- I completed the Canadian Securities Course, which is a big part, the main part, of my career goals pre-40.
- I have been making my lunch and bringing to work almost every day.
- I have been making strides in paying off debt and have been slowly chipping away at it.
- My daughter is now very happy to be going to "big girl school" and our routines around it are becoming set (and fewer meltdowns have ensued).
- I have been pushing myself do more active things and things outside my comfort zone (like volunteering for gardening at my daughter's school)
So, this week, feeling optimistic, I'm back. And have two goals for the week:
1. Start/continue my daily gratitude email.
This is something that was started by my sister-in-law more than a year ago and is a wonderful ritual. It fell off the rails a few months back, and I've missed it. Everyday you email (so you are accountable and are putting these positive thoughts out into the universe) people on the gratitude list (a few family members that also participate -- no looky-loos) three things that you are grateful for. It was started again today by my niece-in-law (is that a thing?) and I was very excited to see it in my inbox.
2. Have a healthy start
I have been waking up stiff and eating a sugary/white floury breakfast when I arrive at work. There are probably other issues with my morning routine, but these are the biggest right now. So, what I would like to be doing is spending a few minutes stretching every morning before I get going and then eating a healthy breakfast. I started this morning by having overnight vegan oats and they were both healthy and delicious. They are from a recipe by Oh She Glows blogger Angela Liddon. I love that they are simple to make and I can quickly make them the night before. I just don't have the time in the morning.
Gratitude, stretch and breakfast -- a good start to any day. Let's see how I do.
