Body: TOTAL WIN! (rest, walking, diet, sleep)
Mind: TOTAL WIN! (feedback/writing, chores, Vegas)
Spirit: TOTAL WIN! (feedback/writing, walking in nature, dog, friends, family, Vegas)
I was still a bit sleepy yesterday so other than getting my step goal (a moderate 15,000 right now) I physically rested and went to bed early. As a result, I was up at a pleasantly early time today (shortly after 9:00 am), which should help me get a lot done today--and there is a lot to do.
Some of my friends are going to Vegas at the end of the month, so yesterday I booked flights and hotel to join them, which was learning and concentration for some points under the mind category, and also worth emotional and social points in the spirit category. More on that in tomorrow's news post.
I also got feedback on the outline I submitted on Sunday. Reading between the lines of my Writing Police's very diplomatic feedback, there is a lot of work to do. But I knew that would be the case going into this, and I'm excited by the opportunity to burn down Sunday's outline and build it anew. I already have some ideas.
This is a huge emotional victory, actually, this ability to take feedback well and be excited by the new opportunities that it creates. It's really easy for creative types to get negative and defensive about feedback, which is a short path to unhappiness and low quality. Success appears to come from a long process of iteration and feedback. And successfully following such a process means enjoying it.
Okay, I'm only on cycle #1 of this process, but I'm moving onto cycle #2 with good cheer. It's a good sign.
