Progress Report Week 4 (October 7)


This week's successes:
  • I have looked a little further into the Costa Rica Option and it still needs work but the possibility is very exciting.
  • I went into Ottawa and spent a morning with my niece although I need to work on timing with that one. She will be three this month and this opportunity will be gone next year if she goes to school so I have to grab it while I can. She is very set in her ways and not really open to new people but I am hoping in time this will improve.
  • I met with Patti at the gym and am not cancelling my membership but sinking into a deeper hole and joining an exercise class that starts at 6AM! Not sure about this, it is too early for my body, it will interfere with my meditation routine and it is sinking more money into an already lost situation. However I'm going to give it my best shot. 
  • I also spoke to her about teaching a yoga class at the gym and I'm excited about that. The downfall is that it is on Saturdays but it is only for a couple of months, starting in January so I think this will be a good thing for me.
  • I did look on-line at some real estate but have been unable to get out and see the places as Michelle has been busy. That will be on next weeks agenda.
  • Oh I booked my flights for March to go visit Merilee!!! Very exciting.
  • I met with Judy and she will be joining me for the yogathon on Oct 13 and there are also a few other events on that day including a 60's party that we may go to. Or a wine tasting, or go to the Keystorm.
  • I found someone to replace me at the Food Bank and I am getting better at putting my foot down with regards to the work I agree to do for them.
  • I raised the rent's at the apartment. I am getting some conflict with one of the units but I will deal with that this week.


Still going well:

  • I have managed to make the time to join two yoga classes and stick with it.
  • Still meditating. Not daily but the routine is developing.

To follow up on:

  • Create a plan to get home improvements done. Create a timeline and stick to it.
  • Continue to look on-line at real estate
  • Start working on Stained Glass
  • Meet with the guidance counsellor at school about taking a semester off
  • Deal with Apartment 2 aggression. He has been leaving nasty messages and it has to stop. I need to let him know that this is unacceptable. This is an empowerment issue!

Things to work on:
  • Increase meditation and yoga to 5-7 days a week. I have come to realize that this may be too much to aspire to. I thought if I could at least work on three postures a day that would be great. Once strengthening, one balance and one stretching in an area I need work.
  • Wake at 6AM every day
  • read cards on loving yourself
  • book a trip to Vipassana
  • find low back pain exercises and start doing them
  • QUIT Typs. Even if I can't find a replacement I have to stop going out there and give them my final invoice!!
OK It's getting better. This isn't a total replication of last time. I feel like I have made some progress with the easy items. I need to focus a bit more on the challenging items.
