Having a plan and implementing one are two very different things. This past week was more challenging than I anticipated, mostly because I’d failed to plan for my obstacles. In addition, I traveled to Chicago over the weekend for a training, and the hotel's weak internet connection made it impossible to get any work completed.
Here is my breakdown from week 1.
Mind:
Over the past few months, I've been slowly working on some big projects, but with looming deadlines and no room for procrastination I dived into them this past week. First, I spent most of my time watching informational videos from a Creative Live class on travel photography. It has given me some great pointers, and I've especially enjoyed learning more about Lightroom.
This summer I am in charge of our first family reunion and a celebration for my parent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. I love making photo books and so I wanted to create a combination yearbook/reunion book to help celebrate the event. I was able to pin down the design for the book, which has been plaguing me for the past few months. Now that I have a clear design focus, it will be easy to get the book finished.
Body:
I was 7/7 on recording my food in My Fitness Pal. Yeah--one win! The big struggle was exercise and hydration. I noticed that most days I drank ¾ of my water in the evening after work and very little during the day. Week 2 my goal is to get ½ my water drunk before 5:00 p.m. To address my exercise deficiency, I've already scheduled my gym visits for this week.
Spirit:
I've decided to redo this section (thus the updated graphic below) because I was already doing some of these things (prayer and scripture reading) and it wasn’t really much of a challenge. A friend asked me this week what I was doing to cultivate deeper relationships, and I realize that is something I haven’t addressed. Therefore, I added the new categories.
Now onto week 2!
