November is all that I know, and all that I want to know. ~~Sweet November

Sweet November is one of my favorite chick-flicks. I do plan to watch it this month. 

November feels full of possibility this year. I'm taking a cue from Amy (among others) and challenging myself to 30 Days of Thank You. I'm planning a very low-key Thanksgiving meal – and hopefully a less chaotic one than last year. A few goals for this month (many that line up with my twelve practices)…

1. Let Go. – I am so very bad at this. I hang on to thoughts/people/expectations for dear life. I replay memories in excrutiating detail. I have this irrational fear that letting go erases everything that was good about an experience. I'm working on that this month. 

2. Go to the gym 3x a week. – Football is over, which means that crazy football schedules are over. Austin starts a yoga class on Tuesdays next week, so I can plan to go to the gym while he's in class (it's yoga for skiers and snowboarders – that's why I'm not joining him). 

3. Take my supplements. – Another thing that I am just bad inconsistent at. 

4. Schedule reading time. – A cup of tea/coffee, a book, and (probably) a blanket…at least once a week.

5. Meditate every day. – This isn't a new goal. I'm using these fabulous Spirit Junkie Guided Meditations – they're a great way to get started if you're interested in meditating! 

What are you planning for November?
