Challenges, smallenges. It’s January, most things come easier to me in January. No special events requiring me to make sumptuous meals. The Sps back to work and Kiddos back in school means the house to myself, allowing some deep focus on task completion, future self journaling, exercise et al.
Another day, another list of reasons to make healthy choices today. Rocking the 30 day challenges.
Other challenges met, I am getting my logging done still. Four whole days in a row!! I met my watch step goal but not my personal step goal. Started day with squash casserole, a double helping, so got my veggies in. Five reasons to make healthy choices are:
The primary challenge, more attentiveness to the spouse, was successful as well. I did a check in with him and he expressed that he felt his love language wasn’t being heard like he needed these days, as we have both been busier. I asked for example, which he bristled at initially, yet when I expressed I wasn’t clear on what he was asking for, he provided me examples.
Future self journaling via 30 day challenges today, lots of hugs for The Sps today and took over a task or two so he could have some more him time. Took a walk together too.
For the new 30 Day Challenge, we are going back to task D. Spoiling your man. I have some new insights from the first round of giving the spouse more attention, and I would like to do the task again. I didn’t do it badly the first round, I simply have more information now to make him feel valued in a more targeted way.
Rituals for Living exercises. Continues to insist I be my best self, not just for him or me, but for the world we inhibit. He’s a supportive best friend and a person who keeps me mentally stimulated and brings topics to every patio, walk and dinner table conversation. I receive my love language, verbal affirmation. We continue to create art and love and experience the same.
