Good morning, friends! I hope your Friday is off to a fantastic start!

The first Friday of November. I can’t believe how close the holidays are now. I just got my free red cup from Starbucks yesterday morning and they are in full swing holiday-drink mode.

It made me realize that whether I’m ready for this time of year or not, it’s here! While it’s such a magical, special time, it’s just hard to believe how close we are to another year!

I’ve been working hard on a blog post that’s going to walk you through how to make 2020 your best year yet. Not a fluff piece, a very thorough, detailed blog post. I’m very excited about it, and truly hope that you will enjoy it! Let me know what you’d like to see in that post, or anything else that you’d really like to see here on the blog!

 

1. Free Reusable Cup from Starbucks

 

Did you get your free cup yesterday? I got up extra early to be sure I could get to my Starbucks as soon as possible. Last year, they ran out by the time I made it there in the afternoon. It’s such a cute cup!

My first holiday drink of the season was a Toasted White Chocolate Mocha. What’s your holiday favorite from Starbucks?

 

2. All Things Positive

 

Do you ever just get wrapped up in all of the fun, positive quotes that you see on Pinterest or Instagram? I have found myself scrolling through a lot of those lately. While it isn’t just enough to read them because you need to actually apply what those quotes are talking about, it is so uplifting to see the difference when you start changing your mindset.

Our brains are hardwired to be negative sadly (our brain thinks this keeps us safe), but that doesn’t mean that we can’t work on our mindset and change it for the better.

 

3. Christmas Movies

 

Okay, this is all too soon, I know! I’m usually the person who wait for anything-Christmas until after Thanksgiving (except for Starbucks drinks!), but this year I’ve found myself wanting to watch more Christmas movies early.

I think I’m craving more of the happy, predictable movies! I’ve really been trying to stay away from any of the sad stuff. Sometimes movies or tv shows can make you feel just as depressed as their characters.

 

4. Election Day

 

Not getting political here, but just wanted to mention that I voted on Tuesday. I hope you did, too! 🙂

 

5. Brain Dump

 

How many of you do a brain dump now and then? I find them so helpful, especially this week! Sometimes we get so much swirling in our minds, it’s hard to focus.

By writing out all of the thoughts on paper, it’s like a release for your mind. Plus, you can start to think more clearly about each thought instead of just being overwhelmed by everything at once.
