Highlights: Sometimes it takes more than a little effort to move myself towards things like a 30m workout, but when I complete it the sense of accomplishment is worth it. Colder mornings and later sunrises play a part too. Jen had coffee with Mary while I went to Santa Cruz to attend another Death Cafe event. That too too effort. That too was rewarding, and validating of my desire to spin up a South Bay group ASAP. Jen and I collaborated well today on revisiting our budgeting needs and refining some details. It'll be a weekly thing that will keep us in sync and strategic. We also researched and initiated planning a family Christmas gift that we are excited about, and we will finish getting it all aligned tomorrow. We also scheduled our week to allow for a couple of 1:1 outings around some online courses we are independently starting as a means of expanding our skill sets.
Insights: A couple of nerves got hit throughout the day that triggered a sense of defensiveness. I had to practice managing my responses with patience, allowing time to reflect in one instance and managing a realtime exchange in another. Both went much better than they would have had I allowed learned behavior and insecurities to grab the wheel. It's comforting to recognize that perfection is a myth yet small wins add up to progress.
