Friday 29 October 2010

Welcome to Friday

Time to finish tasks before the weekend rest

Lets go for it

tracy - friday oct 20 check in

Hi Everyone,

 

My basics:

1. Check in - show up - Done

2.  Gratitudes / Affirmation / - Done

I welcome and adjust to change in my life. 

3. Reading - done

4. Goals - Billing 6.0 - (goal not met yesterday - can this be made up on weekend?Timesheet (plan to do after appts and meetings) 

5. Inbox - plan to do after appts 

6. Exercise - Ran 5 miles. Done

Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever; it is for the present moment. Acceptance is thae magic that makes our present circumstances good. It brings peace and contentment and opens  the door to growth, change and moving forward.

It shines the light of positive energy on all that we have and are. Within the framework of acceptance, we figure out what we need to do to take care of ourselves.

Today I will accept. I will cultivate contentment and gratitude. I will move forward in joy by accepting where I am today. 

 Have a great day!

Laura's Friday list

It is a mid-Friday already but I will try to do at least few things today:

(1.) Meet with X(done)

2. Go to gym (not going to be done today)

(3.) Clean (done)

4. Study for exam (to be done)

(5.) Go to Y office (done)

... Got an extra thing done that was not on the list: I am trying to analyze if I did it because I had the willpower or to postpone one of my other tasks...sigh...

Need to focus on goal of 1 accomplishment: VM W&T Break it down into steps: 1 list changes to be made 2 assign if change via W, T, or PPM 3 write each entry 4 integrate into final document 5 review with VM (the fear part - must overcome) Remember: a) I know this material very well (having procrastined so long stewing over it) b) The execution time is very managable for completing today. c) The obstacle is irrational fear of VM reaction. But VM is very supportive of me and would do anything to help me.

sorry for format

Sorry for format of original submission.  It was made with rich text disabled.  I thought the line breaks / new lines would reproduce better.

show up (done)Ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives, gratitude list , basics, Thanks for being here.

Amazing victory today, after dragging out how to activate my new unlocked smartphone, I did it today in minutes, it became clear what to do, I don;'t know why I make things so hard and drag them out, in the past, I used food to "punish" myself, now I am sort of seeing that I do it with this stiff as well. Thank goodness for HP.

Journey 10 am &

Good morning!   I'm annoyed with myself that I've been getting up on time this week but then I find ways to waste time before I can get out of the house.   I'll work on this next week.   Today I did ok, got up at 5:15 and was at the gym about 6:40.  I want to be at the gym by 6:15 and at work by 8:30.  Today I was here at 8:45, which is fine. 

I have read email, and there's nothing on nmy calendar today except a nice lunch out with friends.   Making todo list now. 

UPDATE 2 pm back from lunch and feeling very lazy.   Going to todo list and finding a short task to get me back on track!

End o' the week with the Scribbler

Other tasks:

Going to start w/ mouse db

Action

Action builds confidence; inaction, doubt.

 Action indicates courage; inaction, fear.

God, please grant me the courage to take action today.  Show me Your will so that I may pursue the actions that count.

Edited:  Seems my actions today include several posts in these forums.  Hope its not just proc., but since I'm at work and not doing my JOB, it seems likely...

I have accepted that I refuse to exercise alone.  No buddy, no walk.  Humph.

Edited:  Phone bridge helped, conversation w/ hubby helped, in loosening big knot of anxiety in my gut.  I was almost in a good place, and then I hear the voice of X, coworker who uses his biting wit to one-up folks, including me.  Just the sound of his voice puts me on edge, waiting for the next jibe.  A large part of this is my belief that I deserve whatever he dishes out, because I am so unproductive (loser).  This negative self talk is a Lie.  Yesterday I completed a significant piece of my task.  It is done well and Completed!  (I keep thinking about the many additional significant pieces that are still pending, but I must focus on Today.)  Kudos to Ruth, she may be slow but she CAN get there.  Oh, and my worth is not defined by my productivity at work.  Not to say it doesn’t matter, but it’s by no means the whole ball of wax.  I’m a great wife, mother, and child of God.
