 Year of Yes – 329
Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday that resonates with me. I don’t dislike it the way I dislike Halloween but I also don’t love it the way I love Christmas. So it’s just a meh holiday. What I do love is taking a whole day off to do nothing without feeling bad about it. Today I scrapped, journaled and did a puzzle. All while watching six hours of TV. It was marvelous. Tomorrow I can strive again. Today is a day off. Yes to today. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 328
We had an early Thanksgiving today because Jake is off to an adventure. I loved being with my people and I am also looking forward to a quiet few days, reading, resting and being grateful. Yes to downtime. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 322
Feeling very full and grateful today. Remembering to take things moment by moment and appreciating what is right here and now. Slowing down to pay attention. Not believing my thoughts. Not letting the anxiety win. Yes to slowing down. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 321
I’ve been thinking so much about friendship lately. How we make friends, what kind of friends I want, and why. It’s hard to make friends as an adult. It’s hard for me to invest time into something that might or might not pan out. I don’t have the answers. I’m s just thinking about it. Yes to friendship. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 320

I have not climbed in about ten days; it was really nice being back at the gym. This morning little boy’s bus didn’t show up so I ended up having to drive him to school unexpectedly. It ended up being a two-hour trip and a lot of rush hour driving. I did not miss driving or rush hour. And while I wasn’t excited about making the trip, I felt grateful that it happened to be a light morning for me and I didn’t have to panic about work. The feeling of ease is still here and I’m still practicing so much more awareness and release than before. I am so incredibly grateful for it. Yes to ease. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 318
I used to have so much anxiety on Sunday nights. I used to feel the loss of the weekend and the impending weight of the week ahead of me. I don’t feel that way anymore. One of the side effects of the work I’ve been doing has been the calm feeling of being in the present moment. I am here now and I am doing the best I can with this moment. Tomorrow I will wake up and deal with that moment. Yes to being in the present moment. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 317
I woke up feeling bleh this morning and continued to hold on to that feeling all day. So, as a result, I didn’t get anything done, nor did I manage to put myself into a decent mood. Alas some days are like that. Yes to what is. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 316
We made it to another Friday. People say the seasons don’t change in California but they do. It.mightbbe more subtle but it’s there. Sometimes change can be hard to see when it’s gradual. You have to be willing to look closer. Yes to paying attention. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 315
Working in growth today. Understanding how to find my boundaries and how to know where to stop and where to keep pushing. When to lean in and when to walk away. It’s all so tricky. Yes to always learning and always growing. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 314
We’ve had so many small and big things to celebrate this week and yet there’s always more to work on and more to do so we haven’t taken enough time to stop and really pat ourselves in the back. To take a moment and really celebrate. To shine a spotlight and really soak in it, even if for a moment. We need to do that more often. I want to do it more often. I want to celebrate my people and our wins, small or big. In fact I want to celebrate huge. Because there are and will continue to be losses too. There always are. And when they come they have no problem taking our breath away and making sure that we focus on them fully. So the wins…. they deserve as much attention if not more. They may not make as big a scene about it, but that’s even more reason to make sure we take the time and honor them appropriately. Yes to celebrating. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 313
I was talking to my son about reflection and journaling yesterday. For me, journaling is a way to hear myself think out loud. For some, it’s a way to look back and see their growth. For others it’s a way to discharge emotions. I do those too. But for me the biggest advantage is a connection with myself. Once I know what I am thinking, it’s often easier for me to solve it. Or to let it go. Knowing is the first step and journaling is usually my path there. Yes to journaling. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes |
