My June project’s theme was to nourish myself in 3 main areas – more sleep, more walking and eating better.
The sleep was excellent – I ended off the month on an average of 7 hrs 45 minutes. It is exactly what I said before – if I don’t track it or intentionally go to sleep more, my sleep is awful.
My goal was 4 walks and I managed 3, so not bad, but could be better. I feel really good about one of those walks though because it completely nourished my soul.
The eating better? Yes and no. I chose better meals on the whole, but I could have done much, much more. It’s just so darn cold to eat salads at home during winter. I don’t mind in an airconditioned office but at home I don’t want to see a vegetable straight from the cold fridge.
Onto July…
This month I’ve set a theme of refresh for my life.
- We’re going on a family holiday and I want to use the time to completely relax, read some unputdownable novels and rejuvenate my spirit.
- I intend to take at least one walk every day with whoever’s game, no matter the weather 🙂 I’m putting this here for accountability.
- I’ve been doubting my value in friendships recently and God’s been whispering to me that I am still enough (word of the year – 2015!) so I want to spend time writing down these truths and meditating on what He says about me. I feel like this is the perfect time to get filled up on His Word, just before my birthday month.
- We’re coming up on one year in our house so I also want to take the occasion to refresh areas of my home by doing a bit of decluttering, reorganising, sprucing up, etc.
- Our house also needs its upstairs outside windows cleaned. Desperately. What is the point of a house with a view if you can’t see properly through the windows, right?!
- Then, I think I will try one last time to get my book back from a PR company who has not returned it for a whole year. After that, I’m going to let it go.
- And besides all that, I have some birthday parties to throw to celebrate another circle around the sun for all 4 of us.
My July is really busy. So not much time for relaxing. One thing I hope to do is refresh my house a little. Move a few things around so that everything functions better.
How is that going for you, Terisha? There’s just under a week left of the month 🙂
Refresh is a great word!
Did you choose a word for the year, Nina?
Always good to get some R&R after working so hard! Not much relaxing done this month! And it is 8 days to the end of the month. I’m hoping to still get a massage and maybe a hair trim or pedicure! Except I need to visit the dentist tomorrow sadly!!
How would you clean the windows? Do you need to get a professional?
How did the dentist go?
Yes, I need to get professionals in. I’ve accepted that…. that the price of living in a house with a beautiful view is paying for window cleaners 🙂
