Living Intentionally 2017 – 23

Weekly Intention: This is the first week of summer for Nathaniel. I am still feeling sick and have a full day tomorrow with two client calls, 5 meetings, and a 6-hour trip to David’s school at night. Then I move to an all-day meeting at the school on Tuesday (and then a late meeting at work), a full-day at work Wednesday and then quieter day on Thursday. Friday’s David’s last day which means a half-day party. The weekend comes with a birthday party and a bat-mitzvah. And this is my last weekend in town before I am gone for three weeks. Phew. just writing all that down made me tired. So the intention for this week is going to have to be to be graceful. To be slow. To own my own story. To be intentional. To show up. To notice and appreciate the fulness of my life.

Things I want to get Done: Here’s the list for his week.

  • Work: still more documentation (unplanned, wrong), planning, followups, data collection.
  • Work: more meetings for planning.
  • Work: follow up with last week’s class.
  • Work: start organizing for fall work.
  • Personal: Exercise twice this week. [almost don’t want to put this here]
  • Personal: journal three times this week.
  • Personal: do two pieces of art.
  • Personal: A vegetable+protein with every meal.
  • Family: Family photos.
  • Family: Go to David’s culmination.
  • School: Spend Tuesday at school. 

This month’s intention is:  June: Shine Through: Let yourself be seen this month. Express yourself. Be true to you. Own who you are. This is fantastically timed. I am all about being true to me at this moment.

Ways to Shine this week:

  • One: Bold: Tuesday is when I want to be bold this week.
  • Two: Open: Open to feedback this Thursday.
  • Three: Heal/Nourish: I want to rest more so I can feel better. 

I am looking forward to: David also being done with school.

This week’s challenges: The first three days of this week promise to be stressful. 

Top Goals:

  • Work: making a plan. understanding how to frame.
  • Personal: resting and getting better.
  • Family: a summer plan.

I will focus on my core desires (bold, mindful, nourish, love) by: working on defining what these mean to me in all the dimensions of my life.

This week, I will say yes to: showing up. even when i am tired. even when it’s hard.

This week, I will say no to: giving up.

I am worried that:  the feedback will be that it’s still not ok. david’s culmination will go badly. tuesday will be a disaster. friday i will be exhausted. i will still be really sick. 

This week, I want to remember:  that journaling really helps.
