Not a single consistent day yet! Ha!
At least I’ve journaled 3 times this week! That’s more than 2023 combined, so I’m counting this as a WIN.
I’ve been reading Brene Brown’s book, “Braving the Wilderness” and I’m really enjoying her writing. I’ve always wanted to read her books but now that I have a Libby/APL account it makes reading and listening to books way way better… FREE. I’ll be sure to add more of her books in my to read list, even though it is like a zillion books long.
Jamie, my therapist recommended I start journaling these topics:
A) 5 gratitudes
B) Plans for the day, or tomorrow
C) Any fears or resentments
D) Things to watch out for
E) Things to strive for
Let’s give it a go…
A) 1. Addison letting me sleep in today so I could catch up on some rest
2. Addison making a meal plan for the week
3. Addison helping around the house and trimming dog nails
4. Return policies
5. Sam’s club discounts
B) Tomorrow, we are going to wake up and go on a walk to review our week and upcoming week. We will make coffee before hand so we don’t buy any while we are out. And maybe we will go play in the park. When we come home we will meal prep. Get the house set up for the week, knock out some chores. Then eat dinner at the table and spend more time with Dottie.
C) I fear for our finances. We really need to start making money now that Addison decided to leave “Scot”
D) I need to watch out for this coyote apparently walking around our neighborhood. And me avoiding or procrastinating things.
E) I need to keep striving for my goals, especially my writing ones. Just keep chipping away on your todo list so it will be more manageable over time.
Still feeling pretty good for the year. Addison and I seem to be doing a lot better and thats been such a weight off my shoulders. Already I feel like I have the ability to actually get things done this year through emotional support and physically support with watching Dot. We have really come along way and I am so grateful of that. I really need to find time this week to write my next article for the magazine. Putting that on my todo list for the week now.
