What to focus on this week? At first I was kind of at a loss, I couldn’t think of anything I should focus on. In life though, there is always room for improvement. So this week…
Sometimes people will come into my office and I’ll be so busy/stressed I will answer questions without even looking up. It doesn’t happen every day, but it’s still NOT OKAY. Same thing happens with the hubby, family, and friends… my mind is going a million miles a minute to the point where I can’t focus on the conversation at hand. While multi-tasking is a great skill, sometimes its better to slow down and knock out one task at a time. Otherwise 10 minutes later I can’t remember what decision I made when I answered that question without looking up from my computer. Then I have to go ask… that’s annoying for me and them… so this week I will try to be more present in my interactions with others by:
- Looking people in the eyes when I talk to them
- Limiting the time I spend on social media to true down time
- Making a to do list, focusing on one project at a time as much as possible
- Meditating and praying daily (this helps to center me so it is easier to focus on one thing at a time).

Fitness
Okay well, so we know there was no damage to my hip. In addition, my soreness has improved a 100 fold since I started sitting on a pillow at work. I’ve started to go on daily 10-40 minute walks and still doing the upper body. I’m hoping by next weekend I can get a little run in… fingers crossed and lots of prayers!
