Living Intentionally – 36

  • Weekly Intention: My intention this week is to be present. I have another full but unusual week. My week starts with a few days off thanks to Labor day and Jake’s birthday. But then Wednesday is full to the brim and Thursday also promises to be a very long day. I want to be present for all of it. For the celebrations and for the work. I want to play hard, work hard. I want to soak in the moments of my days.
  • Choices I want to make:
    • One: I will choose to celebrate big on Jake’s birthday and do my best to make sure he can see how much he means to me.
    • Two:  I will choose to make wiser eating choices.
    • Three: I will choose to rest whenever I can during this relatively hectic week.
  • I am looking forward to: David’s back to school night. It will be long but I am still looking forward to it. Oh and Glennon’s book is coming out tomorrow!
  • This week’s challenges:  A very long Wednesday and Thursday this week. I want to make sure I rest well. I am worried about driving in the dark on the freeway as well.
  • Top Goals:
    • Work: My intention this week is to close off all the loose ends and finish a few tasks i’ve been dragging my feet on.
    • Personal: I’m coming to my one-month of exercise, I’d like to make a plan for month two.
    • Family: I want to make sure to spend time with the kids between when i pick them up and when i have to go out at night.
  • I will focus on my core desires (kind, strong, true, generous, brave) by: 
    • I will be kind to Jake. I love him so very very much and I want to make sure to both say it and show it.
    • I will be strong and start making some changes in my diet.
    • I will be generous with my time. I have more of it than I think.
    • I will be true to my priorities. I will also try to do a bit of art this week. I miss it.
    • I will be brave by attending back to school night. Here’s to showing up!
  • This week, I want to remember: that it’s all working out. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, we’re making it all work. I’m so grateful.

Here’s to a wonderful week!

    Karen, I love that photo. Where is it from? So sweet. We’re back to school this week, and I’m looking forward to returning to the routine after a very bumpy summer. :O I hope your week goes well, despite the busy and hectic activities.
