Since we’re a few days from the end of July and I didn’t manage to post yesterday, I figured I can just merge the updates and then make plans for August later this week. I haven’t had any time to think about August as July went a little more awry than I had planned. But that’s ok. Life.
So while I didn’t really establish a nighttime routine, I did in fact start a yoga practice and I’ve done yoga almost every day in July. Huge progress. I’ve also found a cream I love and have used skin cream more days this month than the whole year before this. So major progress.
I made a little progress on the reclaim list but not nearly enough. This one will have to be something I re-tackle.
- Progress on the big five:
- Y: Got a lemon (not orange) tree. I didn’t do side yard but I did plant flowers in the front though two out of three already died…
- G: Got ikea unit moved but didn’t unpack and put away the last bits leftover. I also got a carpet though and it looks nice!
- S: Did the change, appointment tomorrow, working on research.
- Sa: doing a really good job at work. Also now can leave home and be outside without her freaking out. Progress!
- D: Finished both the cleaning and servicing.
- Three Medium goals:
- Quests are finally ready to go though i am so tired of it, we’ll see if it takes off.
- MBSR book stalled after week one, partly because I am reading so many other books at the moment.
- Finished all of my chores, I am very proud!
- Start: I am slow reading both Diaspora and The Master and Margarita, and loving it. So proud!
- Stop: I did an excellent job in July reducing my snacking considerably.
- Continue: I did a handful more this month but not nearly as much as I wanted. It’s ok. It’s been an unexpectedly busy month and I am happy with how I prioritized.
- Brave: Actively working on this.
I’ve done a lot this month. And some unexpected curveballs too. I am really proud of how I handled it all and truly grateful for my full life. Working hard to move onward and working hard to appreciate what is.
Here’s to another month. Paying attention. Loving my people. Savoring and living in awe. And taking steps to move onward.
