Last week at the full moon I discerned a new intention:
I intend to list clear actionable steps towards paring down, resilience habits, delegation, care-taking, and community-building because the next 2-weeks are our boot camp for the long haul of recovery.
The truth is that I need to control the bits I can control: MY habits, my preparations and negotiations, my integrity and compassion. So, for the next two weeks I'm putting myself through Resilience Boot Camp!
1. Create order
2. Health and renewal plans
1. Create order:
One of my core values is to cultivate the spiritual quality of Order, practicing habits of self-regulation and creative energy, instead of acting on impulse, or giving in to mental overwhelm.
Today I have renewed an intention to create order and simplicity in my sanctuary, so that everything I keep has a place, all things are honored, and I know what is in each space: Try a daily morning-10-things / afternoon-choice ritual to help me take control over a bit of my life and conquer mental overload, because outer order supports inner calm and resilience.
My plan has 2 parts:
- Morning order: At about 9:15, say "10 Things!", and get up to fill the dishwasher, take out the trash, etc. and while I do that I also count out 10 things to put away.
- Daily choice: Later, when I do my house cleaning task, I'll choose one space to really sort through, such as clearing off the bathroom shelves, or the studio table.
2. Health and renewal plans:
Every week I look at my list of renewal ideas and evaluate how I'm doing, and what habits I need to build. This week I want to focus on:
- Body: Continue the Stand Strong routine; Drink more water - aim for 3 glasses daily.
- Mind: Work a little every day on my N-C project!
- Spirit: Enjoy nature daily with photos and grubbing.
- Heart: Give attention to being calm, stoic, even-tempered, the bedrock for the family; find ways to celebrate who W is.
