Introduction:
I’m excited to set my intentions and focus on what matters most this month. Here’s what I hope to accomplish and how I plan to make the most of these 28 days.
Personal Goals:
- Health and Wellness:
- Focus on improving my sleep schedule
- Cook healthier meals and reduce fast food consumption
- Add a short daily stretching routine or nature walks to my schedule
- Mental Health:
- Dedicate my day off to activities that help me recharge—journaling, long baths, or creative projects like choosing house finishes.
Family & Relationships:
- Plan one small but meaningful outing or activity with the kids to combat the winter blues.
- Find time for a cozy date night with Jānis.
Gardening:
- Plan the whole process 🙂 What vegetables and herbs I’ll grow this year.
- Divide what goes into the greenhouse, furrows, and raised beds.
- Work on raised beds, February is too early to install them, but I can plan :).
- Check the collection of seeds I already have and test the germenation rate.
- Seed: tomatoes, paprika, leeks and winter sowing ones.
Fun and Creativity:
- Share my thoughts and photos more frequently on Instagram in my native Latvian language to connect with local thinkalikes 🙂
Renovation:
- Not sure what to plan there.. it’s so unpredictable.
That’s about it, let’s see if I can keep up with the plan 🙂

You can do it!!!! 🥰
Thank you 🙂 I hope so!
That’s a lot to do, Ilze, I hope you get it all done. Instagram banned me twice now for speaking my mind on things. This is called Censorship. I am DONE with IG. Have a great weekend!
Yeah, there’s always so much to do, but I’ll get there step by step! That sounds really frustrating about IG—sorry you had to deal with that. Wishing you a great weekend too!
Sounds like a bit much on your plate! One sleep idea is to lie down 30-45 minutes before sleep time. The room needs to be dark and quiet. I give myself a good slathering of lotion and use an essential oil roller ball on my neck, chest, and temples.Most nights I use a cuticle softener and then time to rest or meditate. I’ve used the routine for a couple of years and I sleep good now. It’s all about having time for your brain to download before bedtime.
It definitely feels like a lot sometimes! Your bedtime routine sounds so calming—I love the idea of giving the brain time to wind down. I might try adding some essential oils to my routine. Thanks for sharing!
🙂 I don’t have to take sleeping pills anymore.
That is good!!!
Maybe add in some “Me-time”? you don’t want to exhaust yourself!
You’re so right! I’m trying to find that balance—easier said than done, but I’m working on it!
I hope you have fun achieving all your goals!
Thank you! I’m taking it one step at a time and hoping for the best!
Wow, don’t forget to sleep.
… I hope I don’t! But that is a hard topic!
Hoping you manage it
Oh, at least I have a plan! I don’t intend to go back and check what I wrote—I just want to see how it all unfolds naturally. 😊 This blog is all about having fun and doing what I want to do, not what I have to do! Do you have plans for February?
I have the next round of my BCG vaccine instillations – otherwise I take each day as it comes
I hope the process is going smoothly for you. Taking each day as it comes is a solid approach. Do you have anything comforting or distracting planned to make it easier?
It is really not too bad
Great content!
Not sure if this was meant for me, but thanks… I guess?
oh it was lol!
