How I shone this week: I could lie and say that this past week was better than the last, but honestly I am not sure that it was. My days have been going really fast and without a lot of awareness. Within each day, I am trying to make sure to do the things that matter the most for that day. I make sure to exercise, I make sure to work hard, I make sure to spend time with my kids and my husband, I read, etc. but when I put all the days together, I am not sure that they are adding up to the week I want to have. Or maybe they are and I am overthinking it. I don’t know to be honest. On Thursday this week, it poured here all day. It’s pretty atypical for that much and that kind of rain to go all day here. By early afternoon, I really didn’t want to go to the meeting at the kids’ school that I had said I would go to. But this was for Nathaniel and I feel he’s already getting the shorter end of the stick in general, so I went. I drove in the dark, in rain, in heavy traffic to get to the school early and of course in the end I was really really glad I went. I think that and the time I made sure to make for Jake this week were my shiniest moments of the week.
Things I wanted to get Done:
- Work: this was an emotionally tough week but not for me. well also for me, but not about me. we made some progress at work but not as much as I would have liked.
- Personal: exercised, scrapped, ate soso, a bunch of journaling around 2018
- Family: did Calc with David and Python and Math with Nathaniel. Went to SWI night and took photos!
I celebrate: getting a little extra social time this week.
I am grateful for: my kids’ school providing so much to them and to me.
I nourished myself by: spending extra time with friends and enjoying the company
Reflecting on my worries: I exercised. the eating issue still bothers me not even because i am eating badly, I am not eating that poorly. What bothers me has been the lack of nutrition. I did make plans for 2018 a bit so I feel better there. My energy seems to be waxing and waning. it will all be ok.
I let go of: trying to make everyone happy. i can’t do it.
Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
- bold: bold with doing what needs to be done lately.
- mindful: mindful that i am a lot more tired than i’ve been, i think it probably does have to do with food.
- nourish: i am trying to see what more nourishment I can add here, so that i feel more energized
- love: i love that my nephew is coming this week!
What made me laugh this week: my friends, a good week.
What I tolerated this week: emotionally taxing week trying to support my colleagues.
My mood this week was: hanging in there.
I forgive myself for: trying to just make it by.
What I love right now: that I am still exercising!
Here’s to a great week 47. So few weeks left in this year!!
