• my new manager at work
• overly long breaks (wading in fountains)
• garlic
• my days off
• Fear & Resilience
• getting back a roll of slide film I shot in Massachusetts
• the "Girl-Caught" campaign from the girls' magazine New Moon. I am so going to get my niece a subscription.
• a conversation with my librarian in which we discover that we are both principled Non-Dieters
• quiet mornings puttering and gearing up for the day. cooking a good Tupperware lunch for work, and enjoying doing it, has been my self-care practice lately.
• good yoga routines from YouTube
• Sunday evening liturgy
• Jenni Schaefer's books (eating disorder recovery)
• minimalist to-do lists (three or fewer things for the day...be real about priorities; be focused)
I really should try the minimalist to-do list. My list is always like 20 things long.
ReplyDeleteI love this. You're so powerful ie, full of power. You are an inspiration, love.
ReplyDeleteHappy lists make me happy! Where are these good yoga routines you speak of? I am on a mission to learn new things from YouTube. Not due to a love of YouTube, but due to the general expensive-ness of Official Classes.
ReplyDeleteAh, I spend my mornings puttering too. Great, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI am the opposite of a minimalist when it comes to to-do lists. I think it's so much fun to cross things off that I write down ridiculously long lists involving things like "put toothpaste on toothbrush. brush teeth. shampoo hair. condition hair. etc" and then also make lists of things I will need to accomplish the lists of mundane things, just so I can cross them off. (Well, and partly because I sometimes actually forget to do those things.)
ReplyDeleteNon-dieters make me very happy.
Also, this is unrelated, but I was writing a blog post earlier today and was later reminded of one you had posted in which I discovered through the comments that actually, a large amount of the blogging community have comfort items that they sleep with, but I can't seem to be able to find it...
Heather - I got the idea from Leo Babauta -- see this post. I find him very insightful.
ReplyDeletecolpanna - You're so kind and lovely to me. My trip has given me a lot of momentum in making my days what I wish them to be...a project we both share and share enjoyment in, it seems
Sarah - What other sorts of new things? I'm liking her routines, though in the actual videos she goes faster than I like.
Jenica - Yes, and the fact that there is a word for it!
faith - Haha, but I do understand the pleasure of that too. :) Here it is.
