Upgrading my Habits.  (get it?  get it? lol)
Goal Setting Demon 

     I  need another goal like I need a hole in my head, but...somewhere along the line I seem to have become addicted to goal setting and goal pursuing.  

     It's a good thing...except when it isn't.

     I've improved my fitness level, and my writing discipline.  I meditate more, and watch less TV.  I eat more vegetables and fruit, and less sugar.  I check my calendar more, and social media less...

     These are good goals, right?  But, geez Louise...there's always room for improvement isn't there?  I think I like, enjoy, and accept myself more than I ever have.  I think I have more patience and compassion for myself than I ever used to...but it's sort of an 'all evidence to the contrary' thing.  


     I do seem to put a lot of pressure on myself.


More Room For New Stuff Again

     It's partly because habits that were once hard...just don't take that much effort after a while.  They just become part of what I do in a day.  Things that were once my all-consuming tasks for the day, get done as easily as I used to sit down and scroll through my phone for hours.  So, in a way, I have bought myself time.  And, in a way, these goals take up less bandwidth to maintain than they did to set up.

     I know when to put things on a back burner and just blow them off.  Yesterday, for instance, I took an un-planned exercise rest day, ate less-than-perfectly, and basically slept alllll dayyy looonnnggg.

    It was AMAZING.

    It followed four days in a row of flying and I enjoyed every minute of it
...but I did make sure I got my new goal in, because new goals are the easiest ones to lose.

     There's also the fact that the hardest, most all-consuming parts of the house renovation are coming to an end.  We might actually get to live there and enjoy it.  

    So now I'm going to really get to enjoy the local community.

Viva Español!

     So...I'm back to learning Spanish!
