What day is today in the Challenge?
Today is Day 13 but I will be posting for day 12 as well (I actually forgot!)
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?)
Day 12: Went well, I did just want to sleep in and rest all day before I went to work. So that was a bit difficult, because sometimes resting all day feels SOOO nice. But then the body gets used to it. : / ugh.
I did eat 3 meals.
I haven't been keeping up my elimination diet, or eating log. I haven't been eating corn but I have been allowing dairy and sugar to sneak up on me.
I went to bed on time.
I brushed my teeth.
I brushed my hair.
I did YOGA! I ended up doing nightime yoga because it was so late and it was great.
I prayed. : )
I emailed and looked more into yoga training schools. (My something brave.)
Day 13:
Today was a good day. Today was General Conference (A broadcast from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where the leaders of the church speak to us.) I felt inspired and uplifted by the messages and honestly they helped me to think about things in my life.
I brushed my teeth
I showered.
I washed my face
I am going to do yoga right after I post this!
I did read scriptures today and I did pray. I basically spent the whole day filing my spiritual cup which I forget how important that really is. Today was very enlightening.
I pondered about this challenge today, and I'm going to do some more pondering tomorrow.
I did an Anatomy quiz today! (1 hr of schoolwork + 1 Anatomy assignment)
I will go to bed on time.
How do you feel physically?
Day 12: I just felt tired.
Day 13: Physically, I feel good. My nerves were somewhat sensitive today, which is a sign of an episode coming, but it's not too bad today so hopefully I can catch it before it gets too bad.
How do you feel mentally?
I feel good mentally. I am somewhat worried about my weekly progress picture tomorrow. I'm starting to get antsy about getting into shape, and that's not really why I'm doing the project. It will be a benefit of it, I'm sure, but I'm getting anxious. (It's a control thing, like well the mind stuff takes a long time to see the benefits of and the spiritual stuff's benefits aren't always visible, so I should be working out harder so that my body can change so I can see that progress, right??) I feel this way yet I'm barely (and I mean barely) making my 3-4 times a week minimum with Yoga. My perfectionism really sneaks up on me in the weirdest ways, doesn't it?
How do you feel emotionally?
Emotionally, I feel okay. Thinking about the important things I learned from General Conference today was really helpful. Thinking about my control issues makes me feel a little nervous and uptight. Which to me is a sign that a change of thought patterns is in order. I will ponder that tomorrow when I am pondering the project in general.
What are your thoughts on the challenge?
My thoughts on the challenge are that I still want to do it. I want to do good things for myself so that I can keep living my life. I think that sometimes I forget to take care of myself and my needs get neglected. Other times I get worried about my needs that I neglect to live my life outside of "taking care of myself". Sooo I want the challenge to help me find balance between the two. I want to do the good, important things for my mental, physical and spiritual well-being. I also want to live my life with out worry of goals and deadlines not being met. I also want to let go of my need for control and perfect situations. This need is a big anxiety trigger for me, and it is so unnecessary. Sigh. (That is what I keep telling myself anyway.)
Anyway, more info on the things I will be pondering/modifying/changing the way I think about them.
Tomorrow!
Xoxo!
