Why I Love a New Month

I love flipping my calendar to a new month. It's so clean, clear and full of opportunities. The beginning of a new month allows one to think of all that was (or was not... let's face it, I did some hibernating in February) accomplished the month before. It also offers one a chance to look forward to the month ahead, and to set goals and intentions for the next 30 days. I don't know about you, but I find making a New Year's Resolution in January for the next 12 months a bit intimidating, a little silly, and unrealistic. I know myself all too well and know that my attention span paired with a 12 month resolution isn't a good match. The thing I like about a new month is that you can set a much more attainable New Year's Resolution 12 times a year. Heck, if you want to become a fan of Monday's you could look at them this way as well, and you get to set a New Year's Resolution 52 times a year! I'm excited for March, and am excited for my attainable goals for the month! Here are a few of them:

• YOGA EVERYDAY. As someone who used to go to a great yoga studio regularly, I have been craving to get back into it, but unfortunately there aren't any studios that are convenient for me to go to here. While looking for some alternative options I found 30 Days of Yoga on YouTube and am committing myself to do yoga each day this month. I did Day #1 this morning and loved it!

• DON'T SHOP. When I say don't shop, I mean don't shop for things other than groceries and necessities for home and daily life. I have enough. Enough clothes, enough shoes, enough accessories. I have enough.

• ORGANIZE CLOTHES CLOSET. This may reinforce the "don't shop" goal. I always find that when I organize my closet I realize I have a lot more than I remembered and realize I don't need to buy more things.

What are you going to do to make March awesome?
