Fall Baddie Refresh

Hey STEM Baddie 💅🚀 It's been a while! 🥵 Things have been crazy over here with work picking up, conferences, travel, and me being obsessed with my new gym. Also, my mom is visiting from Michigan at the moment and it is wonderful having her here. I hope you all are having a great baddie summer as well full of fun, friends, and family 🥰

Me & my mom hanging out at her friend's lake house before I head to my friend's wedding in Harrison, Michigan.

But as summer nears its end (Fall for me starts in September, it just feels right), we should take the time to remember our goals we set out for ourselves at the beginning of the year 📝 It's so easy to be a little lazier and have more fun during the summer 🏖️ (as we should!) but it's important to keep our promises to ourselves and keep working on becoming our best baddie selves 💁‍♀️

1. Reassess Your Goals

   Take a look at any goals you set earlier in the year- are they still relevant? Do they still excite you? Are they attainable? Do you have any new goals to add or old goals to cross out?

2. Make it Happen

   Now let's flesh out how we can accomplish these goals before the end of the year. There's four months until 2026, let's use as much of that time as we can to work towards our goals. Write out what you will do on a monthly, weekly, and daily basis to inch towards accomplishing all that we previously wrote down 💪

3. Hype Yourself Up

   You got this! You are awesome. You are capable. You are intelligent. You are loved. You are respected. Tell yourself these affirmations along with your own either out loud in front of a mirror or whispering quietly to empower yourself to accomplish these goals. It may seem silly and unimportant, but it really works to rewire your brain to believe good things about yourself.

4. Go Out & Be Awesome

   I think we are ready now! We've figured out where we are currently, made a plan for the last few months of the year, and assured ourselves that we CAN do it. Let's put on our favorite outfit, spray our favorite perfume, buy a pumpkin-vanilla candle, and go out and make it happen.

   
   

   I know I have a few goals that I had to reassess this year and move them down in priority- including learning and practicing Spanish. Other goals have moved up in priority including my health and wellness and giving back to you baddies. I love Fall and am excited to go to pumpkin patches and make more soups and get back into baking. The leaves sadly don't change color here in California, but the weather does feel more crisp in the Fall.

   
   

   🌸 What are some of YOUR goals you are going to accomplish by the end of the year? What are you looking forward to this fall? (:

   Take care, baddies!!
