Series – Future Self Journaling – 25F

I am on the struggle bus today, I think it ran me over actually. My body has decided it prefers random naps than a solid sleep schedule. Again. And right on cue, I am getting tired right before I have an errand I have to run.

On the good side, that nap is going to feel amazing once I get home.

Five Reasons to Make Healthy Choices Today

  1. My hard work last night means less stress and work today, more rest!
  2. A news break is good for my mental health. President Manchin is terrible for my blood pressure.
  3. Best be as healthy as possible to keep self out of a hospital that has no room for the vaccinated should a non-covid emergency arise. Dangerous to be ill or injured right now.
  4. And do I really want to hurt someone’s back who has to care for me by my being overweight? Even these few extra pounds can make moving someone more difficult.
  5. Ever seen the cadaver of someone even slightly overweight? Oof.

    I have holiday cookies in the house. I am not eating as many as other years, but still munching. On the good side, I ended the eating day with a huge salad with spinach, mixed lettuce, some carrots, cabbage and a spicy Thai dressing. Dessert was a family favorite, jello with raspberries. Pretty sure I easily met my fiber goal.

    Watching football and noticing the mics are better than ever. F bombs and random screaming from loud fans at the Vikings-Bears game.

Grateful For:

-My nails!!!! I chose a sparkly festive light red at the salon and it’s SO PRETTY!!! I am generally a tasteful pink or taupe girl. Not this season.

-Now I am actually done Christmas shopping, all gifts are wrapped. I thought I was done before, but no. Such a busy time of year!

-One kiddo had a heavy book of modern art on their wish-list, which I purchased. This kiddo is just like their Dad in looks and interests, so them showing a serious interest in art, my thing, makes my heart sing. That interest was sparked and fed from Mama! I AM in there! Grateful.

-The Sps met an important goal and I am just the proudest!

Godspeed y’all!

This content was previously written to ensure this was a true series, and to share insights.

Quick recap to orient the reader what is going on, sharing the purpose of vlogging this process. The journaling is part of a 30 Day Challenge I started over a year ago. I consider that a component of the Future Self Journaling process. The gratefulness notes near the bottom of each self improvement post is also a specific and helpful part of Future Self Journaling.
