Happy Tuesday friends! How are you all doing? There is just one week left for school and my kids are so thrilled. They love the summer and having the time off. I truly believe given the year we have had that kids have such resilience and are much capable then many adults I know. They tend to go with the flow and have done such a great job. I am so proud of my kids!!! Can't wait to celebrate with them next week.
In part of the celebration, I was also thinking about my own victories and all that I have learned and grown over the past 6 months. Its been hard but boy am I proud of just hanging in there. Mid year reviews are a good way to reflect on how things are going and to see if anything needs to change for the last 6 months of the year.
So yesterday I wrote a few questions to think about and I have started to reflect on my own progress. Its not in detail but its a start. Here are some of the things that I am thinking about:
How is your self care going?- Going good so far. I have been walking and exercising at least 3-4 times a week. I also journal and meditate whenever I can so that helps. I also have been going for regular massages the last couple of months. Overall, I definitely am pleased with my self care routines but would need to re think about how I can exercise better.
What did you accomplish so far?- Waking up everyday and not loosing faith. I do loose hope but I have faith in something bigger than me.
Write a gratitude letter to yourself for showing up everyday.- Will need to work on this week.
Write all the things that you are grateful for.- My kids, books, weather, universe, my job, health, body and all the people in my life.
What lessons did you learn? Gosh so many lessons. Probably the biggest one is to let go. I also learned to recognize my own self worth and to stand up for myself and go for what I want.
What new things did you discover? That I would love to stay at the beach and I really don't like working for others. I would love to be my own boss.
So this is a start of my review so far. It is at a high level and I need to do a deeper dive. The whole purpose of this is to understand how the year went and all the changes I would like to incorporate into the rest of the year.
Friends, don't just let the rest of the year go by without giving some thought to how you would like to grow. I know its hard and we can't always control everything but reflection is such a good exercise to see how thing are going for you.
If no one has told you lately, you are worth and loved!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace
Monita
