Last week was…I’m not even sure what it was. I just lost track of things. Trying to stop multitasking and focus, but I’ve got some belief that I can’t quite grasp that makes me feel like I have to do everything at once.
So last week, when I should have been writing this (it’s technically week 8 now but will post that one later tonight), I think my brain just had static/shorted out, and I forgot what I was doing and wasn’t focused on anything… except…
The Mental Diet!
I’ve been working on the mental diet and realizing just how irritated I get all day over things I can’t control. The mental diet of not thinking grumpy/angry etc thoughts is so much harder than I thought it would be.
I’ve been practicing gratitude for so many years and don’t hold on to things like I used to. I could get cut off in traffic on the way to work and then complain at home about it during dinner… but I don’t do that anymore. I’ve learned to let go of a lot. Very glad about that…so when I started the mental diet, it didn’t occur to me that I couldn’t get through a day without resetting – LOL
It does help so much to grasp for positive thoughts to banish the bad ones, but I have yet to make it through a whole day without resetting multiple times.
A friend used to say I was addicted to news and doom scrolling Twitter, and now I’m seeing that in a different light and will add to my list of things to work on.
I know I’ve been all over the place, but I think after the last couple of weeks, I’m starting to find North again…I’m done spinning like an out-of-control compass.
Being self-aware is such a gift, Renee. The fact that you’re able to notice when the old blueprint comes up is fabulous. You’re growing more than you might think.
Renee it’s good to read that even though you hadn’t posted on time that you kept your commitment to post for the week. I like your insight that you can reset within the day instead of every day being a new day.
