I just got back from Sydney. I am writing this before I am back on the routine so I will be honest. Hopefully by Wednesday things will be more back to nourishment. Mind:

Here’s to getting back on track.
Nourish Me Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here. Weekly Intention: This week has a lot of work trips. Three of the five days, I will be going to work. I need to come up with a plan for journaling and exercise to ensure that I don’t stay off the schedule now that I am back in town. I also need to make sure to get some extra rest to make up for the jet lag I feel. I have one week of full, crazy work and then next week is Winter Break which will be a mix of work and vacation so I really need to use this week to get back into my routine or it will just be easy to completely fall off. My plan is to get a bunch of work done and then to sit with my kids and be intentional about how we plan to spend our time this year. This month’s intention is: Shine from the Outside In: It might seem counter-intuitive but sometimes it helps to start with the outside. Take care of your body, your skin, your teeth. Dress in a way that makes you feel good. Show up and look the part. I haven’t been focusing on this at all. I would love to buy some clothes but honestly I don’t have the energy at the moment so I’d like to think smaller maybe. Like makeup I can buy/wear. Maybe that can be my focus this week. Ways to Shine this week:
I am looking forward to: seeing a lot of friends tomorrow. This week’s challenges: jet lag. a lot of trips to work and late nights. Top Goals:
I will focus on my core desires (bold, mindful, nourish, love) by: trying to back to some sort of routine this week. even if just for a week. This week, I will say yes to: asking the hard/uncomfortable questions. This week, I will say no to: anything but being me. i am going to show up as me. do my best and be present. I am worried that: work won’t get done. i will continue to be exhausted and jet lagged. lunch will not be worth it. movies will feel disastrous. i will never catch up at work. i won’t exercise. i won’t journal. i won’t book LA or what I want for spring break. i will be impatient with my kids. This week, I want to remember: that it’s ok to take things one at a time. that it will all work out because things always do eventually. Three ways I shone this week:
I celebrate: being back home with my boys. missed them so. I let go of: having my regular routine when there. Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
What made me laugh this week: i laughed a lot at work this week. Here’s to a wonderful week seven! I started my week with Lilian Boxfish Takes a Walk. Which is definitely my favorite read of 2017 so far. I know it hasn’t been so long but still… it’s totally delightful. I can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you’ve lived in NYC. I wanted to read Lab Girl because it’s been on my list for months but while I liked bits of it, i had a hard time getting through it. I found myself skipping around. I had the Achievement Habit on hold at the library and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read it. I feel like I already do a lot so I wasn’t sure if I need more “achievement” in my life. But I was totally wrong and I am so incredibly glad I read it. It’s by the co-creator of the Design Thinking class in Stanford and it’s full of wonderful, tangible pieces of advice and practices for self improvement. I will have to reread this one. After I finished Achievement Habit, I grabbed Losing It from my library pile. Not sure what made me originally put this book on hold but i was on the airplane and didn’t want to overthink it. In the end it was meh. Not super mad I read it, but my life is not all that better because I read it either. I also dabbled in both of the George and the Key to the Universe (and George and the Big Bang) books this week to see if we wanted to pick them for Lit Club. We decided we likely would not. Not as much as usual, but it’s been a busy week. Books I Read this Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here. Ok I am writing this before I am in Sydney so it might actually end up a bit different. But I will write both what I did and what I plan. Mind:

Here’s to getting better one day at a time.
