New Beginnings and Personal Challenges

September 1, 2021 11:52pm CST
Today was a great day and a wonderful start to a new month for me. In the month of August, I have set myself some 90-day challenges, one of which was to release 21 Covid quarantine pounds. Today I was able to get in a 2-mile walk, I luvvv walking but I have not been comfortable in my new surroundings, due to unfamiliarity and loose dogs. However, we are adaptable and have to be for change and growth. Sometimes You've just got to do what you've got to do and deal with it to get the prize. I was happy to see that I made a sale, shortly after I shipped one out so I am well on my way to birthday gift funds for three of my very special blessings. Tomorrow I will give Thanks for a new sale as well, I'm sure of it. I didn't have the opportunity to work on my word press site today but Lord willing, tomorrow will present another opportunity. I got to talk with loved ones and the weather was cool, I'm excited about Fall approaching. Does anyone else have personal challenges or goals for this month? Would anyone be interested in an accountability partner?

Yes, I do have personal challenge at the moment too. And I hope I will make it safely to the other end.

Hi, for me it would be a person that may have similar goals and we share those goals and what they are with each other , cheer each other on, and share in our progress -and in support of each other, we check in with each other by way of sharing our progress according to our set goals and timelines, remembering that the goal is of course progress over perfection. By mutual agreement, we are somewhat accountable to each other -after ourselves of course

Grats on your sales. Main goal for the month is get a better paying job. I take it day by day making sure that I allot an hour or two submitting resumes and networking. Good luck with your goals for the month.

@EncouragerForTheKing true. I use the Pomodoro Technique in setting up my tasks and the time I spend on each.

Thank you, Allen : ) , I think that's awesome that you have set blocks of time to invest, planting those seeds to reap the harvest. I hope that soon you have a better-paying position that brings you greater joy and much better pay. I have set up something of a flow chart of my time expenditures to try and ration and allot accordingly, there is so much I need to do in a day, and having such an overly active mind as I do and as many project it is sometimes a juggling act, as well as a work of art and discipline in progress. I mean how else will I create a life by design that brings me joy in these final chapters.Right? :)

:) Well, it sounds like much-deserved rest after a long day's work, I'm happy that you allow yourself that time to rejuvenate and socialize with your online friends after your workday. This is essential and I also enjoy this form of self-care.

Regardless of the dwelling, it is home when you make it that way. And having a positive attitude as you display is your best defense in difficult times like we are in.

Thank you Julia and I agree. Oddly although I refer to this as a home it really as felt more like a workstation or base to work out of and store my belongings. It has been humbling and I am truly grateful. I have been here a little over year. I definitely plan to see if I cant get moved asap. I make the best of it but it is probably not so healthy.
