Anyway. I'm already making plans, though. Here are 10 things I'm thinking of, to start.
- Walk every day, even if it's just 15 minutes at lunch. This may include walking to work a couple days. (even more compelling after being pulled over tonight by a policeman who informed me, very politely, that I had a headlight out. Great.)
- Find/buy dumbells for Oprah's Eight Essential Weight Training Thingies.
- Get up 1/2 hour earlier to continue the Poetry Project, and eat a small breakfast.
- Conversely, sleep in until the last minute if I want to.
- Buy canvasses to finish the veggie painting series.
- Make a list of recipes I want to try in the next month(s).
- Read every night in bed (or not).
- Mix up some natural homemade face mask stuff. Use it.
- Eat dark chocolate every day if I want.
- To get some more ideas, get out that Self-Care for Women book I have somewhere, and pick a few to do.
Hmm. This reads an awful lot like a resolutions list, but that's okay. I just want to remind myself of all the good options there are. And I feel like getting exercise and eating well is a very good way to take care of myself and that I'll feel much better and more inspired if I do exercise. So, it's not a "exercise to lose 10 pounds" thing, it's a "exercise to feel more clear-headed and strong" thing. Totally different. Right?
Gratitude for the day: Thankful that I have my mental health (mostly). There are so many people for whom life is a scary endurance test. I'm glad I'm able to see it (sometimes) as an adventure. I don't want to forget that.
