. It’s doing much better but between that and being locked in a house, I definitely feel stiff. I ordered a yoga mat on amazon this weekend and it should arrive today.

I have never done yoga in my life, but I am so desperate for some kind of movement. I’ve made it a goal this week to stretch every day just to loosen up.

So what are my goals in April?

Staying at home and focusing my house and creativity should hopefully be a good balance for the month as I try to not go crazy.
