Salinger Posted Sunday at 11:43 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:43 AM Hello! This challenge will mainly be me trying to figure things out. Life, work, self. Each challenge i am trying to do better, be kinder to myself, rest more. I desperately need to figure out more vigorous walks, as i need to build up my fitness with a big event in April 2025. Carry on with my weekly weightlifting sessions with smaller kettlebell lifts at home. I also want to begin yoga, and stretching. My diet needs to be better. And i need to drink much more water. More to come possibly .... Happy HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEN. 6 Quote Link to comment
Salinger Posted Sunday at 11:46 AM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:46 AM Hey all. Past few days been ok. I am very busy with work, I need to figure out more structure maybe, as I get so overwhelmed at times. More rest, more time out with Bronze, more films and reading. More kindness to myself. Today, going to the football to watch Wigan Women play. at 2pm. Then home, to watch a big game at 4.30 Do a bit of cleaning, bit of emails/work, then bath, film, dinner, early night ❤️ xx 4 Quote Link to comment
Artemis Prime Posted Sunday at 12:39 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:39 PM Hi, Sal! This all sounds like very good stuff, but one thing that jumped out at me was that you mentioned feeling overwhelmed, but this is also a lot of more, more, more. I agree that figuring out a structure might help alleviate some of the overwhelm, but I also wonder if it would be worth your while to take some time to list out things you could do less of. You can only add so much more before you run out of day and also out of you, so before you start working too hard on adding more in, maybe start with finding places to make room for more first. 6 Quote "For God did not give us a spirit of fear; but a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline". - 2 Timothy 1:7 "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." -Gandalf Link to comment

Harriet Posted Wednesday at 07:21 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:21 AM Hey Sal, I hope Bronze recovers soon. And I hope your Wednesday is starting out all right. Sooooo, the really important question. How do you feel about Tuchel coaching the England team? 1 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

Sooooo, the really important question. How do you feel about Tuchel coaching the England team? Thanks Harriet ❤️ Im fine, actually very positive about it. He is a very good manager, even more so in tournament footy. I recon he is the one to get us silverware. I do understand people being angry and wanting British manager etc and i get the argument for putting time, money, support into bringing up English or British managers. But we live in a society that demands success quickly. As if the England fans who are crying about a foreign manager would allow an English manager time to learn the craft!! Naaaa they want to win NOW. And Tuchel may well be the German to do that hahahhahaha x 2 Quote Link to comment

But also understandable to want to win. Perhaps England just needs some coach-coaches? Well I hope England and Germany make it to the final, and that England comes a very plucky second. 😁 1 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

There should be a FIFA rule for this. If all the players need to have that country's passport to be eligible to play for the national squad, why does that not hold true for the coach and the staff? Should be mandatory. On the other hand, name me one British manager that'd want the job right now... 😇 Quote TimovieMan: funnier than you think he is; not as funny as he thinks he is...

But they werent interviewed apparently. Best England squad in my lifetime, a more progressive manager and we would have won the last 2 Euros and got to a World Cup final. We are almost there, I am hoping Tuchel is the missing piece of the puzzle. x 1 Quote Link to comment
