My Monday | Eat, Buy, Read, Try

Hello everyone!
Happy New Year!
This year I realized I struggle with focusing on where I currently am.
I like to focus on the future and this causes me to lose out on the present.
This is especially true for seasons.
When it's spring I am looking forward to summer
When it's summer I am looking forward to fall.
When it's fall I am looking forward to winter.
And so on.
To help me enjoy the present I started making a list for each season and focusing on what I could enjoy and accomplish in each one.

I drew inspiration from the kids gift list of Want, Need, Wear, Read. 
And came up with Eat, Buy, Read, Try.
Eat because I love to eat seasonally.
Buy to encourage me to buy something for myself.
Either something I need or just to treat myself. 
Read because I love to read books but rarely do.
Try to encourage me to try something new.
It could be a new hair style, a new work out routine, a new fashion anything that caught my eye. 
I looked at trends and styles I was loving and added them to my lists.
Here are the things that I came up with for 2018.

Spring
Eat: Radishes
Buy: Jean Jacket
Read: Girlboss
Try: Half up hair

Summer
Eat: Artichokes
Buy: Romper
Read: Where Did You Go, Bernadette?
Try: Fishtail Braids

Fall
Eat: Pumpkin Seeds
Buy: Reader Glasses
Read: Whiskey In A Teacup
Try: Bubble Bar

Winter
Eat: Pomegranates
Buy: Velvet Top
Read: The Nightingale
Try: Red Eyeshadow

I loved having these lists to help me focus on the present.
And since each season is roughly three months long completing four things each wasn't unrealistic.
I will be honest I did not complete everything on all of these lists but it did push me to try new things and help me to enjoy the current season.
I am excited to implement this into the new year and hope to cross off many more things.
What would be on your list for the start of 2019?

All my love,
Autumn
