Living Intentionally – 35

  • Weekly Intention: My intention this week is similar to last week. David officially starts school this week and I have no idea how the routine will go so I want to be patient with myself and him while we both learn to navigate this new world. I also have a lot of work trips this week so I want to make sure to balance it all as well as I can.
  • Choices I want to make:
    • One: I will choose to focus on work while at work and focus on my kids while i am home.
    • Two:  I will choose to keep exercising. I can do this.
    • Three: I will choose to go to bed early so i can get rest and my body can recover.
  • I am looking forward to: hearing all about David’s first week of middle school!!
  • This week’s challenges:  As I mentioned, we will be getting our new routine this week. Dropping both kids off at different buses, picking one up from school and the other one from his bus. This will take a while to get into routine form. I expect it will be rough this week. I also have to go to work three days this week so there won’t be much downtime I think.
  • Top Goals:
    • Work: My intention this week is to stay on top of all the teams and figure out the next phase in their tasks.
    • Personal: I’ve noticed that I tend to use my end of day winddown as a way to do nothing and then go to bed late. I want to work on this and get to bed no later than 9:30 on nights when I don’t have meetings. This increases my chances of an 8-hour sleep night.
    • Family: I want to focus a lot on the kids this week as well. Make sure we’re off to a good start into the school year. They matter most.
  • I will focus on my core desires (kind, strong, true, generous, brave) by: 
    • I will be kind to myself. There’s a lot to juggle this week.
    • I will be strong and keep taking care of my body.
    • I will be generous with myself. With my kids. With Jake. With work. I will operate from a place of abundance.
    • I will be true to what matters most. This week is also about the kids. They come first.
    • I will be brave by going to the volunteer fair at school. Yet another social event. I’m ready for a break.
  • This week, I want to remember: that time passes so fast. that my kids are amazing. that my husband is the kindest person. that i am so incredibly lucky for all the supportive people in my life.

Here’s to a wonderful week!
