I thought I'll try for 10 minutes. 2 minutes into it, Dancer came to say hi and headbutted me to get me to pay attention to him! He was purring loudly and making small chirruping sort of noises. So, then, I had to stroke him while I tried to focus on deep breathing. After 5 mins., I sort of gave up and tried to fall asleep! LOL! <br /><br />Yes, the last weekend in May is a long weekend, so she'll be home for 3 days. Looking forward to that. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-51818959592308129862018-05-02T06:21:15.963-07:002018-05-02T06:21:15.963-07:00Your goals are very well balanced and cover a lot ...Your goals are very well balanced and cover a lot of areas Bless. As you say they might be very similar from one month to the next but at least you are re-affirming what you want to achieve. I especially like the meditation session at temple, that's a very proactive approach to something you feel you've been struggling with. <br /><br />Your DD coming home soon is something to really look forward to. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-27923503509148560712018-05-01T22:19:09.299-07:002018-05-01T22:19:09.299-07:00Thank you, Anne.

Some months, I tend to focus on one or two aspects, out of necessity (when I was undergoing cancer treatments, for example, my health spoke took prominence over everything else). But, ideally, I am able to do a little bit in each area so that I feel my life is well-rounded and balanced. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-53758105628230330722018-05-01T22:07:40.311-07:002018-05-01T22:07:40.311-07:00Live and Learn, draw a wheel with the different sp...Live and Learn, draw a wheel with the different spokes of your life and see which spokes are nicely plumped (because you were able to pay some attention to that spoke, that week or month) and which spokes are deflated. Then, see why they are deflated and consider what you can do to plump them up. It is an interesting exercise, I think.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-50971870824774337812018-05-01T21:57:14.869-07:002018-05-01T21:57:14.869-07:00Thank you, Andrea.

I find that this approach helps me to move forward and that the times I have't done it, I've just wasted my time and nothing has been started let alone finished.Where possible I try to have lists and tick boxes as this method works best for me.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.com
