Hello, June!

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Ours was busy with errands, house chores, and activities. Well, that’s a pretty normal weekend these days, I guess. Did you catch my post yesterday? I recapped May; it was a good month of all the things.

Now it’s time to usher in a new month.

Honestly, June has always been one of my favorite months. It’s the start of summer which typically means having a little more downtime. I think that’s why I’m struggling so much with still being in school this week. July will now be the only month with no school. Anyway, just like always, I want to make the most of my summer.

Here are a few good reminders:

…and a checklist…

Refresh your space: June and January tend to be the months I set aside some time to declutter. I can’t wait. My closet needs a good purge!
Drink more water: I think I already do a good job with this, but I’m sure I can always drink more water. My trusty tumbler is my sidekick year round.
Try something new: I love making summer lunches and incorporating new lunch ideas since I have more time.
Plan one fun summer memory: Hopefully, we’ll have a few summer memories.
Update your goals: Summer is always a good time to reset. I sure hope to get back to working out regularly and getting more steps in again.
Get outside and soak up the sunshine: I can’t wait for pool time and sipping my morning coffee on my front porch.
Practice gratitude daily: I’m going to start with being thankful for not setting an alarm when that time comes. haha! Truly, I’m grateful for a little downtime soon.
Set social media boundaries: For sure!
Romanticize your routine: I think that’s easier to do when I have a little more time, which summer provides. Also, it will be nice to go for walks when I want, take more time for my skincare, have a second iced coffee, etc.
Take care of your mental health: This is such an important focus. For me, getting more sleep and having some downtime are instrumental.
