Sunday Reflections (May 29th)- Accountability Thread

My updated goals were -consistently eating breakfast every morning (meal prep the day before on my busy days) -tracking my basal body temperature -reaching out to 1 girlfriend/acquaintance every week - Do 2-3 Zumba dance classes this week - write in my prayer journal at least 3 nights a week 1. Overall I felt my week was good. I found that I was able to consistently eat breakfast every morning and I am organizing a brunch next week with a couple of girlfriends in my parents city (I live in a diff city for grad school). 2. My win for the week was successfully leading my workshop for one of my grad classes. I get nervous talking in front of a large group of people but this was the first time where I felt very confident and surprisingly excited leading the workshop, I am so proud of myself of feeling the fear and conquering this! 3. A challenge was that I was only able to do 1 Zumba class this week and even that was hard to do. I found it hard to schedule in this busy week and one thing I struggle with is “all or nothing” thinking where if I can’t do a full class then no point in doing anything 4. A strategy to help is just to have more compassion towards myself on busier weeks and try my best to do even a little bit whether 15-20 minutes and finding other options if can’t go to the gym (doing YouTube dance videos) I came away with a new self-reflection. I’ve realized that in the past this planning, initiating and lending caring ear I would put towards the men I dated. Prior to FDS, I was told that you should put this energy towards yourself (which is true) but I find that actually putting this energy towards my parents, sister, friends, patients has made me build stronger relationships with ppl I care about

This week I : - followed through with my medication - quit a job that was draining me

- spent quality time with my best friends

- I was chosen to be the godmother of two beautiful twin baby girls (not a goal, but so honored I wanted to share with you) and my goal with be to "raise" them FDS style!

Current ongoing goals: -> G1 Working towards starting my business (fine tune the website, delegate first trial task to assistant, organise my files, record content)

-> G2 Diversify my life, finances etc (read a chapter of the book, research international options)

-> G3 Keep my mindset 'right'. (thought work, podcasts, self care)

-> G4 Consume/engage in at least 1hr of 'wealth consciousness' material per day (speaks for itself!)

Reflections:

G1 making progress on the website, slowly but surely. held up with the new assistant because of delays on her end. Contract not yet begun. Downloaded my photos from the cloud. Didn't record content. G2 Did not read a chapter. did start researching data residency options G3 watched a coaching call replay, attended 1/2 another one, chilled by the river, washed my HAIR haha. started Praying more :) G4 Did not really do this, apart from the coaching calls as above.

My “win” for the week: (edit: OOPS. was feeling not great after posting this and then realised i forgot this wins section! Go figure). Ok! wins for the week... (not necessarily directly focused on the goals above, but winds in general) - Cancelled my appointment with totally out of alignment accountant. YAY. - making solid progress on all fronts with goals above - had my period (I fucking love this part of being a woman) - was way more proactive with reaching out to friends and connections - did some cleaning - and generally doing the life thing and being alive through these crazy crazy times.

My biggest “speed bump/challenge” this past week was the delays with my assistant. I'm really running on deadlines and she was actually only supposed to be a (quick) interim solution, but I'm having lots of doubts about bringing her on and, and finding that I'm ending up doing the work myself that I was wanting to delegate. And it's stressing me out because my plate is way too full. So my biggest challenge at the moment is managing my workload and being spread way too thin :(

Strategy(s) to address challenges/goal:

Somehow not freaking out about the crazy tight deadlines and too-big workloads I have right now. Finding some strategies to look after my mental health, be more productive. Find other ways/people to delegate things to (some freakin' how lol). thanks for reading my essay hahaha.

My goal: cook a simple dish every day.

I didn't cook during the weekend, as I wanted to dine out as a treat for myself. Overall, I'm happy with my progress. My gut feels a lot better (no more bloating!) and my skin is clearer.

I'm also adding these three goals in my list:

- Read a physical book for at least 30 mins before bed

- 10 min strength training at least 3 - 5 times a week (with stretching)

- Take eye breaks after 30 mins of working on my laptop

Oh! I found my tribe again!

Goal: Accomplished!
