Goals Update - January 2021

Hello to everyone and hello to 2021!

So. It has been a while. I’m not entirely sure what happened to my blogging habits, but I am back and ready to start up again!

I’ll get straight to it – I have lost my habits completely. There was one week in December where I was dealing with a personal, highly emotional issue, and I spent too many nights using distractions techniques to get myself to stop dwelling on the problem.

I’m back to square one. Which is okay. I’m not beating myself up about it for once. I’m just . . . starting again. That’s all.

I’m sure you won’t be surprised to know that journaling will be my number one habit again. However, I’m using the new lockdown just like I did last April to really reset myself and get to work on what I need in my life.

In the lockdown last year, I was going through some major anxiousness with the uncertainty of seeing my family. I used my routines as a way to help motivate and distract me. There is much less of the sense of anxiousness this time around, but there will definitely be a motivation issue since I will not be leaving the house for any reason.

Right now, I have one goal, but I’ll see how much I can fit in this month as well.

How is everyone else feeling? Are you setting small goals? Intentions? Resolutions? Let me know!

Recently Read - October 2020

Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view. It’s an i...

Book Review- A Treatise On Shelling Beans by Wieslaw Mysliwski

So this book took me way too long to read. I read before bed to shut my brain off, but I was so exhausted all summer that I was asleep as soon as I got into bed. It has been a long time, but I finally finished it! I took a good handful of quotes that sparked my thinking, so brace yourself! And if you’re interested in the tradition summer, you can find it here . 1. When people can be divided by something they always will be (9). Just think-the only thing that really divides us as people are differences. If we see someone who is a fraction of a fraction different than us, our minds consider it division. Why is that? Why must we let things get in the way of relationships? 2. All the more because if you ask me, these days the soul is a commodity like anything else. You can buy it and sell it, and the prices aren’t high (28) A popular book genre of the modern era is “self-help.” Lumped with that...
