How are you? How was your week?
I’ll update on the week tomorrow, started the thread bc am trying to distract myself / sit through some feelings
.
I have completely lost track of what day of the week it is. Thanks for reminding me it’s Monday!
Last week - 2 swims, 4 rides, 5 runs
never came back to writing goals last week, had like 5.5/7 days healthy coping. Main goals were 7/7, and use healthy skills on my travel day and post travel day (that one is tough as I always am soooo tired). I give myself a B+ on travel day and the post travel day
Goals for this week are 1. Healthy coping skills 7/7 2. Journal every day 2. Practice 2 min pauses 2x a day (at least). 3. Get on a sustainable amt of running
as far as (1) yesterday wasn’t perfect but it was really really close
The 2 min pause is just set a timer on my phone and sit or lay doing nothing for two min (ok to put music on). It is a calm down technique I am practicing.
Hello! I hope Christmas ended up with at least some merriment! Our merriment was that we got power back after decamping to my MIL’s for almost a week, only to promptly get something 'flu-like for the actual day itself. Sigh.
I’ve been drowning in work year-end chaos and my husband’s mental health challenges, so I haven’t had a lot of time to focus on myself and goals and all that good stuff because I’m mostly focused on the fact that I’m hanging on by a thread. Two more days to go and then we’re into a new year of work chaos, which will hopefully be less time-sensitive and I can breathe a little. And start training for that full I signed up for. Hahahahaha…
I hope this week is going better, Dr. TC. I like your 2-minute pauses; I might have to adopt that.
I’m glad you replied as I forgot the pauses…
Xmas did have merriment - on that day, and lots the day before and after.
I’m sorry you’re hanging on by a thread. I can’t believe I didn’t ask you about your electricity situation (my parents’ was out for 4 days but they were fine; cooked on the woodstove and all that).
