Howdy folks,
So I missed my morning run again this morning... I was sick recently for a fortnight (yuk) and since I got better I have failed to get back into my morning exercise.. and I'm feeling it... I need to make the effort to get up that hour earlier and hit the track...
In other matters, I'm realizing that my main challenge in overcoming procrastination - at work at least - isn't so much getting through a checklist of things 'to do' as it is avoiding time wasting... I'm thinking, for this reason, that I should give myself a 'grade' each day at the end of the working day, to assess my level of focus and keep myself accountable...
Today's to-do's:
9am: FAA meeting10am-6pm: No time-wasting at work
7pm: Meditation meeting
8.30pm: Grocery shopping
9.30pm: 30 Minutes to recovery forums
Hope you're all having a great day!

This is what I wrote in chat just now:
Just start somewhere, anywhere and stop being so harsh to yourself all the time. It is not OK to keep comparing yourself to this ideal, that person, that externally driven idea of what is acceptable. Live your life and do your work. That is the only thing you can do. Endless berating of yourself will not help you. You must forgive yourself and let it go. You are good enough.
I am good enough.
I am capable. I am a good person, even if I did no work at all. But I choose to do some.

In honor of the fact that
this March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) thread
is continuing onwards into April ...
May we receive the blessings we need
instead of what we *think* we need.
Think outside the box!

Another day at a time...
Today is a very 'demand resistance' day - negative connotations to the things I need to do:
I want to do 40mins study with 20mins do another job I want to do
Study:
Anatomy
Elbow
axilla/scapWrist
Upper arm
4x toxicology cards
Desirable jobs:
Washing off line
Make bed
Transfer money
Check car balance
I FOUND OUT THAT I MADE MY LAST CAR PAYMENT SO OWN IT NOW!!!!
Then got depressed as don't have many savings but then realised that payroll owes me LOTS of money (al legal chasing) so part of that's not really my fault but a reminder to be wise in the future.
write post card to G, G, ED
Email MSwim at 6pm
- changed to walk or pilates
Nap at 5 or 8
Start work at 10pm for nights
What I am NOT going to have time to do:
- finish unpacking boxes - aim for that after each night shift and finish friday - LET IT GO.

(replying to your comment further down the thread)
Due to the current technical glitch ... in addition to not being able to start any new threads ... We cannot edit the existing thread-starters either.
But we can *reply* to any previously-existing threads.
And we *can* edit our own replies to threads (as long as our replies haven't received replies).
Therefore, since we cannot change the current thread-starter at this time, or start a new one ... anyone could instead *occasionally* intersperse inspirational quotes and/or pictures amongst the check-in posts on this long ongoing thread.
This will be "good enough" until the forum is repaired.
@ movingalong
Great - thanks!xo
