- Three Choices I made this week:
- One: I chose to go to work twice this week too and it was very much worth it. Apparently I am going twice again next week.
- Two: I chose to let go and just be present with my family and inlaws and this vacation.
- Three: I chose to help make things move forward at work even though I was on vacation because I knew they were important.
- I read/learned: I finished All the Birds in the Sky and The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend and Brave Enough and Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of a Fist this week! I am now listening to Be Frank with Me and reading When Breath Becomes Air.
- I celebrate: I celebrate a lovely combination of working, resting and lots of little adventures this week. So grateful.
- I am grateful for: California. I am so grateful to live here. For incredible nature, beautiful weather. So grateful.
- I focused on my health by:
- Walked 10K steps every day
- No Diet Coke or lattes still!
- But I have been sliding on the food and I would like to go back to focusing on it.
- I made art: I haven’t been doing art this week but I hope to do some this weekend. I also hope to figure out my April plan.
- I let go of: I let go of alone time and personal agenda this week so I could be present.
- Core Desire Check-in:
- Kind: I was kind to my inlaws and husband this week. And to people at work.
- Strong: I was strong with my patience this week, I am proud of myself.
- True: I stayed true to my values. I remembered what matters most and not in retrospect but in realtime.
- Generous: I’ve been generous with time this week both with work and my kids and my inlaws.
- Brave: I went hiking, driving, and just showed up when it was hard to. I’m proud of myself.
- Here are some photos from this week:
Weekly Reflection is a year-long project for 2016. You can read more about my projects for 2016 here.
Looks and sounds like one of those weeks that was really terrific and you’re glad it was only seven days! I just finished a non-fiction book titled Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. I’m in health care, have aging parents and feel we do a poor job with helping people navigate end of life. I really enjoyed the conversation of this book. It’s a fairly quick read. Hope you have a restful, re-energizing week.
