I can't believe that it's already October and that I've been in California for four months. For my birthday, I created a 101 in 1001 list. I've already made some progress, but still have a long way to go!
Doctor, Dentist and Optometrist appointments: One of my first "adulting" tasks for after graduation was to have a check up and finally get glasses.
Meditate every day for 1 month: This was the most challenging goal to achieve this quarter. I use the app Calm, which is free and has hundreds of meditations for every instance. I especially love that the app has sleep stories for when you are having trouble falling asleep. I am still not sure if I am a better person because of my meditation, but I really enjoyed the challenge.
Buy coffee for a stranger: There is a homeless woman who I see most mornings on my walk into work. She has a big smile and greets everyone, and I often think about her the rest of the day. One day, I was having an especially rough commute, so decided to buy her a cup of coffee. I truly think that it did more to change my day than change hers, but I was glad to know that she was drinking a warm beverage while sitting outside.
By the next time I post an update, my goals are to:
- Go on a yoga retreat (I'm going to Soul Camp in a few weeks!)
- Go to a trivia night
- Drink 8 glasses of water per day for a month
- Find an exercise routine
