Get It Together September

I've had a lot of barriers to being productive lately. I feel like I'm finally starting to leave the heavy fog of depression behind me and gaining some new perspective and breaking through the person I don't want to be, but these last five or six days have been filled with heavy anxiety (the kind that makes me feel like my body is a brick and my heart might literally beat out of my chest and it feels like I'm dying), a sinus infection, and the kind of exhaustion where my head is just fog. It's really discouraging to just barely start to feel like I can breathe a bit and then have my body and mind attack me again. I don't really know how to fix this, but I know I need to try to get through and not let my anxiety steal my life from me. It's very hard to find the balance between not letting my anxiety/depression rule me and knowing some days it will get the better of me and that's not cause to beat myself up. 

Last year, I started the tag "#GetItTogetherSeptember" which was basically me trying to make myself do the things I had continually been putting on the back burner and getting my shit together. I believe I was pretty unsuccessful. Even so, I'm doing it again this year. Hopefully a blog of my goals will help me to get them accomplished. I've said this before, but I think there's a lot of power in sharing your goals with others. 

September Goals:

• Go to the doctor
• Get all my crowdfund perks done and sent out
• Make at least three YouTube videos
• Do a Fangorn Fables blog
• Walk (or hike) for at least half an hour four times per week
• Go on at least one adventure
• Make a budget for the month and stick to it
• Do at least one social thing per week 
• Apply to at least two jobs per week
• Write in my journal every day
• Read at least one chapter of a book every day
• Finish at least five books
• Clean/organize my room
• Draw one thing every day
• Answer my friend surveys

I would love to hear some goals that you guys have this month, and it would be my favorite if you use my hashtag. Here's to a good September and being our best selves every day!
