It's been a while

I found my last post here, which was written about 5 months ago, about writing 500 words a day. I didn't make it. I always started the challenges, did well in the first few days, and buried them while my focus went elsewhere. It's already September. I haven't get what I really want to do in this year done. There are still less than 4 months to go, though I might not be able to catch up everything, I can still get something done. One of my focuses for this year is working hard on my homeschooling, and we are working on it. I am also working on some other online sites, so I can earn some extra money to purchase some homeschooling resources, including books online. I am glad I have bought quite a number of books online, and my eldest son enjoyed reading them. I still need to work hard on daily meditation and exercise, including yoga. I do these once in a while, but not consistently. Again, I am still working hard on being a gentle and loving mom. I have been working on this challenge for years, but I am still not there yet. I hope everyone is doing well here. I will try to catch up as much as I can. myLot is still my favorite online home, though I don't write here always.

Why do you put pressure on yourself? Nobody cares if you write 500 words a day or not. Meditation, yoga, etc. Why don't you take things easy? Do something you like when you feel like it. If you don't feel like it, don't do it. "Working hard on being gentle" sounds funny.

Thanks for your advice. Yes, actually nobody cares, except myself. It's just that I am lacking of will power and I am learning to build it. I guess I am always the person who like to "do things when I feel like it", but sometimes I think it might be good to move out of my comfort zone. And yes, that always add pressure to me.

Luckily I didn't set too many goals this year so I haven't met too many of them.

I am not having to do cyber school anymore since everyone my son went back to public school this year. Most the things I wanted to get done this year I haven't finished either.
