September Goals

Being slightly different. I am not one to start my goals at the start of the month, that is far too predictable! Instead, I thought I would let September bed in a week or so, think about them and then give them a go. So I suppose this is more of an “autumn goal list” really.

Running

This is my first goal. I have ‘messed’ about with it for a while and I do not even know why… Just one of those Nina things. But things got serious the other night, I ordered a running lead for Moo! There goes my excuse that Moo doesn’t like/can’t do road running. We tried it and she didn’t hate it. If I am being honest, I am not convinced she like it all that much, but she didn’t hate it and I am taking that as progress. So my goal, is to become more structured with my running and then (fingers crossed) I will become better and better. As I am bloody struggling at the moment, I am aiming for at least four time a week, remember I did say aiming! Let’s see how this goes..

Reading

I read A LOT of books in august. I read so many fabulous books and I am determined to continue this into autumn (see what I did there, I really need to retitle this post at some point..!) There is something about curling up with a book and a brew during autumn that I just love ♥ I read a lot of fiction and I want to read some non-fiction/personal development type books – to basically broaden what I read. Too many fiction books tend to merge into one – chick lit and fantasy just turn into one big story, so I need to break it up a little bit. Suggestions of any books you have loved would be greatly received...

Podcast

If you know me, you know I rave about audiobooks. I do not deal well with traffic, I’ll be honest, I am better than The Boy, but still I get restless and these are bloody fab at distracting me (think small child distractions – it’s true). I read an article over the summer about Bryony Gordon's Mad World podcast series and it was bloody amazeballs. As they are so short, they are perfect for runs and the delightful commute. I would love to find some more I can listen to, but I am struggling. If you have any you subscribe to, send them over, I am open to listening to anything.

Decluttering

I had some time off in January and made an epic start with decluttering. EVERYWHERE was decluttered, The Boy was concerned he was going to been thrown out, it was awesome! Obviously not that he was going to be thrown out, but the whole clearing out and creating space – and breathe.. But over the summer months, it is just starting to creep back in! Slowly but bloody surely! So I am going to get back to decluttering: clothes, books, papers, general crap that accumulates all over the place. It just needs to be brought back to basics. 

Love for now
