Three ways I shone this week: There were some challenging moments this week. Moments where it would be easier for me to close and go inward. Moments were I might have chosen poorly. But I tried to remember what it means to shine. I asked myself what I would do if I were choosing to shine. It was helpful to look at life through that mindset.
- I showed up for work. Several long days this week both physically and emotionally.
- I agreed to help out a new team.
- I spent several days out in the backyard, choosing to enjoy the sun.
Things I wanted to get Done:
- I read all the packets and prepared for committee.
- I didn’t figure out our summer trip a bit more or find a different hotel, I decided this could wait until we’re back from our Spring Break.
- I think I finished all my little todos that are taking space on my mind.
- I’ve been spending time thinking about what it means to shine.
- I’m packed and sort of ready for our trip tomorrow.
- Listening more than I talk is always tricky for me. It’s a work in progress.
I celebrate: Spring break baby!
I am grateful for: a little break. i really need some time off and i am heading off to an adventure this week so I am grateful for that.
I nourished myself by: more backyard time. a little more rest than usual.
Reflecting on my worries: I did ok with the packets. my results might indeed be negative but alas. i am still quite exhausted. but i also am so deeply grateful this week.
I let go of: what i have no control over.
Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
- bold: it’s been bold of me not to give up when i desperately want to.
- mindful: i’ve been mindful of feeling sad. not trying to numb it or bury it but letting myself feel it.
- nourish: i took some much needed me-time on Friday and took a nice, long bath.
- love: i love my family with all of my heart and soul.
What made me laugh this week: Nathaniel. he’s my angel.
What I tolerated this week: long, grueling work days. especially tuesday.
My mood this week was: tired, anxious and then sad. but still filled with deep moments of joy and gratitude.
I forgive myself for: things that are outside of my control.
What I love right now: having the sun finally out and enjoying the backyard again.
Here’s to a wonderful week fifteen. Hello Spring Break!
