Chanda: Looking After Myself


Chanda

Recommended Posts

Great start of the week Chanda! You are so wise giving yourself recognition for what you actually do instead of being annoyed over what you don't do.

And you do have a lot going on......

 

Thanks. If I was going to get annoyed over what I don't do I would be permanently depressed... My expectations for myself are much too high. This little exercise of listing what I did do is actually helping me see that I am doing stuff, in particularly stuff that makes my life richer. :)

Hmm, yes... If we ever meet it will be a long talk with a lot of recognizing laughs !

 

Yes, I expect that would be the case. Who knows maybe we make it up your way one of these days. If you do, I will be sure to let you know!

Day 7-10: 22.Sep-25.Sep: 

Status quo is slipping. Its been a crazy-busy few days.

 

Quests 1 (tennis) and 2 (move): made it to tennis today and part of yoga tonight. Yesterday I did yoga for toddlers with my girls (2 tennis, 1bw, 2 yoga so far).

 

Quest 3 (fueling): a few good days and 1 neutral day (9 good so far). Been eating OKish and not much snacking.

 

Quest 4 (status quo): 2 good and 2 neutral (7 good so far). house is looking a bit worse than it was a few days ago, needs a bit of picking up. at least today the kitchen is better. in some cases i have remembered to "do it now" and that feels good and the results are always great. our dog has had an upset stomach which caused a lot of extra cleaning and effort. fortunately he is better now.

 

Quest 5 (stay sane): 2 good days and 2 neutral (6 good so far). on 2 days I actually got up early enough that I could get a few things done before it was time to get ready for the day. me time has slipped a bit, I did take a few minutes to watch a tv show and to do some shopping. accomplished:


  • Went and got my ID card renewed.
  • Went and got my passport renewed.
  • Attended parent evening in the kindergarden
  • Went out for a nice morning walk, breakfast and play with the girls and m-i-l on Sunday
  • Researched about tennis racquets and ordered tennis racquets for myself and my daughters. As well as balls. Now we can play outside of lesson time.
  • Worked 3 days. 
  • Printed and checked bookings for short holiday coming up. 
  • Finally weighed and measured myself. No surprises, my weight is stable and measurements showed I havent been doing much exercise for the past 2 months. 

Big day tomorrow. Packing, getting ready for visitors, finishing a couple of work items and then long drive.

Getting ready to go on a trip is always stressful, so I'm glad to hear you're taking time to do relaxing stuff like taking walks with your daughters.  Sending the light to you as you prepare for your journey.  Safe travels!

At times, you become almost certain that you slabbed this hillside three days ago, crossed this stream yesterday, clambered over this fallen tree at least twice today already. But most of the time you don’t think. No point. Instead, you exist in a kind of mobile Zen mode, your brain like a balloon tethered with string, accompanying but not actually part of the body below. Walking for hours and miles becomes as automatic, as unremarkable, as breathing. At the end of the day you don’t think, 'Hey, I did sixteen miles today,' any more than you think, 'Hey, I took eight-thousand breaths today.' It’s just what you do.â€

Enjoy your vacation! I love the focus on staying sane and keeping the status quo - it looks so simple, but they're both so hard to do sometimes! Keep it up!
