MARCH RESET (I'm moving, new goals, and juggling life)

Hannah Ashton15:56

Transcription

Today we are going to be resetting our lives for March, which means we're going to go over all the goals we set in February, setting new goals for March, and of course, I'll be including my content corner. I've been watching a lot of fun TV shows. Very excited to talk all things TV and books at the end of this video. But let's go ahead and get started.

Okay, I love reflecting on the previous month and then using what I learned or like experiences that I had in the previous month to fuel intentions that I'm setting for the next month. And so, if you guys don't know, I use my daily planner. We still have some of these in stock in this pearl color, which I think is like one of my favorites. And so, this is a daily planner, but there's also pages for every month where you can write your monthly reflection. So, I always like to think back on like core memories, what wins I had, what didn't work, what I can improve for the next month.

And so, thinking back to February, I feel like this month flew by. January always feels so long. February flew by. Um, the best thing about this month is that I was able to go to Disney World with my family, which was a really fun time. Disney blog is coming very soon, if it's not up before this. Um, and that was a really great time. And then also core memories is signing a lease for Charleston. So I know that's a question you guys have been having for me for a little bit. And my last reset video I filmed when I was in Charleston doing my extended stay pretty quickly after I finished my extended stay in Charleston, I signed a lease. So I will be moving at some point in March. So that will be a very big goal for March. But don't have an exact date yet because I have so many travels and things and work trips and stuff that I need to like wrap up. But that was a core memory for sure. Um, also just highs and lows of real estate. I was finishing up my last deal here in Tennessee and just had some crazy things happen this whole month. It was like never an easy route. But that's okay. I've learned to be appreciative of those challenges because I think they really do make you like a better person. And for the plot, you know, it's all for the plot.

Wins. I feel like I spent a lot of great quality time with my family. I'm going to miss them so much when I move. Um, living with them the past sevenish months has been really sweet and especially like getting to go to Disney World. We grew up going to Disney, just the four of us, um, along with like some extended family, but this trip it was just the four of us and it was so like nostalgic to be there with my family. So, that was great. Um, signing a lease and also just juggling multiple things in my life has been a win. You know, I was juggling a lot of different things in February and I somehow I think held it together for most of it.

To improve next month. I'll see this when I go over my goals, but I had more goals for hobbies and like it slowing down and it was just a very busy month for me. So, I want to once I get settled in Charleston, like March is going to be extremely busy, but once I'm settled, so maybe more like April is when I'll hopefully be able to get back into like my needle pointing, my water coloring, and just like having a Sunday where I'm not like rushing around trying to get things done for the next week would be so nice.

Okay, for my life balance scale, rating myself one to five in these areas of my life. For work, I'm giving myself a five out of five cuz I got through this big deal, which was so exciting. Personal, I'm giving myself a four because I made some actually, you know what, a five because I made some big personal strides like signing a lease in Charleston. Wellness though, we're going down to a two. Um, even right now, I'm a little congested. I don't feel 100%. And I just feel like besides walking 20,000 steps at Disney, I did not hit my step goal every day this month. And I just am excited to get back into my health and wellness again once I'm a little more settled. Social, I'm giving myself a two. Spent a lot of time with family. Not a ton with friends, but that's okay cuz March is going to be, I think, a very social month. Finances and hobbies, we're just kind of mid. I'm giving myself a three. Nothing crazy, nothing out of the ordinary. So, we're just mid-range. However, like I said, I do want to have more time for hobbies like reading, painting, sports, golf, all that fun stuff this spring. But February, again, I don't know where the time went. Like, it was insane. It just flew by.

Okay, so now that we're done with reflection, let's jump into goals. So, goals that I set for February and did I achieve them or not. My first goal was work life balance. And even though February was a really busy month, and I feel like I I'm glad that I still like took a little bit of time off here and there for Disney. I was still working on that trip, answering emails while in line, answering texts, whatever. But I'm glad that I took some time and I feel like I would give myself a half check for this. I feel like I didn't have complete work life balance. There was a lot of times, a lot of weekends that I didn't want to be working that I felt like I was. But overall, [snorts] we're getting there. It's all a work in progress.

I'm mad at myself for not doing this one yet. Starting my taxes again. Where did this month go? I thought I had like an extra week. I know it's a short month, but just it it got to the end of the month and I'm like, "No, I did not look at my taxes yet." So, that will be a big goal for March. Just you wait.

