- Weekly Intention: This week is a full, full week and even though I usually spend time Sunday evenings planning for the week ahead, as it worked out, we decided to take a last minute skiing trip this Sunday so we just got home and it’s 10pm so I am choosing to go to bed instead of doing my planning. Which means the week might start of even more shakily than usual. But I am grateful for the wonderful day and maybe this was a sign that my intention for this week should just be to be more present and in the moment instead of worrying about planning this week out.
- Choices I want to make:
- One: I want to choose to eat well and do my exercises despite the very full days.
- Two: I want to choose to spend my moments at home with my family instead of working since I will be at work a lot this week.
- Three: I want to spend the rest of my time getting as much rest as possible.
- I am looking forward to: Seeing some of my coworkers from Zurich who will be here for the week!
- This week’s challenges: This week I have two back to back summits at work which means I will be going to the office every day. And there will be two social events at night and all day meetings for 4 days. This means a lot of other work will need to be caught up on afterwards. It means I will be home very little. It means I will need time to fill up my energy since I’m introverted and need the quiet time to fill up.
- Top Goals:
- Work: Get a lot of productive work done while all the visitors are in town. Use face to face time well.
- Personal: Keep health a priority for the week. Be kind to everyone even if you are stressed/tired.
- Family: Spend as much time with my kids and husband as possible.
- I will focus on my core desires (kind, strong, true, generous, brave) by:
- Being really present at work and at home this week.
- I will be kind to myself and others during this hectic time.
- I will be generous with my time and effort.
- I will put aside anything that’s not urgent so this full week can have all my attention.
- This week, I want to remember to: I want to remember that it might be a long week but it’s just one week and it’s transient and it’s wonderful to have the summits here for a change. And that since I do have to be in the office so much, I would like to use that time wisely. I want to make the most of it.
Here’s to a wonderful week!
