Tomorrow I will continue to make healthy choices, take time for self care, move, love my family and appreciate the small things.
Trying hard to get back on track with self care and mindset work.

Intentions: I will breath and I will make healthy choices so that I can feel good mentally and physically.
Surprise, surprise, the things I was doing to be happy and healthy and all that jazz have fallen to the wayside. And even less surprising, I have been feeling crappier all around and just having a harder time…easily annoyed, less patient, quick to anger and just being on edge. I started reading Brene Brown’s Gifts of Imperfection and I also started listening to the happiness lab podcast. Important reminders that I need to PRACTICE being healthy and these healthy habits. I need to actually shift my priorities, not just say it, but really do it! But it’s also kind of hard. It’s so easy to prioritize (through action) being on my phone, mindless social media scrolling and games playing and reading “articles” (like do the latest shenanigans of the real housewives count as articles?), watching tv, etc. I am actually alittle afraid to make these changes. J am alittle afraid to put down the phone and turn off the tv. Maybe I am alittle afraid of doing this kind of hard work.
Gratitude:
I should really be journaling daily. So much is going on. At the moment we are going to move to CT, but another recent job interview means staying semi local is still a possibility. Local enough that I could keep my current job. That would be a huge difference in income. But we will see. I am hopeful and maybe even excited for the future.
Gratitude:
Summer is already off to a hectic start. HIR got an offer for a job in CT. Not part of the plan or at least the expected plan, not sure what decision we will make. I will have to resign my job and leave the place I have lived for 16 years. That’s hard and sad. Making a decision is the hardest part, always afraid of doing the wrong thing, messing it up. We are putting the house on the market this weekend (regardless of CT job), so it’s hard to even think about things because there is so much to physically do.
Gratitude:
I will do the things I need to do today. I will take care of myself today.
The first Monday of summer vacation is starting out much better than my first day of vacation. I was so sick on Saturday! Upset stomach…something going around? Something I ate? I have no idea, but feeling back to normal. There is so much going on in life for me right now and it probably deserves some time to write about and to get out my thoughts and feelings to help me process, but even though it’s summer and I am off, there has not been time to do so yet. Considering I am doing my morning routine of gratitude and mediation at 4pm 🙄.