I wanted to hit 20,000 followers on TikTok. I kind of slacked on my TikTok a little bit this month, but I did get more YouTube videos up. So, you know, take your little wins there. So, we did not hit that one. I did not finish needle point and watercolor projects. I did not read three books. I started three books. I did not read them. However, I did make my income goal for the month. I set a pretty high income goal with the closing of this real estate deal and other income that I've been my promotion at my at be amazing and all the things like I'll be hitting my income goal in February. So very proud of that. But as you saw a lot of other goals didn't get accomplished this month. Honestly, that's okay. I got the big things done that I know I needed. Lease signed, real estate closed, Disney trip done. That's what was important to me.

But now let's look to March and um goals that I'm setting for this last month of quarter 1. That's crazy. That is crazy. 2026 is flying by. But I basically have three big goals for this month. And if these things, three things get done, Hannah, you did a good job. Okay, first one, taxes. Need to get that ready for my accountant. Two, moving. Huge goal. There's a lot of little goals that have to align for this to happen. Um, and it's going to happen. So, very excited to move to Charleston. I'm so excited for the moving diaries that'll be happening later this month. Um, and just starting life like in a new city, meeting new people, new routines, living near the beach. Cannot wait for the content. And so, yeah, that's a big one. And then I am taking a work trip to LA actually kind of last minute, but early this month I'm going over to LA and I'm putting together some things and events and I just want them to work out. And so I just put work successes like I want to have these successes with my work.

For many goals. I want to I'm carrying over the goal of 20 hitting 20,000 followers on TikTok. I just need to post more this month than I did in February. I want to finish three books. We're carrying over that goal again. And that's the great thing about goal setting, guys. If you set a goal for yourself in January, you didn't hit it then, you didn't hit it in February, maybe tweak the goal a little bit to make it more realistic or to figure out like what you need to adjust in your habits or in your life to hit that goal. But set it again for March. Like just keep pushing yourself. It's not a bad goal. You're not a bad person for not hitting a goal. It's all just about timing and little adjustments to eventually unlock that goal.

Okay. And then my next one is to get back on my daily steps of walking 10,000 steps a day. I feel like March is for me the start of spring, especially living more in the south. We sometimes we'll get like a cold front, but usually the weather's getting nicer. Usually the flowers are starting to bloom and it just feels like a new beginning is coming. And for me moving this month as well, it feels like a very new beginning season, like a fresh start. I'm closing the chapter on real estate just for a short period of time, just for now. Getting to focus on other jobs and things that I love doing. Getting to focus on my content, on getting into a new place, getting settled, like it just feels like a very new beginnings type of month. And so I'm excited to bring you guys along.

Okay, so those were my reflections, my goal settings. Let me know a goal that you guys are trying to achieve in March. Um, I love reading through what you guys are working on.

Okay, then welcome to the last segment of this video. We're back cozy in my bedroom for the content corner. So, I did not finish very many books in February. I only finished one, but I will be talking about the other books that I'm currently reading that I will be finishing very soon. I'm actually going on a book retreat tomorrow. Um, I did a vlog 2 years ago on this like book retreat, but basically me and my friends go to a house on the beach, which is so nice. We go there for a few days and most of the time I of course you guys know me, I will still be working cuz I never stop working. Um, so I work remote, so that it allows me to still work and, you know, take so many trips. But most of these girls take time off work and just read the whole trip, which is awesome. But it definitely inspires me to read more cuz I am not the type of girl that like reads in the middle of the day normally, but I do cuz it's a book retreat.

Before we get into my reads, shows that I'm watching. I am watching Traitors, but not the newest season. I started season I think three with my family cuz we were just trying to dip our toes in. And Boston Rob is on that season, and we love him, of course. We're a big Survivor family. So, watching Boston Rob I think got my family in the show Traitors. I love Dylan Efron from Dancing with the Stars and on Traitors, he's just as amazing. So, we are loving season 3 of Traitors and then I will probably watch season 4 after and then season 50 of Survivor just started last night. Fantastic first episode. There's so much nostalgia with these old players. Like, I'm loving it. I hope it's a good season. Very excited for it. I also I just cannot believe it's March already. Holy cow.

