What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI dont do resolutions but there are things I measure regularly to check progress. Mostly weight related. 2019 is going to be a great year!
I read a great article and am going to try "micro resolutions" this year. One per month, non cumulative. Some may be removing a habit (quit drinking for a month) or adding a habit (5 minutes of meditation daily for a month). I think of it as a way to test drive habits and see what effect they have. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI don't do resolutions. I set intentions and try to track them. I also don't wait until the new year to set an intention. Right now my intention is to get back into the habit of getting at least 150 minutes of exercise in each week. Due to the weather (mostly ice) that will involve going to the gym at work. I had gotten out of the habit when my gym closed in order to move locations/renovations and then the craziness of Christmas hit.
ReplyDeleteI guess technically I do resolutions, even if I'm calling them "focus points." I'm still resolving to focus on them. LOL I've gotten better with my black and white thinking on this and don't beat myself up about things that weren't quite up to par in the previous year. If I made improvements, then that's a positive. If I didn't, then clearly my commitment wasn't there so that gives me pause to delve into why.
