MAY WISHLIST: SELF GROWTH.

{sfbaygirl; careergirldaily; weheartit}

Since I've started blogging, I noticed that monthly wishlists are quite popular amongst bloggers. We are all a little nosy and love to pop over and see what people are dying to add to their collections. I did my first wishlist last month.

For this month, I wanted to do something a little bit different. Rather than make a list of all the materialistic items that I want oh so badly, I thought I would focus a bit more on some intangible items for my May Wishlist. So here goes!

1. Try to see the positive in every negative situation: I know we tend to focus on all the things that could possible go wrong in our daily life. It all comes down to just shifting your perspective and looking at any given situation through a different lens. So my goal for this month is to constantly remind myself that no matter what the circumstance, there is always a learning opportunity in every situation.

2. Reach 200 views on my blog/youtube every day: Setting short-term goals in order to achieve your long term goals is an important part of getting to your planned destination. Short term goals  help you stay focused and it's a great way to gauge your performance. If your short term goals are not aligned with what you want to achieve, then by alternating the little goals you can eventually set yourself up for bigger success. My goal for my blog/youtube is to reach at least 200 blog views and youtube views each day for the month of May!

3. Do one thing daily that makes me happy: Whether its going for a long walk while jamming out to my favorite playlist, watching my favorite youtubers or just being down right lazy, I am going to do one thing every day that makes my heart smile.

4. Wake up 15 minutes earlier than my normal wake up time: We've all heard it countless times. Your mornings can affect your entire day. If you wake up late, you are often rushing out the door to make it to work on time, forgetting to eat breakfast and the like. This will set a bad mood for the rest of your day. So why not wake up 15 minutes earlier than your usual time to give yourself a relaxing morning so that you can carry that good/ positive feeling throughout your day. My goal for this month is to wake up 15 minutes earlier so that I can sit down and actually enjoy my coffee.

5. Meet up with an old friend: We often get so busy making a living that we forget to actually live. So why not meet up with an old friend whom you shared some of the best memories with and have strayed away from. Make that phone call to meet up for coffee and just catch up on life. My goal is to meet up with one old friend this month.

There you have it. That is what's on my wishlist for May! What's even better about this type of wishlist is that, one it doesn't cost ANYTHING. Two, you know that all of the items are fully attainable and it's in your hands to make them happen. I urge other bloggers to also shift their focus a little bit. Why not add a few items of personal growth on our monthly wishlists. So, who's with me ladies?

What's on your May Wishlist?
