I have not been productive lately. I know injury and pain impact hard on function, but I am very aware that I have been putting off tasks that I could and should be making a better effort at completing, injured or not. On the other hand, perhaps I should accept this as a time of change, recovery and renewal; embrace gentle progress without agitating for dynamism. Still, stuff needs to get done! Some things are on track: food (see last night’s healthy low-carb sesame fish and salad); my 28-day alcohol-free challenge (I have completed 3 weeks); and my daily meditation and stretching practice. At the beginning of my @oneyearnobeer 28-day alcohol-challenge, I decided to give myself a reward for every AF week. For Week 3 I have given myself a playful pink flamingo tea infuser (the seal is great - no floaters) and a book of Zen quotations with Japanese art illustrations. Monday’s guided mediation practice focused on the inner coach - appropriate for addressing my admin avoidance in a positive way… and lol - apparently it worked! I kicked my butt into gear to tackle the task I hate most: sorting and tallying the cash receipts. It’s not difficult, just mudane and tedious, and boy do I procrastinate! I guess I need to take a Zen approach more often…⌛ Rob bought the ‘I Quit Sugar’ book. With my alcohol challenge going on, I am not about to quit feel-good treats like mangoes and dark chocolate (the book is an 8-week reset challenge to restore the body to healthy sugar consumption levels). However, the book has some awesome recipes and great breakfast and snack ideas, so I plan to get stuck into them this week. -- source link
