Get up at 8am, HP and exercise. Walk dogs. Meeting. Library. 

Got up before 6.30 am and didn't exercise, walked the dogs nice and early though and it was a gorgeous morning. Haven't made it to the library either, was so exhausted by the early start I went and snoozed for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Roused myself enough to do Eva Fraser exercises (facial muscles. Am worryingly lop-sided but there's signs of improvement imo) and now am going to take dogs out again. Could go to another meeting (went to one this morning) or could get to a library for an hour or could just be gentle with myself and do some planning, and admin-y sorts of things. And get to bed early, that would be nice!!! (And before that, eat healthily, that would also be positive.)

Ok going to walk my mutts. Check in later.

hazyjane - 9 Jun 2014 - 2:22pm

I've been neglecting P-A lately and it shows in my life: less productive, less positive, more aimless and apathetic.  

So, I want to make a renewed commitment to showing up (a la Vic) and doing the basics.

I need to eat better, sleep better, exercise smarter. And study as a hobby. Not resentfully, or dismissively, or skimpily... or not at all. Study instead like it's what I WANT to do, CHOOSE to do, LIKE to do, ENJOY doing... etc etc, positive positive positive.

Be more positive, be more present. That's all.

And now, for the rest of my day... I might do some cleaning, clear my space and start afresh :).

Thanks P-Aers, you all really make more things more possible for me than you realise... I'm really REALLY grateful.

hjf2bme - 8 Jun 2014 - 8:42pm

Wow! Confusion and frustration do not mix well with procrastination! Thanks Kromer for clearing up my confusion...now, I have to turn around my frustrTiion, and get productive! 

So much to do, so little time left...


4th step about frustration

inventory and grocery list for the week


grocery shop thanks kiddos


dinner 

online open house 8p

 

apply for jobs

9:45 grade papers 

get ready for monday

go to bed! 

 

Ok,that was easy! The antonym for frustration is basically acceptance! ...and aceeptance is the answer to all my problems today! When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation-some fact of my life-unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing happens in God's world by mistake. Until I could accept my procrastination, I could not stay productive; unless I accept my life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as in what needed so to be changed I me and in my attitudes.  

Well, this doesn't solve my problems,but it makes me feel a little better...ready or not, here I go! 

Ugh! I can't stop procrastinating! I am powerless over it! This is serious! I have some big deadlines due....God please help me!  2:30

Maintenance tasks, do what works for me

Gratitude
 

Unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough, and more.

 

It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos into order, confusion to clarity.

 

It can turn a meal into a feast,

a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

 

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today,

and creates a vision for tomorrow.

"Then, one day, my mind shifted to this:
You can display the real you right now.
You can have it be in every encounter.
You can light up even the smallest task
with enthusiastic creativity -- if you want to.
That's the whole meaning of shifting the mind.
There can be light in every word."
