Mindset: optimistically, reinvigorated – I'm starting to recognize that some of the stalls and struggles of the past few weeks are likely closely correlated to changes in. (yes, you guessed it ) my daily routines and focus in mindset. I've been slacking on meditation and introspection and optimizing morning sunlight and dietary balance. I've also been getting swept up into the mythology of control. I tend to feel an insistent, obligation to resolve and fix whatever gets thrown my way, and I know it's self-imposed, but I also think it's, an expectation of others. And all of those are pretty much no-win situations. I don't want to be cavalier and throw my hands up and say that there's nothing I can do about any of it, and yet at the same time, the reality is, that's typically the case. I control my actions and reactions, and that's it. I can guide and try to influence, but each time I take on the responsibility of rectifying something, it's as if I'm redirecting water that will eventually flow wherever it's going to naturally flow, dammit. ;-). All this energy gets sucked into a hypothetical future or a subjective past.
Goals: Return to key routines starting ….. NOW!
Anticipation: A day with Jen and Lauren in Sac.
Wants: For the moment, I'm good.
