I am grateful for...

1.I'm grateful for heating on a cold day.
2.I'm grateful that I've been consistent in making my new habits, despite lack of support.
3.I'm grateful that I can live comfortably, and that the only things I worry about are how to make my life better.

What would make today great?

1.LUNCH!
2.I'm hoping today can be productive, even though time is usually tight on Thursdays.
3.Mild weather.

Daily affirmations. I am...

... worth it.

3 Amazing things that happened today.

1.Lunch was, as expected, totally amazing; the restaurant was on College Ave, and the area felt a little nostalgic too.
2.I (re)discovered a mental wellness app called Headspace, and I'm eager to give it a go.
3.I got to head home a little early, and gained a free hour of time.

How could I have made today better?

There are so many things I want to do, and I just can't fit it all. Time-blocking everything I do has really shown me how much time I spend working.

I really didn't eat very well today. I want to think of myself as a healthy person, but still having a hard time. I've had trouble timing my meals - I eat breakfast earlier than before, and get super hungry before 11am. Today, I eat instant eatmeal, which just had a ton of sugar. Tsk tsk. I know I can do better.

I discovered the Zombie Run app; using habitica has been awesome, so if I can gamify other parts of my life, that would be pretty great.

I'm also thinking that I need to take some of the advice from Atomic Habits, and put them into practice. Most notably:

  • environment: I want to dedicate a space for each of my activities, so that when I'm in each space, I'll be able to focus on what I want to do.
  • friction: there are definitely ways that I could make my habits a little easier. I could get lunch further away, and that would force me to walk more. Also need to get my multiple monitors set up so that I can work more efficiently. I also need to set up my food-prep game so that making breakfast / dinner isn't as time consuming.
