Strategy(s) to address challenges/goal
Stay tuned for tomorrow (Mondays) post where we can list our updated/new goals for the week ☺️
Hey ladies 1. I battled through PMS and fatigue to log more running miles 2. My presentation for a talk I’m being paid to do is complete in terms of slide deck and accompanying deck 3. PMS! I’ve listened to my body and am trying to pay attention to its signals - both in terms of physical and mental 4. Practise! With hairbrush! With mirror/strangers/etc
Went to Orthopedic appointment and no need for knee surgery! This is an overuse injury that will get better in time. I’m back to putting full weight on my leg although still hobbling a bit. I have three times a week of physical therapy for four weeks and will take all those gains back to the gym and continue there. Hooray for no surgery!
This week, I felt a profound shift in my relationship with social media. I'm using it less and putting down boundaries. As a result of less time wasted online, I wrote so much this week. I was really accessing my creativity, and worked on multiple writing projects. I got back to tarot, and it's making such a difference. I feel more connected to myself. I am really focusing on inner work and healing some deep wounds. I'm still meditating and saying affirmations.
This past week I went to my first therapy session. I used to do councelling at the grad school but this time I’m actually starting therapy to work through issues I’ve identified- namely perfectionism, low self-esteem/confidence/acceptance and difficultly communicating assertively with others and lack of healthy boundaries. I felt good energy and rapport from our first session and I’m excited to be able to do my next session with her. If anyone saw my earlier posts I was debating about moving to my dream city in my state or continuing to live in the city that I did grad school in. I do want to eventually move to my dream city but I need to get my finances secure and start to pay off debts and have good money to be able to move. So I’ve decided to move back to my parents home, help my parents and also save money to move to my dream city. This way I can be at a better state financially and be able to have extra means to build my life (therapy, hire a personal trainer, buy a car etc). So I declined the job in the city I did grad school in but got an interview in my hometown. Im gonna apply to more jobs locally and see where this goes. But I’m excited for the progress I’ve been making ☺️
Yes, I know it's "Monday" but my Wifi was out most of yesterday! Encouraged by support on FDS I went to see a therapist. I managed to see a wonderful woman (who also supported me during my divorce). She had taken a sabbatical to travel, but as I reached out to her she was just taking on new clients again... isn't the universe weird like that?
I went to a conference and delivered a keynote presentation that went well I think
Met a guy on an airplane who works at a relevant VC in my field. He is now trying to recruit me ha
I just came back did laundry and went grocery shopping (honestly, this means a lot for me)
I have a nutritionally dense meal plan prepped for my week. Am currently making roasted red pepper soup! I am all set to enjoy cod fish tacos after my workout tomorrow morning
