Diet: PASS (fruit and vegetable could be a little higher, added sugar could be lower)
Exercise: WIN! (walking, miscellaneous exercise)
Sleep: PASS (could be earlier, could be longer, but is currently adequate)
Mindfulness: PASS (could do more meditating, though general mindfulness is good)
Love and Support: WIN! (walking buddy back, corresponding with family, French, Toastmasters)
Learning: PASS (French, Toastmasters)
The theme of this check-in is relief. The election is finally over, so it'll be easier to remain calm on that front and get enthusiastic about my own projects again.
My health also seems better today. My sore throat is finally gone, my gall symptoms are barely noticeable, and I've felt much more motivated today than I have for about a week--even when compared to just yesterday.
I was a little unprepared for my role as toastmaster today, though I did okay. I will sign up for toastmaster again in a few weeks and give it another go; I think I'll be able to do a much better job next time.
Last night was the last French class for this session. It'll be starting up again on the 2nd I believe (I've already signed up for the next round). I've really been enjoying having classes to attend.
I will aim to have a better education report on Friday. If I'm not able to pull it together this time, I'll need to rethink my strategy and see if a change of plan is required, such as looking into Edmonton Startup again. I may look into it again anyway, just to get some space away from home that I can treat as a work/office area.
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is coming up in November again. My friend Amber is going to participate and I think it would be wise for me to as well--provided I can still run my classes and other projects. But lately I have abandoned my fiction writing in favour of more practical skills, and it may be a mistake for me to do nothing in writing fiction prose. I'll have to see.
Anyway, I'm hoping my ability to motivate myself is going to improve again now that my health is recovered. I do enjoy life more when I'm enthusiastically pursuing my passions, as evidenced by how well today is going.
