Stronger Than Before – 13

Weekly Intention: This also promises to be a reasonably quiet week. My intention this week is to get some of our summer under control and to plan the rest of spring break and button up david’s application. These are all things i’ve been postponing in one way or another but they are weighing me down so i will be glad to get them done. I also want to really try to not work in the evenings this week. I want to spend time with both kids, go back to preparing healthy food. If I can do these things I’ll feel really, really good about my week. 

This month’s intention is: Party Strong: This month is for celebrating. You’ve worked hard, they’ve worked hard. Everyone’s working hard. Make sure to pause and celebrate. Have a party. Take a moment daily and pat yourself in the back. Pat your loved ones in the back, too. Hmm well we haven’t done any partying. Maybe I can declare this Friday a celebration day for our family. I will certainly be celebrating the end of March.

One way I will stretch this week:  I will be driving a new car around all week which is going to be hard for me. 

One boundary I will set this week: i will protect my evenings this week as well, mostly to sit with all my boys.

This week, I will focus on pleasing: my family by taking care of all the summer plans.

One new thing I will learn this week: more physics i hope!

One area where I will go deeper this week: i will be organizing two summits. 

What do I need to sit with this week? i need to sit with the discomfort of closing out our plans for the summer, booking places, and just getting it done.

I am looking forward to: being done with all these plans that have been weighing on me. can i get it done? 

This week’s challenges: besides what i mentioned above, it’s organizing all my learnings from the last month.

Top Goals: 

  • Work:  start organizing the summits, distill learnings
  • Personal: keep body pumping, buy tix for boston, buy tix for europe, close and submit essays and finish out the app, and for the love of the universe please figure out the food.
  • Family: spend time with all three of my boys!!

I will focus on my values:

  • Love: be extra loving with myself this week, ask for help for some of these tasks that will be hard on me.
  • Learn: learn how to be more helpful at work.
  • Peace: peace with what’s hard for me. and grace. 
  • Service: this week’s service is to nathaniel who will need to prep for his Farmer’s Market at school.
  • Gratitude: for having my husband who is my rock

This week, I want to remember: it’s all going to work out. i will buy the tickets and plan the plans.