What other shows? Bridgerton. So, started the first half of Bridgerton. I know. I think the second half of Bridgerton literally comes out tomorrow or tonight, but I'm going to be watching it this weekend with my friends. And I'm loving the season. The first half actually was better than I expected. Um, we'll see if the second half can keep up. But just the scene where she sees him through the door with Enchanted playing in the background is such a beautiful scene. I loved I think it was my favorite scene of the whole season so far and just like their time at the cottage together is so cute. Like I Benedict has not been my favorite Bridgerton brother. I actually liked Anthony obviously the most. Colin I liked before his season actually happened and then what's funny is his own season made me not like him as much. Benedict was kind of just been like, "Oh, I he's fun." Like, he's not my type, but he's like fun guy, but and I think he's doing a really good job with this season. But I love the main girl for who plays Sophie. I think she's doing a fabulous job. And I can't wait for the second half. Like, I need these Bridgerton seasons though to be more than eight episodes. Like, why are they eight episodes long? That's so short. So, I'll probably rewatch it once I finish it. I'll just restart it again. Oh, okay.

For books, the only book that I finished, and I'm saying I finished this even though I got to this point in the book, like almost there. And guys, I could just I have like 50 pages, maybe less than 50 pages left, and I could not finish this book, but I'm counting it as done because I've read the rest of the series. The series is Assistant to the Villain. The first and second books I really love. The first book I may have given like four something stars towards the end of last year. The second book was okay. This third book Accomplice to the Villain. It's just not good. Like each book has followed the same plot. I got so bored with this one. The first book super cute YA fantasy. Um, it's kind of like a workplace romance but in a fantasy land and so love that. This third book though in the series just you don't need to read it. It's not worth worth it in my opinion.

I've been the problem with why I didn't finish very many books in February is cuz I started a ton and I've just been like reading halfway through them. I need to finish some but I will be like finishing a lot at once probably. This is The Violet Hour. I picked I got this for Christmas because it's about Sullivan's Island and Charleston, literally where I'm moving. And my mom read this as well. She loved it. I'm halfway through. And it is it is a good like southern fiction book. Right now, I'm rating it like three and a half stars. I'll see I still have halfway to go, so maybe it'll work up to a four star. But it's a really great book, especially if you know the Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island area. They mention a lot of places there. So, I think that's why I'm enjoying it so much. It's getting me excited for my move.

I am very early on, as you can see, into Kali Hart's Brimstone. This is the second book it um to Quicksilver. Loved Quicksilver. One of my five star reads, favorite reads of 2025. This one um I really just haven't like had the time to sit down and read it, but I am hoping to on my book retreat. And then one book I found from TikTok is called From Tormented Tides. I think she's a new author and she was like promoting her book on TikTok and she talked about it being like Pirates of the Caribbean vibes and I love like I think I've decided Pirates of the Caribbean is like my favorite movie. [laughter] Just the trilogy I think is like one of my favorite movies ever. The music like I just love it. I think I think that's it. We went to the Pirates of the Caribbean bar like um in Magic Kingdom, the new bar, Beacon Barrel, and it was a blast. You'll see it in the vlog. But anyway, she was saying this book is those vibes. It's not yet. It's a good book. It's kind of more like a mystery thriller rather than a fantasy book. They are like ghost pirates and everything, but it's there's not a ton of romance that I or like the romance is not very good, I will say, in it. Maybe I'm only halfway through, so maybe it'll pick back up. But it's a good beachy vibe book for me to read when I go to the beach on this book retreat. And then I want to read a few other books on my list.

A non-fiction book that I'm listening to as an audio book is Brené Brown's Dare to Lead. I started this book because I was taking on a little bit more of a management position at my job, which is exciting. But with that comes some responsibility and I was like, I need to like, you know, work on my leadership skills. I am enjoying this book so far. I would rate it like a three and a half. I think it's a book like I would need to also get the physical book to like pick up every little thing. But listening to it, I've learned some good stuff. Um, but yeah, if you're looking for like a management leadership book, it is good. I'm renting it through my library on Libby and that I 100% will be counting that book once I'm finished listening to it.

But all right, that is going to bring us to the end of this reset video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I love sitting down and just chatting and yapping about my life and content that I'm watching and reading and it's just so fun and feels so personable. So, I hope you guys get those same vibes in this video. What's crazy is most likely my April reset video I will be filming in my new apartment. It's kind of an apartment. I don't know what you would call it. It's kind of a condo, kind of a duplex. I don't like the word duplex, but maybe that's more what it is. I'm really excited to decorate it and for you guys to see it. And again, just lots of fun content coming. Make sure you're following me on Instagram and TikTok cuz you'll get more frequent up to-date updates there. But yay, I can't wait. I'm so excited and I love you all so so much. I will see you in my next video. Bye. [music] >> [music]
