Weekly Reflection 2019 – 12

Magic I Saw this Week: I saw the magic that is my husband this week. And the magic of friendship. And the magic of support at work. The magic of people holding space for me, giving me advice to help support me, and just being present with me. I am very lucky.

Magic I Made this Week: I worked from home three days this week, hosted a tech challenge meeting, did daily yoga, sketched daily, and went to book club, had breakfast with a friend, spent nights helping my kids and snuggling with Jake. I made a lot of effort to do some self-care this week. Or at least to seriously slow down.

Magic of Me that I explored Week: I’ve been reading a lot, talking to trusted friends, taking advice, and thinking and learning.

Top Goals Review:  

• Work: almost done with perf + did not write either of the docs.
• Personal: did daily drawing, did not journal, did yoga, and no hike?
  
• Family:  did math with N once , cooked dinner once, worked with D once. did spend lots of time with love of my life.

I celebrate: going to book club and having breakfast with my friend and being at home so much this week.

I am grateful for: each of us trying our best. and loving each other so much.

This week, I exercised: i did yoga every day, twice on Tuesday and that was it for this week.

Self-care this week: working at home and doing art daily and all the yoga are a win for me right now, and time with friends was awesome.

I showed up for: David this week.

I said yes to: working at home, friend time.

I said no to:  extra work. late meetings.

Core Desired Feelings Check-in:

• Embrace: i am embracing the kindness of others.
• Alive: it felt really alive to spend some time with friends.
• Lighter: i feel lighter with my load at the moment.
• Kinder: i am not doing great here. work in progress.
• Surrender: reminding myself to surrender a bunch of times a day.

What I tolerated this week: rain was back 🙁 emotional parent week.

My mood this week was: pretty level, somewhat down.

I am proud of: my kids and my husband and how hard we all work to show up for each other.

I forgive myself for: feeling sad about Friday’s email.

Here’s what I learned this week: i am learning to focus on the learnings and growth, i am learning to lean into who I am and who others are, I am learning to be more self-aware.

What I love right now: i am really really loving drawing daily and coupling it with my love of reading.
