No alcohol – changed now to mindful alcohol. Also I'm interested to see what I do when I am out socially, and how much I 'choose' to drink and eat.
Mindful eating – Good food counts, it makes us what we are.
Daily body scan – Also aware more of how I am in time and space, if that makes sense.
Charity shop shopping – all shopping needs to consider creativity, waste, need, quality and the environment.
Mindful breathing every hour – I need to be more aware of this at work.
Remembering my friends – and thinking of them often, as well as knowing they are thinking of me.
Smiling regularly – doint it now!
Help if and when I can – When am I helping, and when am I interfering? Good question Alic.
Italian conversation class – Hoping to collect my cds at the library tonight, they have emailed to say they are there.
Becoming a blogger – how much interesting stuff is out there? I continue to learn how much I don't know!
Writing 10 mins daily – Looking at this today. Might shift it to 20mins alternate days.
Drinking a glass of water every hour – this is so good for me. It even affects my pain levels.
Thinking about it, before I say yes or no – and trying not to pre-empt the yes and no of others!
Having my eyes tested – done, not sure it's helping.
Walking in the fresh air every day – going in a minute!
Pilates core exercise throughout day – Proably succeeding at this, at least 5-6 times a day, and my clothes are fitting much better. This is the best it has been since my 2 abdominal surgeries and I thought the muscle tone was lost forever.
Listening to my needs – I need to switch the computer off and go for a walk!
Mindful spending – using the village store helps to keep you focused on essentials. Also it means I spend less on petrol, as the next nearest shop is 4 miles away.
Neck exercises – good, and seeing osteo again on Monday.
Accepting compliments – bring em on
Really saying thank you to people – when I can
Mindful speaking – more silence please!
Applying for position of school governor – voting papers are on the way.
Way back when I decided I needed to seriously change my life, I asked for suggestions from friends for stuff i might do. My good friend Weije suggested a Tai chi class. I had thought about this before, and had it recommended by osteopaths. I had never found one near enough to make it accessible and regular for me. I told Weije this and asked for a DVD recommendation. He gave me a youtube link, but still felt a class with an instructor would be most useful. I took the hint and fished around, yet again for someone local. Another friend, Georges, suggested to me that when we are ready, the universe provides. And lo! There is a new class starting in Horncastle next Tuesday! Easy to get to, not too late, cheap as chips, go when you can. How good is that? I'm off....
