February 2022 Monthly Blog Review
Hi, friends and secret friends who read my blog (I see you). So, we’ve made it another month, which means it’s time for another monthly blog review.
Last month, I talked about my struggles with depression and anxiety. I opened up about some things happening and how I planned to change that this month. For example, I implemented a daily morning yoga and self-care routine before work and started writing in my diary every night before bed.
It may not seem like a lot, but it is. In January, I barely found the physical or mental strength to care for myself. So I’d say this is a considerable improvement from last month. Of course, I’m still working on easing my way into a self-care routine that sticks through the tough times, but I’m happy to have made some progress.
I experienced a slight dip in blog stats, but that happens when you take time off for yourself. So, let’s look at this month’s monthly blog review.

February 2022 Monthly Blog Review
While my mental state has improved, I’m experiencing nothing regarding the blog. It’s pretty stagnant for the most part, except for my dip in views. Honestly, I don’t know what to make of this. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Should I be worried? I mean, it’s not like it’s serious, but I do wonder why I’m not going up anymore.

Celebrating Monthly Wins
I want to start a new segment of my monthly blog review posts where I share my wins for the month, no matter how big or small. Celebrating small successes helps your brain feel accomplishment and pride in its work. It also makes you feel good and motivates you to keep going through life’s daily challenges.
Here are some of my small wins for February
- Officially start training for life-coach certification.
- I’ve been consistent with daily reflection and yoga the entire month
- I didn’t experience a mental health breakdown
- I received new sponsorship and paid opportunities on the blog
- I found a self-care routine that works for me.
What To Expect In March
March is Women’s History Month, and to commemorate, I am dedicating the month to all things female, primarily health and wellness. While many articles surround the overall topic of women’s health, I still feel a sense of responsibility to contribute to this information and better information to the next generation of women on how to care for themselves.
I have posted about menstruation, general women’s health, affirmation, and more scheduled for the next month. You can also see my social media activity reflects these topics.
I’ll also try out some new formats on the blog for speed purposes, so please let me know if anything does not load correctly.
Did you achieve your monthly goals? Let me know in the comments.
Check out the March 2022 monthly blog review to see if I accomplished these goals!

Thanks Corinne!
Congratulations 🎊 on your success. I am so excited for women month and to celebrate international womens day. I love celebrating this holiday.
Hi, I do too!
I wouldn’t worry too much about blog stuff being a bit stagnant; it happens from time-to-time (this happens to me when my mental health is taking a bit of a hit and I’m not as consistent or motivated with my blogging). It’s great to hear you’ve implemented some things to help you improve how you’re feeling; you’re doing the right thing by the sounds of it. Sending you all the god vibes you need!
I agree Molly. I’m focusing on getting my mental health back on track. Thanks for the good vibes and good luck this month.
I used to do a monthly blog review in my bullet journal but I stopped – not sure why! I think it is a great idea! It looks like you had a good month, the popular blog posts sound great! The content you have for March sounds really interesting. I look forward to reading those posts. Thank you for sharing.

Lauren, Thanks for reading. I never considered adding this as a section in my bullet journal. That’s a great ideas.
Some good wins for you there. Yoga is a lovely way to start the day.
Yoga is the best way to start any day.
I LOVE that you do a review like this! I think I will start this practice too. Thank you for the inspiration x
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much! I feel like these reviews hep me to stay grounded. I cannot wait to see your version.
I think you are making some very healthy choices and moves to benefit your personal life. OK, so this may not always reflect in your blog stats, but looking after what is good for you now, will definitely pay some great dividends for you in the future. Then your blog will be a lot easier for you to work on. All the best to you.
Thanks for the lovely insight Nicole. I never thought of it this way.
Congrats on some amazing wins for February! I am so proud of you reaching your goals, and I know you will continue! Being a life coach definitely sounds like something you’ll be great at. I can see you being very successful there too, and I can’t wait to celebrate more wins with you!
Awe thank you Erica!
I like how you are so transparent about your blog stats. As a new blogger, I appreciate you sharing those. Looks like March will be a good month for you personally and professionally!
Thanks Fern!
I think I should pay more attention to my stats as well, it is important to review and study everything happens on my blog
I agree! Ever since I started these reviews, my stats have improved greatly.
It sounds like February brought a lot of great changes! So happy you started your life coaching course and that you implemented your yoga practice, hope this month will bring you even more x
Thanks Cristina!
