I woke up today, not really wanting to get out of bed. It’s been a struggle to do everything I normally do. I’ve been getting things done, but I’m working at a much, much slower pace. Which is okay. Tomorrow I will probably wake up and be back to normal. So I’m not beating myself …
Navigate
Navigate means to find a way to get to a place. We may be ambitious and want to do something new (or have to do something new) but since it’s new, we don’t really know what we’re doing. Sometimes it seems like everyone else knows what they’re doing and it can be frustrating or even …
MyFitnessPal
Today I would like to sing the praises of the free App MyFitnessPal by Under Armour. I like it because it trains you to be conscious of what you're eating and make better choices. It also shows you - with numbers- how beneficial exercise is. I admit it took a few tries before I started using …
Lists
Lists are very helpful for keeping us on track. When I was working I liked to make a list of what I wanted to accomplish that day and I’d also write down what I actually accomplished at the end of the day in my weekly calendar book. It was helpful for preparing the quarterly reports …
Be like a Kite
Kites take off with wind, listen to the little voice in your head when it tells you to do something instead of procrastinating. Doesn't it seem like it takes more energy to keep thinking about having to do a particular thing than just to do it and get it over with? Kites have a string to keep it attached …
Journeys
When we go on a trip we make plans (sometimes) and we get to experience something new. We might even change a little as we experience new places, events, or people. Sometimes only one of those elements has to be different to experience something interesting. We can experience a new place with an old friend, …
Inspiration
Inspiration is valuable in all aspects of our life. Sometimes we are bummed and a song or movie can pick us up. Sometimes we’re working on something and need a little boost to keep us going when we’re stuck. Friends can motivate me to do thing things they know are important to me when I’m …
Happiness or Habit
Keeping it short today, it's a busy day. Gretchen Rubin started her website called the Happiness Project to research happiness but she has since branched out to studying habits. Check it out! http://www.gretchenrubin.com/ This blog post is part of the April 2016 A-Z Challenge which involves writing a blog post every day (except for Sunday) …
Garden
In my poetry class this week the instructor wanted to inspire us for our final poem of the semester which is about a journey. We packed up our stuff left the classroom and took a walk across campus. There is a beautiful little medicinal garden at my university which consists of a variety of plants, …
Fitbit
This is the day I have been waiting for—F! I’ve been doing research on Fitbit for a class project and I have way too much I can say. Since we have to keep it brief for the A-Z bloggers who are very busy writing posts every day and visiting other A-Z bloggers there is a short …
