Last Week's Wishes
1. Catch up on reading: Life is still crazy busy, so I'm still not reading as much as I would like, but I have carved out ten minutes before bed to read rather than using that time to check my phone for the millionth time. I'm calling that a success.
2. Be more present at work: I'm definitely trying to pay more attention to what my kids' needs and focus in on whatever emotional stresses they might be under for the day. Their tiny people with big ideas and it's fun to listen to them rather than talk at them sometimes.
3. Write: Signed up for that writing course Steven bought me for V-day. It starts next week. So excited. Wewt!

This Week's Wishes
1. Appreciate the positive: I've found myself falling into that trap a lot lately where I focus on the negative and the bad and the stressful rather than the positive or the happy. I want to make sure to take time every day to appreciate and enjoy life, rather than just going through the motions.
2. Pack up for camping: I've never been camping, but we're going to give it a try for my birthday. It's a cheaper alternative to going to a hotel, and we'll be right on the beach. Cross your fingers that it goes well, haha.
As always, I'll keep you updated on how I do this week. By the way, weekly wishes is a link-up The Nectar Collective hosts each week where people write about their goals or challenges they want to achieve for the week. Hence... weekly wishes!

One of the things I need to work on is the positive side of things. I think for me it may be the weather that is just making everything worse but I need to take it upon myself to be more positive. Hope your weekly wishes come true!
ReplyDeleteWinter weather can be such a downer, right? Just keep in mind that spring is (hopefully) around the corner! :)
DeleteThanks so much for sharing the link, so excited to start! And I totally agree with appreciating the positive things more, something I struggle with myself!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with it daily. Here's hoping I do better with it this week! So glad you're starting the link-up!
DeleteI started this week off on my b*tchy foot, so I'm going to need to focus on the positive with you this week. Have fun on your birthday camping trip! I'm a little jealous.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I know how that goes. I had the worst case of the Mondays today. We'll work on being positive together. :)
DeleteAppreciating the positive is such a great goal!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping I can do it!
DeleteI def need to go back and add "catch up on my reading" to my list! Im so behind! Good luck on your goals for this week!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, I am always behind on my reading. *sighs* Thanks!
DeleteBest of luck with all these goals!! I too am delving into doing more writing and I'm loving it, it's an untapped passion of mine and I hope to get better and better at it! Hope your Monday is off to a great start!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm hoping this class really motivates me to get writing and teaches me a few new tricks!
DeleteHey happy birthday and have fun camping on the beach. I've been camping many many times but never on the beach! Sounds romantic actually! Have a blast! I need to focus on the positive this week myself!! Good luck with your goals ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully it's a good time. :) Good luck with your goals, too!
DeleteWe all get into the negativity trap once in a while. I've been working on appreciating the positive for a while now and I'm slowly getting better at it. I'm sure you will, too! Just keep your head up! :) I hope that you have fun camping! I haven't been camping since I was a small kid, but it was wicked fun! Can't wait to read how it goes! :) Happy [belated/early?] birthday!
ReplyDeleteSo true. It's such a trap to get sucked into the negative, but I still fall for it from time to time. I hope we have fun too, but of course, I will post all about it next week. :) Have a good day!
DeleteI think for me I've been trying to be grateful of everything I have. I may not have the best things, but they're perfect for me, and that's all that matters :) Good luck with camping! To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of camping, but I wish you have fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to look at it, Zia. :) Thanks! I know camping isn't for everyone, but I'm sure we'll have a good time regardless!
DeleteOH have fun camping. I love going. Good luck with your goals this week.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds promising. :) Thanks!
