Gearing up for Spring! 7 Things I’m doing to improve this Season.
A new season is here, and I’m so here for it. The weather is feeling so good, FINALLY. Corona is still out, but regardless of that, I’m thankful for Spring’s arrival. Almost 4 months into the new year, I have a few goals I plan to work towards these upcoming months.
Keep reading to see what I’m working on this season.
GOAL #1
Get my blog traffic up! This requires me writing more blog posts, and making sure I’m sharing them to Twitter (tips for new bloggers) with good SEO keywords. I also need to continuously make sure I’m posting 1 YouTube video a week & more short videos over on Tiktok.
GOAL #2
Get out in Nature more! I love taking walks outside and visiting different parks and trails in and around Atlanta. This helps me get more in tune with myself and just reground. It also really helps with anxiousness and I always feel like my problems are so much smaller than what I thought after going outside. I believe nature has true healing powers, and that we can really benefit by just going for a while out, getting exercise in and taking in some fresh air!
GOAL #3
Double my monthly income over these next few months. I’ve seen a pretty large increase over the past few months, so I know this can be done, by continuing to consistently post, and bring value to my audience. And continue only taking on partnerships that feel genuine to myself and brand!
GOAL #4
Develop better money management habits. I spend way too much currently on coffee and eating out. Whenever I do cook at home, many times I end up liking my own food better, it’s just taking the time out to plan and do it. I’m changing that, and going to try to save eating out mainly for weekends, and make coffee at home :)
GOAL #5
Find and meet more people who are working towards the same goals as me. Meeting new people in the middle of a pandemic this isn’t the easiest, but I have been building more relationships with people through social media who are working towards similar goals same goals as me. I definitely want to continue this. Relationship building is everything in the Influencer industry, and really does help a lot! Having people who are also in the industry and same niche as you, that you’re comfortable discussing partnerships, rates with, and brand negotiations with is so important.
GOAL #6
Spend less time on social media. Even though my main source of income is made from social media, my phone usage time is WAY too high (I’m almost uncomfortable telling it LOOL). Some days my screen time is 10+ hours. This is just TOO MUCH ya’ll. So I’m planning on cutting that in half or more. Honestly when I take a few days to myself and don’t post at all I feel myself way less anxious. The pressure of social media is so real, and always being ‘on’ is just unrealistic and too hard to even try to keep up with. Mental health breaks are necessary and just taking time to live in the real world outside of the interwebs is something you HAVE to do.
GOAL #7
Drink LESS coffee. This one is going to be HARD for me. If you know me personally or follow me on Instagram, you know my obsession with iced coffee is too real. Lol. But on days that I skip coffee, I actually feel a lot less anxious, and more clear headed. I really enjoy the taste of it, so it’s hard, but also drink it for caffeine reasons. I plan to start back drinking more matcha tea and no caffeine on some days. I love matcha though too and started drinking it a few years back. I just stopped buying it as often, because a small amount of matcha can be pretty expensive. But I spend a good amount on coffee, so I’m sure just buying matcha from the store will still be less than what I spend on Starbucks each week.
Let me know if you can relate to any of these goals I’ve set for myself, and tell me what are some things you’re working on or towards this Spring?
