Three ways I shone this week:

• One: I worked a lot this week. I went to work three times and had a lot lot lot of meetings.
• Two: I showed up at my book club even though i was wiped and I am so glad I did.
• Three:?I supported my son by going up to his school three times this week.

I celebrate:?showing up in all the ways this week.
I am grateful for:?the response from work for a favor i’ve been asking a lot of people this week. i am so lucky.
I nourished myself by:?sleeping. resting.
Reflecting on my worries: I worried that work won?t get done, and some did and some didn’t. there’s always more work to do. i will be okay. i will continue to be exhausted and i was and i still am. that, too, will be ok. lunch was worth it. movies was stupid but worth it. i likely will indeed never catch up at work. i exercised only once and journaled twice. it’s ok. i am giving myself grace. I did book LA and we’re going to be all set. i will do my best and that’s all i get to do.

I let go of: pretty much all my email this week.

Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):?

1. I was really bold. i continued to ask and continued to receive.
2. I’m still mindful of the fact that i am completely off routine at this point and will have to consciously choose to go back.
3. Nourishment isn’t going well but i am still focusing on fruit and veggies over other food.
4. I am learning that I need unconditional love for myself, too.

What made me laugh this week: the movies. oh how silly it was.
What I tolerated this week: a lot of work.
My mood this week was:?full. i felt like my life is so full.
I forgive myself for: not getting more done. it will all get done eventually, ?i am sure of it.
What I love right now: my kind and generous husband. he is the best part of my life.

Here’s to a wonderful week eight!

Three ways I shone this week:

• One: I organized and coordinated across both teams in Sydney, resulting in a lot of great conversations.
• Two: I connected with people both on the plane there and on the plane back. lovely conversations.
• Three: I went out every night even though I wanted to go out none. I chose to show up.

I celebrate: being back home with my boys. missed them so.
I am grateful for: having the weekend to rest. i appear to be quite jet lagged.
I nourished myself by: eating somewhat well, walking a lot, resting as much as possible.
Reflecting on my worries: I worried that david would be sad and in fact he was, but i was able to help resolve some of it remotely. i worried about not making the connections i hoped to and indeed i didn’t get to connect with one person i wanted to but i had three other surprise connections so that ended up okay i was effective and the trip was definitely worth it. i wasn’t sick. i didn’t exercise with the 7minute but i walked like crazy and i journaled, albeit a small amount. And nothing terrible happened!

I let go of: having my regular routine when there.

Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love): 

1. I was really bold. i asked for something and got a pleasantly positive reply.
2. I’m still mindful of my default behavior and my habits.
3. Nourishment was harder during travel but i still focused on fresh and at lots of veggies.
4. I am more and more convinced that life is about love. just love. unconditional love.

What made me laugh this week: i laughed a lot at work this week.
What I tolerated this week: late nights. a lot of socializing. time away from my boys.
My mood this week was: rushed. but also calm. present. grateful.
I forgive myself for: not connecting with the SYD folks more. or with the one person I meant to. For my mistakes. for falling of my routines.
What I love right now: my kind and generous husband. he is the best part of my life.

Here’s to a wonderful week seven!
