What day is today in the Challenge?
Today is day 11!
How did it go?(How many of the daily tasks did you accomplish today?If applicable, how many of the weekly tasks did you accomplish today?)
Today went well. It was cold outside and I didn't have any commitments so I spent a lot of the day wrapped up in a blanket. I can tell you what I did though.
I didn't wake up @7 or 7:30, I slept in until 9:30 ish. And I took a nap. I think I must have been tired today.
I did something brave today! I emailed two yoga teacher training programs to find out more information. : )
I ate 4 meals today. : ) (Still no corn, although occasionally HFCS will slip past me. I'm conscious of the normal corn so it is easier to avoid.)
To be honest, I didn't brush my hair today. : / but I will do it before bed. : )
I did prep things for Young Women's today. I prepped for our next mutual activity.
I will read scriptures and say a prayer tonight.
As for the rest, who knows... ; )
How do you feel physically?
I feel good. I didn't have much pain today, or discomfort. : )
How do you feel mentally?
I feel good mentally. I was productive today, and accepting days as they are is what will help me the most. So today I'm accepting today as it was. (I actually loved being lazy in my blanket all day, it felt great. So it is ironic that when I do have days like that I feel guilty like I should have been doing more. It's a hard balance between letting myself have lazy days occasionally and being okay with them and the lazy days turning into avoidance days.) But I'm trying. I didn't feel like I was avoiding anything today. Sometimes I just don't feel like I have that much to do, but when I make myself think of what I have to do then it becomes an obsession and a stressor. So I'm letting today be what it was, nice.
How do you feel emotionally?
Emotionally, I feel good. I watched one of my favorite inspirational movies with Husband tonight and it just made my heart happy. (Forrest Gump) I also spoke to my Mom a lot on the phone today and we talked about some helpful things. I felt hopeful after our conversation. She talked a lot about how life is not black and white, and how you learn as you go, you don't have to "have everything figured out by a certain time in life" and apparently that is a struggle for me. Who knew?? ; )
What are your thoughts on the challenge?
My thoughts on the challenge are: Keep on Keepin' on. Looking into those yoga training programs today motivated me to do my yoga. My mom said yoga training could take me places I might not even be planning for and I feel like that is true with yoga training and with some of my other goals, so I feel excited to keep working at this challenge, so I can live my life with a peaceful heart, not so I can live a perfect life. : ) Simple things make the difference, right.
P.S. I love watching a movie, snuggling with Husband on these cold days. Something as simple as that can make me feel so grateful and content.
Night!
