realized this month that my brain quietly deletes my own wins. I titled the month "tough," then rated almost everything a 7, higher than when I started. My comeback actually works now, I feel the heat climb my back and I get outside with my dogs before it runs me. Turns out I don't sell myself short anymore. Still learning to let people see that.

Friday night I got back from two weeks of vacation, attending photography classes. Saturday morning I unpacked the whole bag. Not like my last trip to India when I wanted to clean every little item thoroughly, but that still took me months. The solution was to keep going without sitting down 😊

I'm claiming something new, and I want to share it with you. From now on, Mondays are MY days. 🙌 Not the day I catch up on everyone else's needs. Not the day I disappear under the laundry, the to-do list, the endless caretaking. My day. Here's what that means 👇 ✨ I consciously build in the things that matter to me. ✨ I gently push back the things others ask of me. ✨ I put myself at the very top of my own to-do list, so I stop falling through the cracks. 🕳️➡️🌟 Because here's what I've learned: if I don't choose myself on purpose, there's only ever a scrap of time left. And I refuse to live like that. 💛 So this Monday, at least a few things that are important to ME are going to happen. On purpose. No permission needed. Who's with me? Tell me one thing you'd put on YOUR day. 👇 #MondayMyDay

I have a pretty big win today I've been under the weather for about 4 days and this is the first time where I've experienced something like that a downturn and I haven't beaten myself app at all I was really incapacitated yesterday with a nasty sinus headache like I haven't had in a year and today I got app feeling good it was my second good night's sleep in a row and what I now is that I'm going to do better today but there's no blame and guilt and beating myself up for the last few days and that is very very new For me and a huge win
