Now when I say “camping” I mean in a cabin with real beds, bathroom & kitchen. So we made our traditional blackeyed peas seasoned with pieces of our Christmas ham. We also did the First Day Hike which is a great start to the New Year.Jennifer Poslusnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-42475959275514661542023-01-02T15:21:14.794-05:002023-01-02T15:21:14.794-05:00I used the Best Year workbook one year.

Last month I bought a new journal; the first pages will be a list of things I WANT this year and what I'll need to do to get them. I'll leave room for more wants. I want to walk unassisted again, which will require exercise; but instead of just "exercising more," I have specific exercises, a goal, and an intense desire to be independent. I want to finish the book I've been working on forever, which will require opening the manuscript, thinking (it's easier not to), and believing I can do it. Some wants are for immediate pleasure and require only getting up out of my chair and putting on shoes. But the first sentence I'll write in the journal will be, "The cup is already broken." And it is. I planned to begin my journal on January 1 instead of the 2nd. If I don't exercise every day, or write every day, I won't have failed (and therefore have reason to stop). All my life, perfection has tripped me up. Progress and happiness will be enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-72495139568810538992023-01-02T14:11:05.962-05:002023-01-02T14:11:05.962-05:00Danielle, thank you 😊.

Here's Tara Parker-Pope's suggestions for figuring your nudge out:<br /> " Write down the things that made you happy this year. What felt good? What do you get excited about? What would it take to feel this way all the time?<br /> Next, think about what parts of your life could be better. What causes you stress? Are you thriving at work or feeling bored? Do you wake up excited about your day? What’s happening in your relationships?<br /> Finally, check in with your body. How is your physical health? How is your mental well-being? How do you feel when you look in the mirror?"Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.com
