August 2020 Goals

I’ve been doing a fun little series on my Instastories on authority, and I feel like it’s shifted the way that I look at my goals. Instead of writing out my goals for the month and checking them off one by one, or not checking them off at all because I get overwhelmed, I’ve been simply “taking authority” over areas of my life that, quite frankly, have felt like areas of defeat.

What I’ve learned is this: using a little bit of different language in regards to what you want to accomplish can be life giving! Instead of “I’m going to clean out my car” I said, “I’m taking authority over my car.” It is freeing, empowering, and for me, it’s re-established the joy and authority I have in taking care of my home.

So my August Goals are the following! But instead of saying they are my August Goals, this month I’m trying something new.

These are the areas where I’m taking authority in my life - big and small. I’ll report back and let you know how it changed or didn’t change the results!

August areas of Authority

• School Prep and Supplies for all the kids

• Playroom toys

• My car

• Front closet

• 2018 Photo Album

• Eating and Exercise [trying a 30 day intense workout at home program, as well as a no sugar, high protein diet. Sheesh! Lots of authority needed here!]

• Kids Clothes Cleanout and storage

What about you? Do you feel a difference when you say “I’m taking authority over ____” v. “I’m going to do ____"? Would love to know if you’ve tried it!

Also feel free to visit my IG Highlight called “Authority” if you want to follow along! I’ll be chiming in there all month long.
