Diet: PASS (fruit and vegetables, moderate added sugar)
Exercise: PASS (walking)
Sleep: WIN! (getting reasonable rest at reasonable times)
Mindfulness: PASS (general mindfulness)
Love and Support: WIN! (visiting with friends, corresponding with family)
Learning: PASS (rest / new approach)
I had a restful and social weekend this weekend. I had Sunday dinner with my friends Shane, Dean, and Jim. We have now started watching Twin Peaks as our Sunday TV, since I haven't seen it before and I keep hearing good things about it. Very unusual in its approach and very engaging. I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm managing to keep diet, exercise, and sleep on a reasonably even keel. Some improvements are needed to push them back in to solid wins across the board, but they are holding. I'm going to keep working on them, and I am optimistic that I'll be able to do well with them this week. We'll see.
The main area I want to work on it learning. This weekend I took a deliberate break, because I find that defining week days as work days and weekends as rest days is really successful. My failure in the last few weeks is to allow too many week days to be rest days. Sometimes I had a good reason, but I think I became a little too casual about it. Though the cold/sore throat I had did knock me down for a week or so, so I won't beat myself up about. Self-flagellation is rarely a solution to a problem.
The solution that I'm going to try is much more positive and reasonable, hopefully. I'm going to set some concrete goals for the education report so I can be a little more objective. This will hopefully result in concrete victories which will boost my spirits. I'm going to be moderate at first in the interest of getting some victories, and then I can ramp up the goals.
More on that in a post later today.
