Weekly Reflection 2017 – 18

How I shone this week: We finally took some family shots so you’ll be seeing a lot of those in this week’s posts. This past week turned out to be much more challenging than I had anticipated. By the end of Wednesday I was completely wiped and I decided to bow out of the work fun event on Thursday so I could stay home and get some actual work done. Which I did! And it was restful-ish. But I ended up working way more this week than was healthy and I’d like to make sure not to repeat that. Though it might have to for a little while longer.  I have had high and low moments this week but overall I did my best, I showed up and kept trying.

Things I wanted to get Done: 

  • Work: Did the newsletters, gave the preso, did the first document and started with yag. didn’t do the other two docs yet but working on it.
  • Vacation: memorial day weekend got too stressful so we’ll keep it lowkey. sydney airbnb all booked, flight to cairns booked, woohoo!
  • Summer: camps not booked, but waiting on some emails.  
  • Personal: exercised none and did no art. meh. but did buy sneakers!
  • Family: picked up one of the books, took photos, went hiking! but no date night!

All in all, I feel good about this week’s todos. I’ve also noticed that knowing I was going to have to write about them today really motivated me to get some of these done! 

I celebrate: going hiking again. i love it.

I am grateful for: family photos. and jake. so so grateful for jake.

I nourished myself by: not going to the all-day event on Thursday. 

Reflecting on my worries: i did get work done, not enough but still some. i finished the booking for sydney, i just have to cancel our hotel now. i didn’t book the camps but it’s ok i think and for when jake’s parents are here, we’ll just take it one day at a time. i didn’t exercise and that does suck. i did many of the todos. i did get tired but didn’t give up (mostly.)

I let go of: doing it all. taking one step at a time here.

Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):

  • bold: i gave a big, bold presentation at work.
  • mindful: i am mindful of the fact that i feel on and off. i’ve been trying to navigate my thoughts and feelings.
  • nourish: more CSA coming this week and I’m excited. I’ve also decided I get to eat a bit of what the kids do so I am hoping that will result in more veggies for me. i also intend to both exercise and do art this week. let’s see.
  • love: i love so many bits and pieces of my life. I love the sun. i love the flowers on my desk.

What made me laugh this week: much laughter friday night while I was volunteering at David’s school.

What I tolerated this week: very long workdays, especially Wednesday.

My mood this week was: exhausted. unsure. grateful.
I forgive myself for: being a work in progress.
What I love right now: the kindness of others. 

Here’s to a wonderful week nineteen!
