How I got Stronger this week: Still doing Body Pump daily. This week was extra tough with the time change because my 6am workout became a 5am workout. It took me until Thursday to get used to the time change. I made a lot of effort at work to spend more time during the day working so that I didn’t carry over work to the weekend. I still have work but at least it’s not email. I spent a lot of excess energy on buying a new car and my taxes this week which was showing up to the bits of my life. I spent a lot of time with Nathaniel and math and David and physics this week so I feel happy about that, too.
Top Goals Review: had more 1-1s, planning a small amount but likely not enough, body pumping, did olw march, but i made no plans for food at all, that needs attention, tried to spend more time with boys.
I celebrate: I celebrate hopefully getting a new car this week.
I am grateful for: finally making some summer plans. i feel like maybe things are getting a bit clearer.
Karen’s Points: doing the body pump. doing nothing else.
A Change I embraced: i’ve been feeling off for the last few weeks. More anxious and more down than usual. I’ve been trying to embrace it and remember that it’s likely temporary. It will not be my new norm.
I let go of: having all the answers. things are going to take a while.
Core Desired Feelings Check-in:
- Fresh: does a new car count?
- Magical: this week’s magical moment was doing math with nathaniel and physics with david. i love watching my boys in action.
- Lighter: am changing our vacation plans a bit and it’s making me feel much lighter.
- True: honoring my needs by trying to not attend evening meetings as much as possible.
Where I chose Joy: i chose joy by buying a lot of flowers. they never fail to make me happy.
I showed up for: david and nathaniel with work this week.
A Mistake I made this week: i’ve been meeting a lot of new people and making a lot of new impressions, some go more smoothly than others.
What I tolerated this week: the low level of anxiety still. also had a lot of trouble picking books this week for some reason.
My mood this week was: i’ve been feeling a bit disconnected and out of it. Trying to make sure I acknowledge it without making a big deal of it.
I forgive myself for: how i’ve been feeling. it will get better.
What I love right now: i love the quiet saturday mornings when i sit and work as my kids climb.
