Have you noticed I've been trying to include the word up, or at least find a quote where the message hints at making progress, in my motivational Monday quotes? Just one way of trying to keep my word of the year front and center.
Showing up in every single moment is something I need to keep working on. I need to not regret things from the past, long for things I want but don't have, or just wait for the future. I can't think constantly about the never-ending to-do list, whether it be tasks for home, school, or for myself.
Whatever it is I am doing in each and every minute, I just need to be present and focused. By far it makes it easier to get things done. It makes it easier to enjoy the down times and the fun times. It reduces stress.
This week I want to show up by:
- picking just one night to stay at work late, and leave by 5/5:30 every other night.
- not feeling guilty when I go out with friends Friday night! Can't wait for our night at Canvas and Chardonnay.
- finding ways to focus; when I am on prep at work, focus on the paperwork, when doing homework, focus on the assignment; when I am with Ava, focus on her with the phone and computer put away, etc. Be present in the moment; get the task done!
