Weekly Intention: Ok this is going to be an intense week of work and then I expect to be working late into the night much of the week and then on Friday I will be driving to Tahoe for the weekend for a school event I purchased last year. David will be camping the middle of the week. So we got a lot going on. And when we come back from Tahoe I will enter a very very tough week. So my intention this week is a few things: be the kindest I can be, I know that when I am tired I can be snappy or even less compassionate towards me and others. So I will work on this. Kind to everyone. Secondly, I want to be able to protect my sleep and exercise because i will get very little sleep the following week and possibly no exercise. And finally, i want to try to savor the moments as much as i can. these are all incredible opportunities for me to be a part of and I am super lucky. So I don’t want to take that for granted.
This month’s intention is: Love Strong: This month is hard. There are transitions, new schedules and more. Use this month to think about what it would look like to love more. Love yourself more: more self-care and kindness. What boundaries can help you? Love Jake more: what’s something you can do for the two of you? Love your kids more: How can you help them with the transition? well there you go, this week i will focus on kindness and seeing everyone’s perspective, finding a way to love everyone.
One way I will stretch this week: i will see if i can cook a bit and preserve my exercise routine, let’s see.
One boundary I will set this week: sleep i think that’s the one I need the most.
This week, I will focus on pleasing: hmmm. i think everyone a little bit. would that work? at least give everyone my full attention while i am with them.
One new thing I will learn this week: how to iterate more effectively
One area where I will go deeper this week: how to understand perspectives different than mine
What do I need to sit with this week? how to go the distance here. i have a lot of other deadlines after this october one.
I am looking forward to: our tahoe adventure even if it comes at a bad time.
This week’s challenges: sleep. peace.
Top Goals:
- Work: october is going to have to be it this week.
- Personal: i’m just going to do the best i can this week.
- Family: just be as present as i can in tahoe
I will focus on my values:
- Love: love and care and grace for everyone on my path this week.
- Learn: how to listen more, better.
- Peace: peace with this week.
- Service: to my organization, to my family.
- Gratitude: for things coming together, even if last minute.
This week, I want to remember: that it always works out
